Character portrait (RotE Spoilers)

[Atthis]

I also see some elements of Chade in that painting, especially in the upper part of the face.

And as for your cricketer, Farseer, I see no resemblance to Kennit at all. Sorry. No wait, I just looked at a different photo and I will concede that his eyes are actually quite Kennit-like. But just the eyes - not even the eyebrows. Isn't it funny how the same character can be imagined in so many different ways by different people?

Are you familiar with the artwork of surrealist painter Remedios Varo? To me there's something incredibly "elderling-esque" about her paintings. I've also found reminders of various other elements of the Realm of the Elderlings in various paintings of hers. There's even a one of a castle on a cliff (with dragons, no less!) that sort of brings Buckkeep to mind. I've been meaning to post a link to her paintings here, but there are just so many sites to choose from that it's almost easier to google-images the artist. Well, to be truthful, maybe the fact that I don't know how to post a link on these forums has a little bit to do with it.
