The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant Artwork

Wow, Blackhawk! Good job getting a lurker to come out.

Be welcome to the Watch, spoonchicken. Be Well Come and True.

[Blackhawk]

Only one small complaint...the location names are kinda hard to read. Hopefully they're easier to behold (!) on the full-sized finished product. I'll buy one and proudly hang it on the living room wall. Please keep us posted

actually on the full sized version I am going to have to make the text smaller.. when printed out on the largest size ...about 42 x 36 Inches it looks too big. With the smaller version online it is harder to read alot of the text, I have an 1600 x 1200 that i use for my desktop and it looks ok on a 17" monitor but the 1280 x 960 online can be hard to read.

I won't charge anyone for the map because the printing cost isnt cheap, if you want something in the 32 inch wide to the 42 inch range is about $50 - $90 for a Kinkos or something like that to print it out, plus a frame which you can get at just about any garage sale . so i will make the map available when i have the last few things done on it for people to download from some type of Xdrive account free of charge to Kevins watch members...something like that, there is another version on my webpage that fixes some inconsitencies around Foul's Creche. I havent posted it here because i dont want to bombard the server with every little change i make.

Ive posted a Morning view of Coercri's Lighthouse and Western Seareach in the laborium... I will post northern and southern seareach soon along with the City and docks gathering halls, cliffdwellings etc when i have them completed...im about halfway done with the city now that the landscape is finished.

I like the new stuff here. Soemttimes I find it hard to view the galleries here.
I hate to hear that SRD doens't like Sweet, becuase that to me is the dfinitive look too, being the first look I had.
I don't buy the "visualize it yourself" thing," not for fanasy.
But someone mentionned the LOTR..
Definitive artwork for that?
Done by JRR himself on my paperbacks.
The Sweet stuff worked for me because it dealt in almost all aspects with the human characters. Giants theonly odd characters andhey just appeared in two of theorigial six books. Really grounded it for me. Left the really odd creatures up to the imagination but made sure the human people, particualry ght grumpy one himself, as realistic.

Awesome, Blackhawk! You keep getting better; hard to believe you can get better, but you do.

I added three comic book pages from the Wounded Land to the album for giggles and bribes.

Thanks Deer, I checked out your myspace page..is that you?? if so your very talented and you have a great voice, I play guitar but cant read a note.

Good stuff Kevin. I checked out your webpage too... unbelievable drawing talent, extremely detailed. I liked the comic page with the Monster crying stop daddy? great work..... is that a concept of your own or an existing storyline?

[Kevin164]

Thanks Black Hawk for visiting my Blog. To answer your question about that comic book page it is based on the Hulk Universe. I did a short story of five pages introducing a character called BIG JOHN who's basically a heroic type gamma irradiated "Abomination." I mustered these five page for the Comic Con 2008 Portfolio review in about two days.

It was a total bust. I got in one review from Dark Horse Comics and the editor slammed that very page you liked on the drawing of the creatures human father. I knew I rushed it so I paid the price for my haste. Oh well, next year I'm buying Jwaneeta a round and I'm hitting the publisher booths with an updated Portfolio.

You can see all five pages if you use the link called INKED on side panel of my blog if you want.

Once I get a new computer that can handle Maya I'll be picking your brain for hints and tips, believe me. Your stuff rocks.

Great stuff from everybody. I think I'll stick to my plan of doing a stickman version of TCTC because you guys are way talented And yeah, I'm cool with the skull crushing

[Rocksister]

Speaking of artwork, refresh my memory; does Covenant have brown hair or what? All I remember is the graying at the temples mentioned in the 2nd Chrons, and "wheaten tresses" of Linden a million times. I think he has dark hair, but don't know where I got that idea. Just curious. I think it's time to start reading the series again. It's been four months since I finished it for the tenth time.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I found this while I was browsing DeviantArt earlier.

This isn't my work, but this is pretty much how I picture TC - though I realise he's supposed to be a little more gaunt...

What do you think?

[wayfriend]

I think it's very, very good (except for the location of the ring and the spelling of the authors name).

I wonder if we should snag an unauthorized copy of work such as this and add it to the Laborium.

Mirk0 also has a "sunbane abomination I" and "II" ...

Thanks Deer, I checked out your myspace page..is that you??

Yes, but I'm older and skinnier now...
