Description
Well, it's The Fool, everyones favourite character from The Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb. Great books, you should all read them. Just finished it's sequel trilogy, The tawny man, and while I enjoyed it, I was absolutely pissed off at the ending. ahh! what was that bs about Fitz being half --- (won't spoil it for you, but it sure was stupid). But guess I shouldnt be complaining, since Fitz and Fool got some incredibly gay moments togetherI'm still a complete newbie at photoshop, but I had alot of fun messing around with this one.

I was/still am so devastated that about Fitz and the Fool at the end. Robin Hobb is my favourite author, I'm rereading the Farseer, Tawny Man and Live Ship trilogies all the time. ;D
And I never liked Molly much anyway >:l I'd pick the Fool. :3

I know what you mean! I loved Robin Hobb, until she totally messed up the ending. I still hold a forlorn hope that she'll continue the series, even though she's already started a new one.
And yes, love the incredible gay moments between Fitz and the Fool, love the art work by the way

This is magnificent... Absolutely wonderful.
I've been searching for a Fool for some time.
This picture represents all that I've been looking for
Really great work

This is very good, his expression is mystifying, like him, lol. Robin Hobb is my favorite author, so I can't believe that I hadn't read the Live Ship trilogy (I read the Farseer and Tawny Man trils first). Live Ship makes everything make more sense in the third tril. I think it would be interesting to see your interpretation of Amber.

I absolute adore this, and the Fool.
Favorite book character of all time.

Original portrayal of the Fool; beautiful but disturbing and dark. I like this.

That's amazing! I love it!
Youve spiked up my interest now. Im literally at the end of Assasin's Quest and Verity's Dragon is about to wake (woop!)...
Lol, I thought Fitz and the Fool might have a few gay moments.
Really Good pic, I want it! ^_^

brilliant! one of the few i've seen which actually looks a lot like i imagined him in the book.
actually, must admit to prefering the tawny man series, having read them first. have read them numerous times but confess to have forgotten most of the ending.

GingerPoodle [2006-10-14 15:14:47 +0000 UTC]
I love this, its really well done! I recognised him right away, so that proves how good you are! The cold colouring serves his early image perfectly...
And yes, I could have cried when the book ended the way it did...

Heh, Fool really is my favourite. I agree about the end, it felt rushed and fake and I hated it. It pissed me off because it could have been so much better and the rest of the series are so good and really deserves a good ending.
I like your picture very much. Especially the rat skull, I never imagined it like that. The colours are great too.
Yes I will fave it and the I will watch you
Hope that's okay

Yeah, I just finished the Tawny man and the last 3 chapters are just unsatisfactory after everything else....
This is a really interesting portrait of the Fool. It's not so much his outward image as the abused little runaway beneath it.

That is an absolutely wonderful interpretation of the Fool! (Off subject, but make sure you read the Liveship trilogy too; not quite as awesome, but I think you'd be pleasantly surprised at some of the things and people mentioned).

This is by far my favourite piece of you. The style is so individualistic, and i really appreciate the toned down colors and the mood they create around this guy. The hat is "inspired". Theonly thing more I would have liked to see from this picture was a little more definition in where the arm of his coat and the body of his coat meet, if you catch my meaning. Overall I really like the effect and atmosphere. Keep up the good work.
Regards,
Con

Thanks! I really appreciate that you took your time to give a nice and detailed comment like this. I know what you mean about the coat thing.. I couldn't get it right and in the end I was just.. "aaargh, goddammit let's call it finished..." Thanks again for your great comments, made me all happy inside

Mmm. Something I forgot to say was that all your work deserves full-views to catch all the small intricate goings on and details. Alright, now I am done.

This is beautiful. I've never seen a picture of the Fool like this. I especially like the text in the background. It adds alot to this image. I really like the expression. I think you captured him perfectly.

Thanks so much! The text is my handwriting, mirror imaged to make it look more "foreign". It was something I did on a whim, but I like how it turned out. Thanks again

I love the fool and yes, I hated the ending...I was plannning my hatemail and everything... but after a while i kinda decided there was absolutely no other way it could have all turned out...apart from

that the fool never knew if fitz came out of the stones alive that was just unfair, i was dazed....not fair!!!
lol, but i really like your pic pretty colors, and he looks desolate like i imagine him in the ice
