I hope we don't get too much concept art. Gotta hate when the picture in your head isn't what the author imagined or his slave artists imagined. I much prefer to be surprised that my images of characters/settings are wrong AFTER I have read the book, rather then be forced to picture it the artists way.

 ??? I think I confused myself again  ???

I don't know who's seen what or when, but Isaac's work looks tight as hell, doesn't it? I really dig the symbols.

Anyone can follow my regular work, such as it is, through DeviantArt. I try to post at least something every couple weeks. Lately I've been working on a graphic novel for Humouring the Fates, the production studio through which I contract as an animator/designer.

I love the designs!  They're so intricate.  And to think he pulled the "language" AFTER, not the other way around.  (I couldn't do it.)
"The custom of royalty in referring to oneself is to naturally employ the royal 'we'.  We are very happy, we are very sad, we are bored and suffer from ennui.  For a royal prince there's no such word as 'me', It's always 'we'.  So rightfully I should be two or three, don't you agree?"

One thing I remember them mentioning at the signing recently is that with the art for KINGS, their goal is to help convey concepts and help paint the picture, but to have a clear goal of not showing any of the characters and such, since those are things that the reader should picture in their mind.

The example he gave was if on a page they mention a particular painting or scroll that is important to the story, on the subsequent page his goal is to have a picture of said object.

It all sounds pretty awesome to me. :)

For those of you who didn't see, there will be a teaser for WoK in the back of the WB paper back which comes out the end of March.

Brandon has read the first half of the prologue at several signings throughout this year. I'm not sure he's read the second half. But the whole thing will be in the back of Warbreaker. (Though he may also be adding an earlier prologue in the final book.) Most people who have read it say it is kickawesome.
All Saiyuki fans should check out Dazzle! Emotionally wrenching action-adventure and quirky humor! (At least read chapter 6 and tell me if you're not hooked.) Volume 10 out now!

Is the earlier one the one with Szeth?  If so I would be inclined to agree.

The one he's been reading, and the one in the back of Warbreaker, is the one with Szeth.

Yes.  It is kickawesome.  The Szeth sections are some of the best in the novel.  You will all see.  I'm done teasing...for now.
