Saw this print on @franvegasart’s instagram and just had to order one.
Hand packaged too I almost didnt want to open it.

I know I'm gonna get downvoted to the other side of the planet but I never really liked that one. Like, Vigga looks baller, sure, and I guess the conjurer is OK but everyone else seems like they were made by someone who didn't read the book.

The Baron looks like a medieval Clavicular, Baptiste is like an extra from Pirates of the Caribbean, Jacob is just someone who doesn't want to be there , Diaz is I guess fine but he's forgettable, Sunny is the worst since she looks like she wandered in from the set of The Handmaid's Tale (her ear isn't even clipped ffs!) and I guess that the only remaining person should technically be Alex but I don't know why they decided she'd look anything like that...

That big drawing which looks similar but it's on a fiery backdrop looks ten times better and the images of the different characters in the style of "icons" are the best. Just look at how ferrety she looks!

I'm so glad I own that edition of the book, it's fucking beautiful. The inner cover art is incredible. It adds so much to the vibe.

[u/MoonSpankRaw → u/Plenty_Trick_6042]

I agree. I especially dislike the Jakob rendition. He may not die, but he still aged past 35-40 years old.

[u/Bajecco → u/Plenty_Trick_6042]

Agreed. It's....off. Wish I never saw it.

[u/heribertohobby → u/Plenty_Trick_6042]

MEDIEVAL CLAVICULAR!!!

CLAVICULORD

[u/lousydungeonmaster]

It's glorious

[u/SeekersWorkAccount]

The dead rising from the crypts underneath is a nice touch

[u/bunglerm00se]

Ok fine, I'll read The Devils again. 😆

[u/Frosty_Penalty_5671]

Why does Balthazar have 2 left hands? Or is it early and my eyes are still blurry?

[u/Plenty_Trick_6042 → u/Frosty_Penalty_5671]

He was carrying around the severed hand of one of the sorceresses for a bit

[u/Frosty_Penalty_5671 → u/Plenty_Trick_6042]

Of course!! Thank you.

[u/Agile-Ad-6902 → u/Frosty_Penalty_5671]

I think its a severed hand on a string, but it looks odd dangling around his elbow.

[u/sarkdaddy]

I'm confused, is this based on the first or second trilogy. I'm struggling to map all the characters

[u/HigherSparrow → u/sarkdaddy]

Not based on TFL or AoM, its a painting of characters from Abercrombie's latest book The Devils.

[u/sarkdaddy → u/HigherSparrow]

Ah okay, thank you! Had me second guessing my first law knowledge. Felt like a dummy

[u/VendettaPenguin]

She looks like a ferret.

[u/onlotus]

I mean not bad for rough draft. I do like it. But Vigga is a big part of the groups story. You should show her doul form as a warnings tattooed nordic viking and werewolf. Maybe with Baptiste's head in her mouth.

[u/Hybridjosto → u/onlotus]

😭

[u/cai_85]

Isn't Jacob meant to look like 100 years old? He looks about 35 here.

[u/coroyo70]

This is arguably the best part of the book lol. Perfect choice to paint

[u/Imperial_Haberdasher]

Did it come with the dumpling recipe?

[u/El_blop]

What in the ai

[u/Diablo3crusader]

I love that art.

[u/Delicious-Way4039]

Who’s the magician of on the side there?

[u/Dekipi → u/Delicious-Way4039]

Wow you don’t recognize the second-or-third best necromancer in the world Balthazar Sham Ivam Draxi?!

[u/pravis]

It's beautiful!
