Heroes of Mossflower
Into digitally coloured works, at last!
After reading Mossflower again, I had the muse on me to draw Martin the Warrior and his friends again, since my way of imagining them had changed – matured, you might say – since the last time I drew them. I tried to stick with Brian Jacques’ various descriptions as closely as I could.
The ancient runes on the sword, were actually inspired by Lord of the Rings. I cannot deny it.
Jacques never specifically described what moles wear, but I’d imagine it to be reds and browns, like the soil itself. Since they spend a lot of time digging, moles aren’t going to waste their efforts on appearances.
BTW, in my personal research on animals, moles are actually slightly bigger than mice – not smaller.
