There is entirely not enough Shannara artwork out there. That being said, this would be Quentin Leah from Terry Brooks' Isle Witch, screaming his war cry and fighting off a 'ribbon of fire'. Though I based the Sword of Leah off that in the World of Shannara book, the rest of his design is all me. I've wanted to illustrate this part since I read the book back in 2001, but never got around to/finished it until now. Oops.

Eee...yes...I'm back again *looks around* New artwork I see...

I really like the pose in this one, and the way the background's blurry...but most of all, I like the red beam things. They're just so...GLOWY! *does the glowy things dance*

:-) Erin Nagy replies: "They is 'ribbons of fire' (lasers), made of like a gajillion layers of red lines. Or maybe three. Glad ya like! ^-^"

How dynamic is that?
*_*
The glowy red beam really works for me.

:-) Erin Nagy replies: "I like dynamic poses. ^-^ So when I can pull them off, I like 'em that much more. Thank you!"

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*bright eyes* yay! you are AWESOME!!! Shannara pic! No author except the great Tolkien beats Terry Brooks, and I finally found other artists who realize so (well, or close to that... ^^12
Haha, thank you, you just made my day be soooooooo much better!
vale

:-) Erin Nagy replies: "Oh my, thank you so much! Making someone's day makes my day. ^-^ And eventually, I may post another Shannara pic... just have to get around to sketching out the whole composition and stuff (ie I have one one the go... somewhere...)."

[pauses in realization] Wait... isn't that... fan art? Anyhow, the perspective is well done. 2
RJS

:-) Erin Nagy replies: "Nope. There's this really fine line between fan art and illustration. This is illustrating a part of a book, so it goes here. However, had it been him doing something that didn't happen in the book, then it would go in FanQuarter. I think. Anyway, thanks!"

Very nice! I haven't read Isle Witch, but I have read the Original Trilogy and Heritage, and he looks just like all other Leahs should... and the Sword is perfect. 2

:-) Erin Nagy replies: "Thank you so very much! I'm glad you think so. 2"

Cool. Just read these. Like the way you've done the sword of Leah, Just as Allanon enchanted it, the swirling depths of the Hadeshorn etched on the blade... oooo 2

:-) Erin Nagy replies: "Thanks! I got the hilt from the picture in the World of Shannara book, but the blade was silver, and, I mean, it has to be black with green swirlies... 2 Glad you think it worked out."

I use to hate the leahs. But seeing this, ive changed my mind. i've read all of the shannara books. I think it goes Menion, Rone, Morgan, and Quinten

16 Erin Nagy replies: "How could you hate the Leahs?! SO cool. Anyway, yeah, that's the chronological order (of main Leahs so far)."

I love the dramatic two point perspective you've used coming from the differnet angles of the page. I appreciate the use of compostion it makes drawings more dynamic! Plus I like the over all asthetic quality of the chracter...keep up the good work!

:-) Erin Nagy replies: "Thank you very much!"
