Artist's Comments

Done for Pixelbrush's "Fan Art Confession" event... Raistlin Majere, a character from the DragonLance Chronicles, and possibly the coolest mage to ever grace the pages of a fantasy series. I grew up reading DragonLance, and I remember trying to redraw the official artwork done by Larry Elmore when I was little.

It's not as polished as the rest of my work, but I wanted to post it here anyway as a little tribute to a book series I still adore. :love:

Real art coming shortly. Honest.

Awesome. I have to agree that Raistlin is the greatest mage to ever grace the pages of a fantasy novel. Then again, I'm partial to powerful neutral-evil characters :P

Very nice, I love Raistlin as well, and oddly enough whenever I listen to System of a Down I always think of him (maybe because I listened to them whenever I read the books).

I like your rendition, odd, I've never imagined the Staff of Magus as having that small of an orb, but it makes sense, hehehe.

Crap on a stick. Lauren, I think that is the most gorgeous rendition of the character I've ever seen. Even compared to Elmore and Caldwell's versions.

Dayam girl. Just...Dayam.

I'm not familiar with the character or series, but I can say that it is an excellent piece of work! Be proud!

Thanks. :) I had the crystal larger at first but it looked a bit top-heavy so I scaled it down.

I have seen the moment of my greatness flicker,
And I have seen the eternal Footman hold my coat, and snicker,
And in short, I was afraid.
