I absolutely love Peter V Brett's books, The Warded Man (In the U.S. - The Painted Man abroad) and The Dessert Spear are amazing. I think The Dessert Spear may be my favorite book I've read so far this year, and that's saying a lot, since I've read a lot, and I mean A LOT of books that I've loved in 2012.
I was so wowed when I finished the the second one that I whipped up a piece of fan art. Peter Brett himself stopped by my deviantART page and told me that he'd made it his new desktop background... I won't call him to task on that, I'll just believe and not ask any questions.
Anyway, he posted a copy of it to his blog. I'm just thrilled to death.

You should be excited! That is a huge honor. And the scene has such a dreamlike quality to it.
Good stuff man! You fanboy geek out all you want.
I am all for being a fanboy when books are involved. I read The Warded Man and The Desert Spear a while back, and I loved them.
Wow, moving into the big time now.
What a tremendous scene! Your artwork is stunning, really gorgeous. I love how the Warded Man is crouched for battle and the wood demon's claw is coming at him.
Great picture.
Oooh I need to bookmark your deviant art pge.
Great pic! It's really spooky.
I'm gonna have to check out the book... as soon as I get some time.
(Reading Snow Crash (not enjoying it) right now)

Awesome that Peter Brett put your artwork on his page! Congratulations!
(catching up...: on being a scientist) I hope -being the science geek you are- that you corrected your wife when she said that scientists just "make things up" (At least that's what you claim she said) I am pretty sure that scientists didn't just make up global warming (or climate chaos- the better name). You could still get that degree and go into a field of science and do... science stuff (ever see 'The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra'?)
