Art by Fans
The fan art just keeps accumulating so Peat wanted me to post some of it, so that everyone can enjoy the awesomeness.
The first piece is a little different than usual. Birte actually composed some music inspired by the books. Here are her own words explaining it.
About a year ago, I read “The Painted Man”. The story fascinated me and while reading and even weeks and months after I had finished the book it still haunted me. Being a synesthete and a composer in the making I put all the emotions into improvisations which later became compositions. There are two for the first book: “Dance of the Demons” and “Deserthunt”. I put them together under the title of “Impressions of an Epic – the Painted Man”… The Composition is for violin, flute and piano. Originally there also was a cello, which I later took out.
The two parts (part1: “Deserthunt”; part2: “Dance of the Demons”) of the piece are my third and fourth composition after composing for only about one and a half years.
I really like both of the pieces, and while Birte laments the sound quality I think it’s pretty good.

First off, I must say that this is one of the best titles for artwork that I have seen in quite a while. It’s called Spicy Pleasure of the Hunt by Holymain. As you might guess, it’s a mind demon. I think it looks really creepy (in a good way).
This sketch is called Arlen vs. One Arm and was drawn by Wirrer. I must say, this is one of my favorite pics of One Arm to date; he’s so clear; I know exactly what he looks like (so I will have no problem staying away). I also really like the perspective of this one.
Here are a couple of fun things by the ever lovely Margherita, who you may remember from previous post. In this one, we have a small Arlen, wards included. He looks a little bit like Aang from Avatar:The Last Airbender. But, you know, not happy.
And here is a picture of Leesha. Let’s just say that I can see why all the guys are nuts about her if this is what she looks like. I really like her clothing in this one.
Ryan Otero wrote this poem and even put it in this nice design. I like that it’s poetry but it has a hard and even tough edge to it. (I guess Arlen will do that to everything, given enough time.)
This piece was sent to us via twitter by Samuel Perrett. On Twitter he’s @SamuelPerrett. These are pictures of a sculpture that he made of Ragen’s head. Not only do we get a different type of art than we usually see as fanart, but it’s of a character that we don’t see much either. That makes it doubly cool.

Awesome! I love them all 🙂
The music by Birte is simply awesome! Dance of the Demons kind of reminds at “Danse Macabre” by Camille Saint-Saens. How cool would it be if, those two songs would be in the painted-man-movie? 😀
The drawings are also cool and just for your interest: it’s aang. With two “a”s 😉
Thanks for reminding me Iris! I completely forgot that was how you spelled it.
Thanks for the comment Iris. I’m glad you like my music. I’m allready composing for “Desertspear”.
Well I like Birtes music very much, and I think Iris` idea of taking it into the music of the film is very good, too 😉 !
best wishes to you, Birte 😉
I really liked Birte´s music! It´s amazing and I also agree with Iris and Bekafi to take her compositions for the movie!:D That would be great!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really liked these books and her compositions would be perefect to express what happens in the book!!!!:D
whishes and great success for ya, Birte!!!!!!!!!!!:)
Hey Birte
I’d say you shall be the composer for the movie score… youreally have got talent!
Best wishes from me, too!!!
[…] could attend my noon panel and show me the beautiful music she composed (some unfinished samples here), inspired by The Desert Spear. She gave me sheet music and played the compositions on her laptop […]
