Bump. For the benefit of our many new folks who may not have experienced Mr Simonetti's (kemar's) brilliance. Start from the beginning, there's only a few more left to do, can't wait for his 2013 calendar.

damn i had expected some new pictures off kemar

 

[DaveC]

Oh well, if it has that effect on everyone it'll stay near the top.

Those covers are absolutely brilliant. Love every single one of them. Do I dare to say it... aah well but just as well do it. They're better than Kirby's as covers. Josh makes illustrations, not covers (and we all agree they are superior as illustrations).

In regards to the Maskerade cover, is it just me, or is it an allusion to Rafael's The school of Athens? With Granny pointing up? If so, then it's a terrific comparison: Granny/Nanny as Plato/Aristotle. Two completely different ways of handling the witchcraft, no?

Impossible to pick a favourite... Next time I'm in France, I'll make sure to buy one! (with the bonus of practising my fantastic french... ahum). Can't wait for Hogfather!

Chapeau!!

Thanks all!

Tristan, you nailed it! In fact when I started the maskerade cover my wife was pregnant, and we had a new born called Raphael before I finished it... That's where the idea comes from originally...

A new one: The wee free men!

Fabulous!

I love the way you've captured a wildness to the Feegles that I think is missing to a degree in other illustrations I have seen of them.

 

[kemar]

Ahah thanks,

I just took a photoshot of our president Sarkosy as a reference for the aggressive feeling, he truly has everything needed to be a good Mc Feegle :]

Mel Gibson in braveheart too, but he's a good actor.

He's about the same height too!

Well there we'll have to agree to disagree.

 

[kemar]

a good yelling actor?

Actually, his Hamlet I remember thinking was very good. Shame he's so wierd and unpleasant.

Great pic of the feegles

 

[DaveC]

Awesome!

Is that the mouse bagpipes near the top right corner?

 

[kemar]

It is!
Dotsie, I do agree with that.

 

[Sjoerd3000]

Very good! I like it!

 

[Tonyblack]

Just realised that's a frying pan next to Tiffant's head.

 

[Penfold]

Stunning work again Kemar.

Pity there was not "Electric Soup" at the top of the label on the bottle as that is what it's colloquially called.

Still very good though but the pointed teeth need filing down looks a bit too Vampire-ish. The book in the bottom R.H. corner is it Snuff because it looks like a porthole on the cover.

The French version of Jolly Sailor I suspect.
