Geez, I love you. So. Much. I hope you do more BaK stuff. Seriously, I cannot describe how happy this makes me. Let's just say I ritually do searches on all kinds of search engines to see if just maybe anyone's happened to do anything on BaK.
Aw! Thanks! I was actually thinking of making something of a series of mini-comics for the various bits of headcanon I concocted in my current playthrough. I was initially thinking of doing a similar little vignette for each character, but I immediately got stuck on Patrus... as most of my thoughts during this run regarding him have been, "17% Defense!? You make me hate old people!"
Right now I have some vague outlines for a piece about James musing about his origins and Lysle's in the wake of the Upright Man's death and one about Goarth and Cullich's interactions while Owyn's passed out.
Badass Owyn is badass. And I really prefer your version to Feist's novelisation - is it just me, or did that scene kind of reek of desperation in the book, on Feist's part? "Yes, I'll just let the two OC's watch while I remind everyone how awesome Jimmy is, and why they should love Jimmy, by having him beat the villain first in chess and then in swordfighting. Yesss, and then I'll have one of the OC's hit the other by accident for laughs. Then little Jimmy's popularity will be secure! Muahaha!"
...Although I've avoided looking at your art too closely for now, because after I look at it, I'll be back to "OMG there's no new fanart of it to be found" square one. I'm kind of pathetic like that.
Take your time. I was a totally dork and put several minute visual flourishes in that piece that only people obsessively playing BaK would pick up on.
Have you heard of Archive of Our Own, though? (archiveofourown.org) It hosts fanfic and openly and proudly spits on anyone who dares to restrict people's creativity like that. (Though I'm with you on the "Feist doesn't own these guys anyway" rationale.) Just... you know, mentioning. It even has a Riftwar fanfic already, with young Jimmy.
I previously had an account but recently junked it for the sake of getting rid of my primary user name. I ought get back on look into the Midkemia fic there. I was initially on as it was one of the only places I could find a few Ultima fics...
...thinking on it now, it somewhat occurs to me that my zeal for deciphering moredhel might be rooted in my being an obsessive fan of a game series that makes you memorize 1-3 different character sets if you want to read the games' freaking signposts.
