Attolia + Attolis
A few sketches of Gen from Queen’s Thief to ring in the new year!
Useless the Elder and Useless the Younger
(Assuming Sophos is probably the palest since he’s an aristocrat and a scholar)
quick sketch of the Queen of Eddis and the Queen of Attolia
Opening scene in The Thief.
So I got halfway through A Conspiracy of Kings on the plane ride to VA and asldfhalkjl Sophos. I love him. Megan Whalen Turner’s descriptions are almost nonexistent though, so I was wondering whether you guys could help me out? I got the vague impression that he’s fair-haired and kind of a big guy but aside from that I kind of have no idea what he looks like, his clothing, his skin tone, nothing. Anything would be helpful!
Anonymous asked: Have you read the whole queen's thief series? I am starting with queen of attolia because i heard it was amazing, but should i read first one before that? also i would love to see your interpretations of gen, attolia, and eddis!
Yes, The Thief is wonderful! I’d actually start with that (unless you’ve already started with Queen of Attolia…) because it’s got a plot twist that is spoiled in the later books, and it’s quite cleverly done. I’ve read the first three books of the series, have yet to get to A Conspiracy of Kings (probably because Sounis doesn’t interest me as much as Eugenides does haha;; )
Costis and Eugenides requested by anon
some-more-lightseeds requested the scene from The King of Attolia (book 3 of the Queen’s Thief series by Megan Whalen Turner, which I recommend ‘cause it’s awesome) where Costis is dragged out of bed to get Eugenides down from the parapets. I edited some of the dialogue and pacing and this does not do the scene any justice at all but I did just promise a sketch, not an entire comic, so…
I adore Eugenides/Gen so I’ll try to find time to do a proper tribute in the future :)
