Artist's Comments

Finally got a sketchbook :w00t:

mmmmmk, so after reading this series, the Abarat, for like...the third time, I was inspired to do some quick fanart. Clive Barker, the author, does his own paintings for the books and uses them as the books' illustrations (which really help with visualizing what goes on). It's a great series and a fun read; plus, Disney has the rights to the movie! Which I hope will be animated. Just because it's easier to have the perfect voice for the animation, than to try and find someone who has the voice and the looks for the characters if it was a live-action movie.

Sooo yah. My version of the characters are more comicbook-esque; how I imagine them to be in my own style. Attempted to practice my coloring skills (which aren't always terrific...). And drawing skills too...some parts look a bit wonky, but hey! Practice makes perfect :D

But again, the series is highly recommendable for good reading. The characters, the plot, the art...all very good.

Okey, enough ranting, more drawing.


:heart:

Everything belongs to Clive Barker...except the art...which is mine.

Wow, really awesome! I love Clive Barker, but I would never think any of his work would be looked at by disney, considering some of his more famous work (i.e. Hellraiser). But I'd like to see how that'd turn out. :D Great job again!

For although I feel that I know a tremendous lot, I am not yet aware how much there is in the world to find out about. It will take me a little time to discover whether I am very wise or very foolish.

I love your take on Malingo and John Mischief! It's great to see some Abarat lovin', I can never find anyone who's heard of the books :D
