SciFi and Fantasy Art The Farseer: Fool by Maija Pietikäinen


	My favourite character in Robin Hobb's books. I tried to pay special attention to different textures. I hope it looks realistic enough. [pencil, A3]

8 Dec 2006	Liz	Loading... He is perfect!!!!!!! He's my favorite character too! And I've tried so hard to draw him but I can never quite capture it! MAN! This is awesome!
22 Dec 2006	Sannah	Loading... Huh Talking to much, but i hink this is a wonderful picture. His motleys are perfect just as i pictured (i'm so awful at clothes and you are great), his expression is magnificent. I think it's his proportions that surprised me. I think of him as more waiflike. But i do think that you have captured beloved here.
22 Dec 2006	Sannah	Loading... How odd. I love him dearly. He looks wonderfully like the fool, and yet not at all how i pictured him. The two things you have drawn the same as mine are his mouth (exactly the same!) and ratsy. Mind you i drew him looking about six years old. I must add my pictures. But i'm a coward.
6 Apr 2007	Anna Olender	Loading... i just keep coming back to this picture and reveling in it i love that little smirk and the questionable gender, it's all in the face, it's simply amazing. the more i look, the more i want to drop everything and draw - you're quite an inspiration!!
3 Feb 2008	Lemurkat	Loading... Absolutely beautiful rendition.
24 Mar 2008	Cap’n AJ	Loading... hmmm...the rat on his stick reminds me of the pide piper of hamlin...
5 Apr 2008	Pehico	Loading... Again... I can only be impressed by your hard work. I’ve already tried to draw, and I don’t even have the tiny bit of your splendid talent! I must say that of all your draws, this one is without a doubt my favorite, for multiples reasons. First, the pencil line is so fluide... It looks natural. And then, the Fool is my favorite character
9 Dec 2008	Gen saguros	Loading... wow.. the Fool and Ratsy! nice!
20 Feb 2009	SiehYean Kiew	Loading... i absolutely love this! came across it couple of years ago, i think, and then lost it... you’ve captured the Fool just the way I thought he’d look (well, maybe in my head his hair wasn’t quite that... big) right down to the mischief in his eyes. You can really tell in this picture that he’s very fair/pale, and I really like the textures and suggestions of different colours you created by your use of shades of black and grey and white. Absolutely brilliant, i say. salutes
26 Apr 2009	Nataly	Loading... I remember seeing this a couple of years ago, and wow, what a coincidence! Just finished reading the Tawny Man trilogy, I was looking for fan art and ran in to this again =D This isn’t how I pictured the Fool, but then everyone pictures him slightly differently >.< it is very nice though
