A Conspiracy of Artists
Apr. 9th, 2010 12:08 amSo yesterday-ish Checkers posted a few links, mentioning that on one of them, HaperCollins teased us with a view of Sophos's face before covering it over with some banner about Megan Whalen Turner being the author or some such unimportant nonsense.
Well, clearly this was a challenge to me and my print screen button reflexes, as CLEARLY Sophos's face outweighs crediting Megan for hergenius slackerdom. I succeeded on my second try, so I present to you, without further ado, SOPHOS'S FACE:

Discuss.

Bump on da nose = awesome. But really, if I was his father, it wouldn't keep me from not recognizing him
Thaaank you, Jade.

Date: 4/9/10 04:35 am (UTC)I imagine his lip on the other side is really scarred. And maybe his cheek or eye? But this works as the side of his face that's relatively scar free.

She's not slacking, I mean she's doing other important things like knitthing, and surfing, and not matching her socks and not drawing maps well...okay, maybe I've lost my point here, but the point IS I'm sure she'll have her next books flying out within 8 maybe 9 years?
;D

Date: 4/10/10 04:17 am (UTC)This, this, I need to go to this! Um, Toronto. Um, Canada. Um, far away? Oh well!
It looks like there are some pretty darn (hahaha, geddit? darn!) beautiful socks there! Unfortunately, they look like they mostly match. Which means I definitely need to go there and FREE THEM!

Date: 4/9/10 08:45 am (UTC)This makes me wonder if somewhere out in the wilds of the interwebz there is an uncropped version of the cover to King of Attolia, and maybe even the Queen of Attolia. Maybe we can ask the publisher, or even the artist . . .

Date: 4/9/10 09:12 am (UTC)Thanks for doing this - my computer's too quick for its own good and so I never got the glimpse of Sophos as the page loaded.

(Ignore the foofy hair, it was the 80's. We all do things we regret later.)

Date: 4/9/10 11:40 pm (UTC)O Clever Sounisians, can someone make us a lovely, lovely icon of lovely, lovely Sophos? Sorry Lego!Magus, but you're just not working for me today.

Date: 4/9/10 11:56 pm (UTC)I could make an icon of him, but there are some lovely ones on this comm so I'll leave it to their makers. :-)

3. I imagined him as more average looking and less surfer-boy even before particular, uh, events.
