SciFi & Fantasy Art / Gallery 1 of 885 / Alton Lawson / Picture 3 of 37 / Catti Brie

SciFi and Fantasy Art Catti Brie by Alton Lawson

Fantasy illustration of MY version of Catti Brie from R.A. Salvatores Forgotten Realms books starring Drizzt the Dark Elf.
You will notice her equipment consists of a magical bow with a glowing string and glowing arrow. It is obviously NOT on fire because it glows all the way past her fingers.
The inspired character is from books that take place in the TSR world of Forgotten Realms, a campaign world of Dungeons and Dragons.

17 Apr 2006	Koimizu	Loading... finds it incredibly saddening that instead of seeing a beautiful Ranger or Huntress, those who view this chose to impress upon the unnamed young woman the name and history of another that they feel she simply Must be. Pardon please Mr. Lawson, but does this young woman have a name and world or simply a figure of inspiration from the Forgotten Realm? Alton Lawson replies: "Alas, I am afraid I simply was inspired by the works of R.A. Salvatore and the Forgotten Realms of D&D to do some of his characters with my variation. As an artist at previous times paid by WOTC to do works for D&D I felt no shame in doing images I felt were inspired by but not manditorily made to the literary description of the author. I have seen many variations and felt that I was not unwarranted at trying my hand at an inspired version of his characters. I do want to redo the hair to make it more curly and obviously red but other than that I was very pleased with the work.Thank you for the time and observations."
1 Aug 2006	Anonymous	Loading... I agree with every body else it isnt quit cattie brie u know but i say it really good.
26 Sep 2006	Alton Lawson	Loading... So the Glowing Bowstring and Arrow are Not Fantasy enough???Or is it the Fantasy style armour that exists NOWHERE IN THE WORLD that I designed for a WOMAN??? WTF??????? Are you freaking out of your minds? What is the current definition of Fantasy??? By the way I think R.A. Salvatore and TSR might disagree with your assessment that his characters are not fantasy. Whatever. Since no one can contact the lofty ERB folks to ask any questions like this I guess it goes. What about the other two versions I have on the page? Are they somehow different???
27 Sep 2006	Anonymous	Loading... Well my friend. It would appear that the Name is the reason someone's dislike of this image and probable ERB feltch requests. Perhaps you should have drawn a Cheese wheel with a pointy hat and called it Gandalf Brie?
19 Apr 2007	Anonymous	Loading... I'd do her in a heartbeat, whether or not she was cattie-brie Good job!
23 Sep 2007	JOE MAN	Loading... Excellent representation...I loved it...Great inspiration my friend....It is not easy to visualize only from reading salvatore's books....
7 Apr 2008	Abdurragmaan Everxian Bassadien	Loading... i loved the trilogies written of in Forgotten Realms and D&D (played d&d too) liked the pic generally, except as pointed out (blah blah blah yawn monotonous) not the face of Catti that i envisioned. but as a useless artist, i can only bow in respect at the art.
23 Apr 2008	Gee	Loading... when you write things you shouldent shout at people.
10 Aug 2008	Altonlawson	Loading... Actually the yelling was at the ever wise ERB. Not the audience but that was necessary for the description to make a strong point they were having a hard time understanding.
25 Oct 2009	Anonymous	Loading... OMG I love Drizzit books! Go Forgotton realms!!!!!!!
