Do you frequent the Art Board ? If so, you'll be very familiar with the spectacular art both, Dolmen and Corporal Nobbs come up with.

Recently, Dolmen posted a new image which got us talking about how he is amazing at depicting movement and we established that CN is his counter part when it comes to depicting sombre/still scenes. Well, I have been talking them into doing a collaboration and this is where you come in.

The two artists are looking for ideas. Scenes from the books which have both, movement as well as a sombre/still aspect. Can you think of some?

[Andorion]

This requires some thought, but of the top of my head, Itkovian and the Imass, while Gruntle and the Grey Swords charge the K'chain Chemalle in MoI

I don't know if this can done, but Kallor stabbing Whiskeyjack while Korlat stares in shock

From GotM as Rake and the Andii mage assassins swoop down Pearl tells QB he is going to die.

The huge Soletaken bear (forgot his name) is taken by the Azath and Icarium and Mappo are distressed DG.

Working on this.

If you want to take a look at some of CN and Dolmen's creations to inspire you, I have now categorized all the images on the Wiki by artists.

Ruthan marching into the naruk all iced out like a glass of tea.

The last rush of the Seguleh as the Moranth drop the munitions

Yil/Dancer vs naruk

TTY refusing Tool

QB taking on the sisters/or throwing s. Ruin out of Lether

Kalams last stand in Malaz city.

Gruntles fight Vs the K'Chain

Karsa talking things over with the Malazan army after the whirlwind

The watch walking the shore after finding the Hust sword

The new gods and rakes scene in Dragnipur.

[Egwene]

Ooooohhhh.... I like the 'Ruthan marching into the naruk all iced out like a glass of tea' idea.

That scene has so many different factions... the Nah'ruk and Ruthan of course but at the same time, Keneb riding after him, the soldiers in the trench putting their heads above the trenches and some not getting them down again fast enough. That moment when everything seems to be happening all at once, but at the same time, there are a lot of soldiers who are keeping still, waiting for their orders....

Yes, that's definitely a scene of epic proportions!

Just finished the book. That scene would be awesome. Next few chapters have a lot that would be awesome.

The Burned Tears calvary charge into the Nahruk would be awesome.

QB crushing then getting buried.

The K chain showing up with their basically two legions being led by the new shield and sword humans

Next Book

First few chapter

Calm i think stabbing the Crippled God

The watch again on the shore seeing the angry faces on the other side.

[worry]

Ewok dance party at the end of Reaper's Gale.

[Enaglio]

Silchas Ruin being driven out of Lether by the bridgeburners. Wounded dragon flying away while the silent and unmoving BB's watch on.

The fight at the gate(s) where everyone is down except Silchas and Trull.

[Dadding]

There's some really interesting stuff in TTH when Hood materializes and goes for a little jaunt and people just start dying in all sorts of ways around him. Plenty of movement potential there, and you know, death and somber stuff too.

Thanks for the suggestions!

This scene sorta exists (minus the Karsa):

http://slaine69.devi...%2F4271211&qo=8

http://malazan-art-g...2F2847975&qo=30

We can still do it, just saying its covered ground and props to Grim and Slaine/Onrack.

(for the record, yes it was at a time when several of us hadn't picked up on Traveller being Dal Honese. Ah youth.)


There are several others already attempted by other artists but as we want to give it a go from a unique perspective I Don't see much problem tackling any of the scenes mentioned above.
(Save the few CN's already done or working on.) The only scene I'm still scratching my head over is Draconus re-entering Wu. Thats still on the cards. Just distant...very very distant.

Thanks for the ideas though!

Personally I'm leaning towards:


Spinnock's speech at Lightfall

The last rush of the Seguleh as the Moranth drop the munitions

Silchas Ruin being stabbed in the back by Scabandari Bloodeye, with the Tiste Edur massacre of the Tiste Andii in the background

That last one especially since further on you read how the two meet again. So much feels bro . Possibly a scene worth adding to the list.

Ah yes...Hoods patented Deathwalk. Morbid as hell. You're taking Somber right up to 11 Dadding. You'll be quotin Hamlet next.

Should have known... the Malazan Empire... just another Shakespeare rip-off

Hey now, to be fair, Hood spares the life of that guard with heart problems to start the whole thing out. That's pretty hopeful and non-somber. Don't see Shakespeare doing that in Macbeth now do you?

Yea i love this idea, i feel like it gets forgotten in the mix of so many powerful moments. The malazans reaction is strong.
