For those of you who had a chance to read The Highwayman, you might remember the powrie, those vicious dwarves who soaked their red barret in the blood of their victims. Here is the first sketch, enjoy

Not read the book. Anyone recomend? Also is the dwarf meant to look twig like

[The_Khan]

It's a great book Cause my friend, you should check it out when you get a chance Yes, in The Highwayman the dwarf (aka Powrie) have different proportions than your regular dwarf of fantasy. Their arms and legs are twig-like but still have great strength in them.

Here is Prince Prydae, enjoy

Very nice drawings. For some reason they remind me of Jim lee way back when I still read x-men.

All fantasy should come with illustrations like these, well maybe a bit less fotomodel'y

[The_Khan]

Thanks Apt my friend. The artist who drew these sketches is Brett Booth, I'm not sure if you're familiar with him.

Your wish is my command, and I'll make sure that throughout my lifetime that I will try my very best to give you your illustrations for your fantasy books LOL, you're right the sketches are a bit fotomodel'y, but within the pages of the adaptations the characters will flow very smoothly

dude, the highway man looks cool:)

that dwarf though, was that not on one of your posts for asnother adaptation??? he looks damn familiar!

[The_Khan]

drinksinbars my friend, I'm happy you like the Highwayman, but wait until you see him with colors

No, the dwarf or Powrie is from the Highwayman. R.A. Salvatore described them with thin legs and thin arms, but he explains that despite the look of their arms they have tremendous strength in them. One thing they do is to dip their red bonnet in the blood of their victims. A nasty bunch they are, lol

see, that powrie thing reminded me of the powrie(i think their name is even the same) from Salvatore's stone series. You know, the Demon Awakens, and all that.... Their is 6 of them. I read the first two, and just couldnt bring myself to read the rest, as they seem... poorly thought out and not written very well.

You are correct Obdigore my friend, the powrie dwarf is the same as the one from Salvatore's stone series. The Highwayman is a novel based off of the world. I really enjoyed it very much, and graphically it will be very beautifully rendered
