The Fool. Who is like now one of my favorite characters of all time. He is amazing. I don't know how Hobb does it, but the Fool is very enigmatic, ethereal and confusingly beautiful, while also at the same time being completely human, with human faults and issues and feelings... UGH!!! So amazing. His only strengths are really in his razor-sharp tongue and wit, and that's all he has to protect him from the world.
The Fool as his appearance in the Tawny Man books - Lord Golden, spoiled and decadent nobleman. Another facet of an enigmatic character, one very necessary.
Some sketches - Fool as Prophet, some Fitzes (I like the one on the left the best!) and a possible Prince Verity.
And my favorite XD I'm such a loser. Fitz and the Fool (as Lord Golden), they have a relationship that is beyond anything - beyond love, sex, friendship, romance... all of it. I.. I know how the books end, but I can't accept it, because I think they deserve some peace together. fskjafhslkdj. I like how it turned out, a LOT, and I hope to eventually do a nicer Fitz/Fool picture. GEEEEEEE.
EDIT:
My attempt to give it some color. Painter and Pshop. I'm so embarassed at how dorked out I am over these books and THESE TWO, especially the Fool. D8 sobsob
I need to rant about the books for a bit, and I can't think of any better place for it, because no one reads this really, so I feel more comfortable just blabbing stuff XD
I knew already I was getting somewhat emotionally wound up in these books from the start, and now that I'm near the end, my mind has been totally taken over! I haven't had THIS feeling in such a long time, though it is both a blessing and an annoyance - I can't even think straight about other stuff, but it gives me a sort of delight and joy. Though I think the ending will disappoint me greatly... ._.
Oh well, in my own mind I can make up what I wish to see happen eventually. It's kind of weird how much I'm being fangirly about this XP It's embarassing but pleasant. I might have to re-read the two series. I might read the Liveship Traders books just get a bit more Fool in my life, even if he appears as someone totally different.
I wish I could create a character so wonderful. I wish my own characters could sometimes spark these feelings in me :[
Summary: I'm NUTS!! And kind of obsessed. There will be more art of them soon, I promise~!

Just thought I'd let you know that i'm just as nuts as you are when it comes to Fitz and the Fool!
I've just finished The Fool's Fate in tears.
I, too have been obsessed with them, and wish they could have had more time together.
The Fool's poem is simply beautiful.

Katya,
You have a wonderful talent and I thank you for applying it to giving me such a sharp image of my favorite characters!
I share your addiction to Fitz and Fool and I think my disappointment of the end of their captivating story excceeds yours. I feel a fool myself for caring so much and not being able to just give it up and move on. I find myself absolutely incapable of accepting an author's point of view which never happened to me with any other book. Anyway, your works are wonderful and I'll never imagine neither Fitz nor Fool as anything other then your creations. And since I think of them all the time, it's a lot of imagining...
If you want to chat you can send me a message to allariel2000@yahoo.com.
Cheers,
Alla
