21 May 2002	Norma Peters	Loading... Beautiful! The entire picture is filled with a special grace and elegance. Your color choices are superb. The theme lends itself wonderfully well to this stylized effect.
6 Jul 2002	Emily M. Ranney	Loading... This is a very lovely piece. Is it just me, or does Ged have a beard? I never thought of him that way before, although the books don't say Incidentally, the white robe almost makes him look like (if you don't mind me drawing the comparison), Jesus (which brings up a whole new aspect of the books). Anyway, very nice work!
9 Nov 2003	Ager	Loading... How beautiful!! I love the book and now I love your picture too!! Well done!
20 Nov 2003	Anonymous	Loading... it sucks
11 Jan 2004	Noa Eren	Loading... There is so little Earthsea fanart in the woods... sigh Very pretty and stylish, and reminiscent of the Bantam Books covers (which I've always liked best.) I think, though, that maybe if you toned down the colors a bit, give everything a more grayish look instead of those vibrant colors, it would go better with the atmosphere of the story - age-old myth style, y'know? But it's still great. I cherish every piece of Earthsea fanart I can find.
5 Feb 2004	The Eternal Grunt	Loading... As far as technique goes, this is a lively, nice picture. My compliments on the vibrant colours and the bold, clean work. Now, with a bit of nitpicking: The people of Earthsea are described as dark-skinned and beardless. Nemmerle, who is described as bearded, was a man from Osskil. Osskil and O were invaded by Kargs, and thus the people there had Kargish features, such as beards and light skin. Perhaps you weren't aware of that (hell, I've pictured Aihal as bearded, too...). But, that's nitpicking, so... Keep up with the good work.
18 Dec 2004	Anonymous	Loading... Umm... in A Wizard of Earthsea, I thought it described Ged as having black/brown skin... Good otherwise.
19 Jul 2005	Valiantstale	Loading... Thats looking great! Unfortunately, my search for earthsea fanart is scarce, but im hoping when the books are presented properly in movies, things will change for the better.
4 Dec 2005	Anonymous	Loading... First of all , the Dragon (ofPendor) was behind a tower, not some crapyas*s mountain. Second of all ur dumb, cause the dragon had"grey-black scales" its in the book u dumb-bumn
28 Jun 2006	Anonymous	Loading... Its beautiful. Dragons are really hard to draw. You did an excellent job. Now I must say that you have the right to make the dragon any color. Despite what others might say you have this right. It's called a poetic/artistic liscence. It's obvious to me that you were really inspired by these novels. This picture really captures the essence of Earthsea. Keep up the good work!
