*******************************************************

... gosh I was looking at the calendar today and thought, oh no I missed it! But thankfully Portland is just a few hours the other way around across the dateline, so there it would still be yesterday, so to speak.

I wish I could produce a newly finished image on the occasion... but I promise, at least, to spend a little time today working on that Courtyard of Roke image, which looks to me, now, like it is ALMOST finished ... just a little light and shade to add in here and there. Given the topic and the author, one ought to get *that* right.

Instead, I've gone and found a few illustrations of Ursula Le Guin's work by other Deviants:

First of all, there is ~DappleHack's wonderful recent series of illustrations for "The Left Hand of Darkness". Apparently they are part of a show in uhm - Moscow? Or St Petersburg? organized in honour of the significant birthday, which is pretty cool - I wish I was there!



Then there is ~Kasienka444's stark expressionist take on "A Wizard of Earthsea: (I think I've already featured those some while ago but I really like them, so I'll feature them again.



... and here is a selection of other images that caught my attention. By far the largest stack of illustrations here on DA are for the Earthsea stories (lots of them fan art based on the anime or tv versions, not the books) which is almost a bit sad - I wish there was more work done for her other writings, especially the Science Fiction books! I've done my best to find some. Oh well - I suppose there is a task. :)



And I still think these two little flash animations are the coolest: :D
(though this one was cooler when it had music, where is that version gone?)

Your Earthsea illustrations are the most awesome thing ever. Actually, your art in general is awesome. I'll be keeping an eye on your work.
