Thanks Travis. And I agree, that arm is weird. I wouldn't draw it that way now. The position is just so awkward. Thanks for the comments. :)

Good God, Shannon!
You've illustrated at least 80% of the pictures on that site. Amazing job. Hope you upload some more here, for our worshiping.
Best regards

Thanks Robert!

Yeah, Daniel and I put a lot of work into that over the years. He created and wrote most of everything on the site. I've done most of the artwork, but my friend Ben [link] contributed quite a bit as well.

Yeah, great work it is.
IronHenry he kick ass. I've a watch on him to.

I thought the Ogra look like I imagine the Trollocs in Robert Jordan's "the Wheel of Time" books. Not that it resembles Jordan's vision though. But you've got my image of Jordan's Trollocs on paper and made a different race. Conclusion: When I read Trollocs, I imagined Ogras.
Such a cool piece.
Thanks, man.

WOW! Thank you my friend! I'm honored. It's awesome to think that you imagine my characters as you read an author's work. That really makes my day! :)

BTW, I've never read Robert Jordan. I've always been curious about his work, but I don't know where to start with him. What would be a good book to read for someone who's new to his work?

Well, his work consists almost exclusively of the WOT- (Wheel of time)series, that isn't finished yet, and of the prequel "New Spring". He have also written a Conan book. Don't really know where in the tales or Conan Jordan's version is placed.
I like the WOT, but I think it's way to long. If you don't get intimidated by a book over 10000 pages long and still not finished, I can recommend it. Many interesting creatures (I especially love the grey men, can't tell you about them 'cos when I'll ruin a great detail in the books), tales, twists and characters (though the women are not that colorful). Read the first book and see if you like it.

My favorite modern fantasy novels is Robin Hobb's "The Farseer Trilogy" [link] , haven't read the other trilogies.

Have a good time reading
Best regards
Robert

Thanks for the info! I'll check those out. I'm particularly curious about "The Farseer Trilogy." :D

Are you familiar with Dennis McKiernan? If not, I'd recommend starting with his "Iron Tower Trilogy."
