We are only a few days away from the end of the Fan Art Contest, and I wanted to share this amazing entry we just received from Kamil in Poland. Here’s what he had to say:
Dear Mr. Peter V. Brett.
My name is Kamil Marszaek and I live in Poland, Tarnów. My English is not good but I hope that everything will be clear. Your books are great, I even love them. The Painted Man and The Desert Spear have a special place not only on my shelf but in the heart. :] Please find attached a photograph of my T-shirt with the model Arlen.
Your fan
P.S. Sketch on a T-shirt comes from the Polish edition of the book The Painted Man but the idea of the T-shirt is mine. :]
Awesome job! The black and white image of Arlen on the T-shirt is so beautiful. Incredible work! Thank you for entering, Kamil.
If you haven’t already, submit your beautiful piece of fan art by 11:59pm on December 31, 2011. You can check out the rules and prizes here.

Another entry to the fan art contest! An awesome photo manipulation of fan Lorenzo fighting a rock demon. Here is what he had to say:
Hello Peat and the team!
This is my fan art submission for the latest fan art contest. It’s a photo manipulation of me fighting a rock demon. Since I couldn’t dress up as an actual character, I thought I’d create my own. I actually wrote a tiny fan fiction back story for this guy here.
He’s a khaffit – born Krasian who somehow made it out of the desert with a Messenger. He grew up in Miln and eventually became a Warder. I would like to think he was one of Ragen’s ‘warder/servant spies’ during Arlen’s visit to Duke Euchor. It was due to this event (and also some of the Jongleurs tales) that he got inspired to paint himself and also fight the corelings. Age 22 as of 333 AR. ^_^
Cheers! Lorenzo “Orey” Gallardo
Your avid fan from the Philippines. 🙂
Thank you, Lorenzo, for entering! I love that you created a whole new character and fit him into the universe. Great job!
Want to enter the contest? There is still time! Send in your fan art by 11:59pm on December 31, 2011. You can check out the rules here.

With the Fan Art Contest coming to a close, we wanted to share some older fan art from artist Luke Fielding. Some of my favorite fan art tends to be of the demons because while they are well-described in the books in many ways, there is still so much room for imagination. I love discovering how each artist visualizes these epic creatures. And Luke’s haunting rendition of a rock demon is one of my favorites. He also does incredible work with the wards, binding them into fluid patterns. It reminds me of how Arlen and the others must actually ward in the books. It seems both a science and an art; a web of symbols perfectly formed to create a net. Luke experiments with the wards to create a beautiful work of art.
Incredible portrait of a rock demon
Beautiful ward art design
Thank you so much to Luke for sharing his work. Please check out more of his work on his website. Don’t forget to submit your own fan art to our latest contest by 11:59pm on December 31, 2011. For more details, check out the rules here.

A while ago, fan and quilt designer Sondra sent this message to Peat:
I’m a quilt designer and I have a special quilt that needs a little girl. For all of the wonderful hours I’ve spent reading your books, I’d like to give a little back so to speak. I believe there’s a little angel close to you that will be 3 soon and I think she’d be the perfect little girl for this special quilt. I’ll attach a picture for you. If this ok with you I can send it wherever you’d like me to. Thank you again for sharing all the awsome kookery that runs through your mind 🙂
Sondra sent Cassie a beautiful handmade quilt. This is what Peat had to say about Cassie’s reaction:
Cassie loves the quilt. She is always naming the bugs in the pattern. “Bee!” “Butterfly!” She calls it her “bug quilt” and has slept with it ever since it arrived.
For more amazing quilts and designs, check out Sondra’s facebook page.

Adam Reese, incredible artist and devoted fan, drew these beautiful sketches of Arlen. They are, in a word, breathtaking.
The one above was actually Peat’s desktop background for a month!
I would encourage everybody to check out Adam Reese’s deviant art page to view more of his work. These images are not contest entries, but they certainly are inspiring.
