First Art from Bran Hambric: The Farfield Curse

April 11th, 2009 at 12:24 am by --KALEB NATION--

I am very pleased to present the first piece of completed artwork from Bran Hambric: The Farfield Curse:

gnome

Gnome by Brandon Dorman; the note courtesy of Photoshop :D

As almost anyone can probably tell, this is a gnome. In fact, it is exactly the way I imagine the gnomes in my world, realized perfectly by illustrative genius Brandon Dorman. This gnome’s got the face, the beard, the eyes: even the perfectly pointed, red conical hat!

While this gnome will most likely not appear on the cover of the book (in fact, I’m fairly certain it won’t) it could be anywhere else, like on the back or the spine, or maybe even inside. Again, this is NOT THE COVER OF THE BOOK, but it’s a wonderful piece of spot art nonetheless!

And as for other big things happening…I think everyone might want to check out BranHambric.com right about now :D

Question for the comments: What do you think of the gnome art from Brandon Dorman?

    Looking at this image, I can see myself sitting in front of a fireplace, sipping a cup of tea, listening to stories that he quietly whispers, completely wrapped within his verbal images... Very nice.

    That's so great! More profesional and relastic than I thought, but, yes, it's absolutley amazing.

    I think you should really put this knome somewhere special, where everyone can see. It really really represents you! Complicated to explain. But, yes.
