That is a really good interpretation of the hound. Kind of rottweiler'ish, rather than pitbull. I like it.

Re: Steven Erikson, George R.R. Martin, Roger Zelazny

Awesome picture. A little confusing though, is the hound really taller than Shadowthrone, or is it just the perspective?

We took some liberties as it is only a sketch, but in the actual graphic adaptation it will be the size of a mule

Re: Steven Erikson, George R.R. Martin, Roger Zelazny

Great, this hound.


I love G.R.R. Martin, but I voted for Zelazny.

As for Erikson, I'm beginning Gardens. My first impression: good, very good, but not in the same division than the other two. Less depth than in Martin; nothing to do with Zelazny's style and humour.

But we are talking graphism, here, not style, aren't we?

Can we see more? (And I hope that the Amber cycle is an ongoing project...)

The Hound... I don't know, it just doesn't seem quite right to me. Perhaps it's because I have my own 'image' of the hounds...

It is well drawn though

Re: Steven Erikson, George R.R. Martin, Roger Zelazny

Thank you all for taking the time to vote, and I'm really happy that you really like what you see. Thanks and I really appreciate your help

Giovanna my friend, in Malazan, you don't really get what it is truly happening until book three and by then you are so immersed into the book you just can't stop, lol But you are right, he is a completely different writer than Mr. Martin and Mr. Zelazny

Re: Steven Erikson, George R.R. Martin, Roger Zelazny

Why would anyone pick Wild Cards out of all the wonderful things GRRM has written? Hardly typical of his writing.

Re: Steven Erikson, George R.R. Martin, Roger Zelazny

Love the sketches and art, really well done and yes the Hounds of Shadow I always thought of as being REALLY BIG! The only Hound being compared in size would be Lady Envy's pet Garath, which I think is even larger then the Hounds of Shadow, or at least it had the ability to become larger when the need presented itself.

Also I dont understand when you put Ericksons Malazan books into the pol and not GRRM's A song of Ice and Fire series, which I think is much more comparable. Anyway I never voted because of that....

Re: Steven Erikson, George R.R. Martin, Roger Zelazny

I think this poll was biased against GRRM. They chose something nto even written by GRRM to represent him in order to bolster support for Erikson. Obviously he couldn't win in a fair contest, but I just wanted it to be noted that I am on to your duplicity.

Re: Steven Erikson, George R.R. Martin, Roger Zelazny

Or possibly because they already do aSoIaF comics, and don't really need a vote on it


But yes, duplicity too...
