This looks fantastic, and I mean that wholeheartedly, but you just wrote nonsense in Gnommish, didn't you

Thaldir In reply to CherryBerryB [2012-07-29 08:10:50 +0000 UTC]

Thank you for the appreciation.
No actually that's not 'nonsense', those are the titles of the three novels that compose the volume *in Italian*.

CherryBerryB In reply to Thaldir [2012-07-30 02:53:12 +0000 UTC]

That explains why it seems like nonsense to me then. I'm ashamed to say it, but I'm purely English

Thaldir In reply to CherryBerryB [2012-07-30 20:27:39 +0000 UTC]

Well, maybe one could either read the intro to the piece (you know, where it says: 'Italian' Artemis Fowl omnibus), or try to google the sentence before commenting, having one's language off-handedly called 'rubbish' isn't the nicest experience...

CherryBerryB In reply to Thaldir [2012-07-31 07:18:28 +0000 UTC]

Oh, hey, sorry. I didn't mean to offend. I don't really have a proper excuse for that. I suppose I didn't really connect 'Italian' and the Gnommish words to it. My bad, really.

Ho sempre adorato questa copertina, soprattutto l'espressione di Artemis! E tu l'hai disegnata perfetta!

Thaldir In reply to BeatrixBonnie [2011-12-05 18:28:43 +0000 UTC]

Grazie, quando la Mondadori mi ha assegnato il lavoro conoscevo molto vagamente il personaggio di Artemis, mi sono documentato e ho cercato soprattutto di lasciar trasparire la sua personalitΓ . Sono molto contento che ti piaccia.

BeatrixBonnie In reply to Thaldir [2011-12-06 11:12:33 +0000 UTC]

Credo che tu abbia fatto un ottimo lavoro! Tra l'altro, non avevo inteso che fossi proprio tu l'ideatore del disegno, ma avevo pensato che fossi un appassionato della serie che aveva tentato di riprodurre la copertina. Alla luce di quello che mi hai scritto nella risposta, ho capito come stavano le cose e non posso che rinnovarti i miei complimenti perché da fan quale sono ti assicuro che rispecchia perfettamente il personaggio di Artemis! È semplicemente lui!
Ma, quindi Γ¨ tua anche l'altra copertina, quella che racchiude i primi tre volumi?
Be', sono contentissima di averti potuto fare i complimenti di persona per questo spettacolare lavoro!

Wonderfully painted ! Really beautiful, the colors, Artemis' face, everything, I really like it !!!

There's only ONE thing and that's not about your paint : it's the cover for 'The Arctic Incident' ? O.O If you didn't say it, I probably took this book has 'The Eternity Code' (maybe I'm influenced by the French cover --'), or the first Artemis Fowl book...
