I don't know the fandom, but this is great! I love the linework, it's so full of motion, even though the characters themselves aren't really moving much. And the dog looks so happy and doggyish. :) The border is also very lovely. Great job!

Don't know the fandom, but this is fantastic! Love the details in the clothes and border and all the life captured in the dog and in their faces. :D Your style is so much fun!

I don't know who Hapio is, but his expression is delightful -- and I love the border!

*FLAILS* Oh, anonymous artist, I'm grinning so hard right now! You gave me DEATH GATE! You gave me Alfred, Haplo, and DOG! This is just so awesome -- I think my favorite bit is Haplo's annoyed I DO NOT KNOW THESE IDIOTS expression, but it's just all completely amazing. You got the white bits at the ends of Haplo's hair! And Dog with his pricked ears and fluffy tail ... it always bothered me a bit that the Dog in the illustrations in the actual books looked nothing at all like the way that he was described, but this is just perfect ...

and OH! Those are the four elements in the border, aren't they? I just noticed that; how very cool!

I love your inking style, too -- it's so loose and fluid and vivid, and the characters' body language is so expressive. eeee, Death Gate art for ME! *LOVES*

Hee, that's adorable! Hee, Haplo, with Dog & his wagging tail around, that stoic face ain't fooling nobody. Love the 4-elements border, too.

Wow, this looks gorgeous!

So awesome! I do not know the fandom at all, but love the style and their expressions :-) The frame around the image adds a lot.

Oh my gosh, it's been a long time since I read (or even thought about) the Death Gate cycle. This brought back a rush of nostalgia to me!

Wow! Great detail and style. Almost looks like a woodcut.

Aww, good doggy! Very nice job on the inking. I love the details of the wrinkles in the clothing and the ruffs in the dog's fur.

This is awesome! I love the detail/folds in the clothes and the expression of the man on the right, very cool!

Ooh, lovely; I really like your style, particularly their faces, and the carefully balanced level of detail. The dude on the right looks so marvelously severe! The dog is just plain adorable, too.

I haven't heard of the fandom but that is one primo happy dog right there! TOO CUTE. And I just adore the stoic!dude's pissy expression and outfit (those boots!) :DD

OMFG DEATH GATE CYCLE FANART I CAN'T EVEN. ALFRED AND HAPLO AND DOG THEY ARE ALL SO PERFECT. I loooove the way you drew them, especially Alfred. That put-upon hangdog face, except he can't help but smile when Dog is so happy to see him. And AHAHA Haplo is all trying to be nonchalant but really he's all "I want in!" Looove how you drew Haplo's cocked-hip stance, it's so aggressive and Haplo-ish and Alfred with his weird old-fashioned clothing and just ksjdfhkajfhaksdfj I wanna roll all over this art, I love it so much!

Nice linework. Very very nice!
