The Book of Three

I have been reading Lloyd Alexander's The Book of Three recently and it makes me wonder about the Disney Black Cauldron film that 'could have been.' The book series is really quite good and the characters very charming, it all calls out for a movie adaptation. Hopefully some film maker will do this imaginary world justice someday, in the meantime it's a nice read. Anyway... here is my take on Taran the Assistant Pig Keeper, Eilonwy (the chatterbox) and Gurgi.

These were my some of my favorite books growing up. This is a great take on the characters, and just like Stephen, this makes me want to read them again.

Great stuff.

I remember seeing this at the theater, and getting the comicbook for it afterward. Still have the comic and look at it from time to time.

I'll have to check out "The Book of Three" based on this post. It must be cool. Hopefully my son will like it.

How about a Horned King?

Thanks everyone! I felt that this sketch looked a lot like my friend Michelle Gorski's characters :)

I haven't read the Chronicles of Amber... I'll have to give it a look see...

I love your Gurgi! It's much better than the Disney version. Looks like great sketches to start the movies from.
