You're welcome Nixie my friend. Yes, that is Martin Longbow with the deer

Adasunshine · 10th March 2006, 09:39 AM

Sorry Khan, I've been meaning to drop by again and say thanks for these pics - they're great!

Pug is a lot more slender than I imagined him but I think his name gives me that picture! I love Arutha though, almost exactly as I, myself, imagined him - Martin Longbow too!

Keep 'em coming if you can and if you haven't done so already, provide me with a release date, I can't get my partner to read the book but this, he'll read!

Cheers again!

Thank you

The_Khan · 10th March 2006, 05:18 PM

Oh not a problem at all Adasunshine my friend. It will be in April, most likely the end of that month. Yes, Borric does look pretty mean

GhostShell · 12th March 2006, 03:31 PM

Hey khan, i've been a fan of your sketches for some time and now i see that you've found some magician comic stuff.
Are you involved in any way.
i have to say i don't like Tomas's parents much, everyone seems so angry and brutal.

The_Khan · 13th March 2006, 05:18 PM

Ghostshell my friend I'm happy to hear that you like the artwork, and yes we are adapting the Riftwar series and I hope that it will be a wonderful experience for you.
Me, I'm Ernst, the President of Dabel Brothers Productions who puts out these graphic adaptations of our favorite authors. Thank you for your feedback on Tomas's parents. Please if you have any more feedbacks don't hesitate to post them my friend

Here is the sketch of Fantus the firedrake, enjoy

Adasunshine · 13th March 2006, 05:34 PM

I'm liking Fantus and whilst on subject of feedback...

I, too thought Tomas' parents were rather harsh. That never came across in the book, I got the impression that they loved Pug as if he were their own son, just that Megar was a bit hot headed at times!

Fantus is lovely though, I want a Firedrake!!!!

Lissa · 13th March 2006, 05:45 PM

I have to agree with everyone the pictures are wonderful. Also I thought Megar and his wife were a bit angry looking as well as Borric. The book does portray Borric as being stern but with a sense of humor. Looking at the picture again I think it is the eyes more than anything. Hope that is not to presumptuous of me.

The_Khan · 14th March 2006, 04:20 PM

Adasunshine my friend, I'm happy you are liking Fantus. The colorist colored him a beautiful dark green that is absolutely beautiful and his underbelly a soft cream color, it's really nice

You are right Tomas' parents love Pug, you will see this in the future pages

One important factor we had to consider when doing this scene is the comic book fans who never read the novels before and who will be reading this for the first time, I had a handful read the five page preview and they were hooked right off the bat and wanted to read more

Our goal is to bring the comic book fans to the bookstores and at the same time to bring bookstore fans into the comic book stores.

Yeah, I agree having a firedrake would be really cool!

Lissa my friend, I'm happy that you like the art

For Borric once you get to see the pages you will see that he is more stern and less angry. Oh and you will get a bit of humor from him as well

No, it is not presumptuous of you, I encourage feedback from all the fans and that is how we can make this adaptation the best that it can be.

It's good to see the characters authoritatively drawn. I'm not a huge fan of anime or cartoons but definitely interesting to see coloured representations of people that have been in my mind for so long.

The_Khan · 15th March 2006, 05:23 PM

Thanks Nokia my friend, I'm happy that you are enjoying them

Sparrahawk · 17th March 2006, 10:51 AM

Fantastic! You've just converted a die hard fantasy book reader into someone that reads graphic novels. I'd never given graphic novels a second glance as the majority tend to have a sci-fi theme but am delighted to see someone adapting one of my favourite books. Fannon and arutha are exactly as i imagined them when reading the book and the colours are amazing. Thanks Khan.

Fortuna · 17th March 2006, 11:41 PM

Wow! I am blown away by this. Is there any way I can get a copy. More than willing to pay
