This is great! I just finished the third book and awaiting the rest to arrive. I thought it futile to search if anyone had done anything related to the series
and I am very happy I did! You captured the mood perfectly and the dark style in the art reflects how the story was told. Great!
I am curious, which character did you feel your favorite? Honestly, through everything I read so far I'm still rooting for Raven.
Cant wait to see what has become of him in The Silver Spike.

Oh...my...God...I cant believe how well you painted the Black Company, I'm really envious right now, I wish I could do that...but you did them justice ^^

Love it. Feels right too, though for some reason I always imagined Croaker looking older. And balding.

A good follow up piece would be the group that heads south after the chronicles.
Really awesome work
You really captured that "Us against the world" feel I always get from their descriptions.

Great piece - love it, just the way I imagined them. I think you captured them all perfectly.

I think you captured the gritty grim reality of the Black Company series perfectly. I'm only just now starting Bleak Seasons and I really love the characters and the feel to it even if they leave out a lot of character detail about armor and gear. I like your portrayal of it.

anyone know of any drawings of the taken?
Great drawing man, captured the feel well

Another Black Company fan, eh? ^_^
Brilliant job. The tone is perfect, and the smoothness of the clothing is unbelievably realistic.
Only things I'd pick at are:
Silent was (I believe) originally bald.
One-Eye's hat was waaaay smaller than that.
And you left out the Lance of Passion! They always used that to bear their standard!
Seriously cool though. I'm faving it asap!

This piece of art is awesome. Of all the Black Company drawings out there, I think this one captures the feeling of the Black Company saga the best. The details are very sophisticated.
It would be great if it were available as a print, or if we could have a high-res version to use as a wallpaper.

Thank you,
I just made this available as a print, and if you want to use it as a wallpaper I made it open to download.

Man, I love the Black Company! This kicks ass. Great job - awesome rendering, very true style to the books, kick ass figure and tone.

Who is who? I'm guessing the main guy is Croaker, the woman with fire is Lady, sided by ... Raven and someone else? Murgen maybe?

The order is from left to right: Goblin, Captain, Croaker, Silent, Raven, and One-eye.

very good. I can see each of the characters in this depiction.

you have a great eye for detail, the grass, the horses and armour, it is all splendid. IF I were to be a critic, I would propose to enhance the contrast a bit more. That way you can enhance the characters movement towards the viewer. Perhaps a bit darker light...more of a sunset than a dawn if you know what I mean. But that's just my 2 cents. Great piece. That's the message
