The MageStorm trilogy, look in the back leaf at picture of Larry and Misty,
 compare the picture of Larry to his drawings of the above characters.  Do

Ok Ok I just had to put in my 2 cents on this one.  I really don't like
most of his pictures.  His EARLY Companion Pic's are the Worst,(their heads
to short for their necks, they look pissed off, etc.) but I will admit that
they seem to be getting better.  One thing that drives me crazy however is
that in WofFate he has drawn the Gryphons' hands as human hands, and
everywhere else they look more like clawed talons.

As to pictures looking like people, I always thought that the picture in
WofC at the beginning of Chap.15, Darkwind looks like Marc Singer, and
Elspeth looks like Linda Hamilton. IMHO

I will say this for him, He can draw people better than I can, but then
again I am more of an impressionist artist.

As to the Jode Lee Cover art, Why did they not let her do all of the pic's?
 That way at least the pictures of Altra would agree.  Is he a Persian or a
Short haired Orange Tabby with face mask?  Just wondering.

I'm just checking to make sure the message gets through.  I've had tons of trouble.  Oh well, at least I know how to turn the computer on.

PEACE,
