Artist's Comments

Damn, I'm on a roll I guess. Anyway, here's my depiction of Calydor, Jan's father from "Birth of the Firebringer Trilogy". I've seen a lot of drawings of Calydor, and I always find that he's done with white flecks all over his body, like a roan. But if u read the description carefully in the third book, he's described as indigo, with three pale pasterns, silver mane, hooves and horn. The white hoary flecks start at his muzzle, run up over one eye, curve down his neck and spread out a bit, curve over his shoulder so they diagnally cross over his back and run down the opposite flank......so he's not flecked like a roan. I'm NOT BASHING ANYONES DRAWING.....I myself just happen to be a perfectionist and won't settle until it's right in my mind. Anyway, I'm very pleased with this one...I think I shall try Daag next.

Ditto about the markings, I love it when people go overboard on the accuracy ^_~

It just means all those die-hard fans arent really truely closely reading those books they love so much. Not bashing anyone either here. Great job. :glomp: You actually made me do a double take and go look in the book again. I drew one of Calydor with nothing but roan style.. now im ashamed. ;)

Wonderful drawing. I love his beard and feathering.

Hmm, I thought Korr was Jan's father... Well, I'm only through the first book so far, maybe there's something later on that I'm missing.

Great attention to detail! I always thought of him as more of an appaloosa with a unique pattern than a roan.
