Description
FitzChivalry Farseer and Nighteyes, from the beginning of the Tawny Man Trilogy. In honour of the announcement of Robin Hobb's new book.I initially set out to make a more in depth illustration since I had done the character designs and everything, but in skimming through the books I recalled the beginning of the 2nd trilogy where Fitz is just looking out to sea, reaching for anything that might reach back for him, and the immense openness and loneliness of that part of the book. It seemed appropriate to do something very simple instead.

I really liked this piece.
Now, let go to the in-depth critique...
1.Vision and 2. Originality. This get 4 stars. I like how the artist gives insight in a moment of Fitz's life. I give 4 points to this. It also ties with the 3.5 stars of originality. The reason is: this shows how, in Fitz's life, Nightseye wasn't enough. Oh, he loved his bond-partner, truly and deeply. But he wasn't enough. And this is something very rarely seen in the fandom, and an insightful view in their relationship.
3. Technique. I am, I fear, not an artist myself, so I have little way to understand. For what I can see, I like the stern sparseness of the concept, the clean colour palettes and the little touch (the wisps of air...) that hint of movement in an immoble moment. Very well thought.
4. Impact. 4.5 stars. This deviation hit me deeply, making me thinking again about Fitz and Nightseye, about love and how it, alone, isn't enough. It also shows how, in spite of all his claim of being "content", Fitz was lying to himself all the while.
In short, a very insightful, poingnant work done in a precise, almost scalpel-like, way. Good work e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="

I know this is an old piece, but I just stumbled upon it. Made me teary, thinking about Nighteyes. I love the minimalism. Thanks for sharing this! :')

Ugh Fitz/Tom Badgerlock. In my opinion, the best character of all time. β₯
It still surprises me that she's making another trilogy with the Fool and Fitz just because I don't know how she'd make it work with how Fool's Fate ended, but I hope it will be as wonderful as their first two trilogies ;__;Β

Apparently there was always open ended holes to fill but I suppose that's one of those things you'll notice when we get the next book and go "oh yeah!" or something.

That's very true. I'm a little apprehensive but I hope she blows me away with this new trilogy (;Β

I am TERRIFIED about the new trilogy. RWC was such a disappointment...

That's exactly what I'm concerned about ): I'm afraid she doesn't possess the skills she once did when she wrote Farseer and Tawney Man, and with this being my all time favorite series ever I would hate to see Fitz and the Fool ruined. I'm so glad I'm not the only one that thought that. I know so many people that loved RWC but I hated itΒ

I think it is more about not accepting criticism... She doesn't learn from what other people suggest. This is no good.
I have known many people, myself included, that have stopped reading after Fool's Fate. And, personally, I am very unsure about reading this new book, too. It depends a lot on many things... I am already writing my own headcanon in any case.

It's like when I reread Harry Potter, in book one and two there are plot points that allude to events in books 6 and 7, so first read through (or pre release of later books) these things seem irrelevant, and then you go back now to book 1 and you're like "NO WAY! THAT THING! THAT THING!"
