That isn't how I pictured 'sail. Not bad, just had a picture in my mind of Massah from the Myth series for some reason.

I like the "crazy eyes" look on not-Apsalar. Captures the haunted, possessed get down with your bad self look well.

Not how I pictured Tattersail either.. Too manly/butch.. looks more like my mental picture of nynavae or whatever from WoT

Not wanting to sound like a broken, I have to admit that this was not how I pictured Tattersail as well, but so far this is the direction that Mr. Erikson is taking with her, but we still have a long ways to go and when we see Tattersail within the pages of the adaptations, fully colored and everything, we'll see how she looks then :)

Looks phenomenal! Tattersail does look a bit rougher than I thought she would be, but she does lead a hard life so I think it fits. Everyone else looks great! I am most looking forward to seeing the depictions of Tool and Lorn if the adaption follows the first book.

I think Tattersail looks good. It seems SE was making a point with her character to break the mold of every woman in the genre being breathtakingly beautiful. It fits. If anything, I would have thought she was a little heavier.

yea, i thought she would be more heavyset and buxom while still being cute(which seems to be parans view of her), instead of buff/butch with a "hard" face..

Yeah, I pictured her as most definitely not fitting the "traditional" mold of beauty, but from (C... C... crapola, I can't remember the mage in GotM. And it's one of the books I"m reading at the moment (for the... third? fourth? time? can't remember)) C's and Parans' descriptions I had an image of a buxom, very buxom, woman. Not butch, definitely-- an element of prettiness to her, but definitely heavy-set.

Love Sorry. It's a good combo of teenaged girl, soldier, assassin and am-possessed-by-an-assassin-god-do-NOT-fnck-wit-me.

T'sail i tend to agree with the above - not quite how i pic'd her... thought she'd be a bit plumper and a bit less 'hard' looking. This reminds me of one of RJ's Aes Sedai characters. It works as a default tho'.

Topper works, but could be perhaps a bit more... elegant?

As already noted, the WJ pic is all good.

'Sail looks a bit too like Pat Butcher for my liking :)

really like Sorry. Topper is also great, though I feel that perhaps his... edges should be polished a bit. Making him seem more elegant and pampered. But that's ofc my opinion.

When it comes to Tattersail I agree with the rest. I always imagined her pretty in a roundish, chubby sort of way. Not quite as masculine as that.

Mind you, the art work is nevertheless excellent and you'd hear no complaints from me where you to make it using these drawings :)

Hi my friends, thank you all for your feedbacks and comments, I really appreciate it. Definitely the thing I heard the most was Tattersail being more plump with a cuter face and Topper being more refined. I will keep that in mind. Also please remember that these are not final and a rough sketch is a poor shadow of what is to come :)

I hope ypu don't take these comments to mean that we don't like the pictures. Overall I think they're great. The TS comments were just a small detail. Good job.

Could a mod please sticky this? I know it's not getting much use, but you never know, what with the recent split between DB and Marvel, there may be movement on this front at any time.

Hopefully. :D
