#the bellmaker

So here are Matthias...

... and Basil Stag Hare!

(I used the color palettes from the TV series).

It was SO much fun making them. If I get any comments or requests for other characters in this style I might add more! (@girlscarpia you gave me the idea!!! XD)

Update - I couldn't start something like this without at least trying to draw the villain from the first book. So, here is Cluny the Scourge...

(I’m ACTUALLY really happy with how he turned out lol. This illustrator doesn't usually do particularly monstrous creatures, except for the occasional wolf, so I actually used one of her wolves as a reference to make him).

Update (again) - Slagar the Cruel

(Oh shit... the villains turn out SO well in this style. I think I’m gonna keep going with a few more villains…)

Update (again 2) - Ferahgo the Assassin

(I think he's my favorite villain...)

Update (again 3) - Urgan Nagru the Foxwolf... That’s enough villains for a while. Who knows who the next one will be…

...Meldrum Fallowthorn and his four nephews!

Take Pirates of the Caribbean, for example. The bit with the giant whirlpool in the ocean and the two ships battling it out on the edge, the pirate captains each using their skill to keep their ships from plummeting to their dooms… and then one is swallowed up by the sea. Falls, never to return.

That’s just the Bellmaker. Right???

And some of the conversations that the orcs have in the lord of the rings movies… just so very redwall vermin core…

Glokkpod is a bloodthirsty shrike who became accidentally trapped in the prisons of Castle Floret, where he was kept confined and sometimes poked at for fun, but no one dared get too close. He was eventually freed, allying with his fellow escapees and promising only to kill the vermin allied with his tormentors. Due to his barbaric nature, he's also known as the Butcher Bird.
