Fuligin in illustration

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I'll let this topic rest, but I wanted to share this illustration I found online to the Hungarian Shadow Of the Torturer.

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2347/2417005336_602e07d1d1_o.png

the best, coolest illustration I've come across for this series besides the Pennington Shadow cover. Note the Avern in the lower left of the back cover.

The gauntlets aren't legit, and maybe the sabretache is overlarge, and of cousre, the Fuligin issue is avoided. (though another Caveat is that somewhere in Sword or Citadel he mentions his cloak being 'faded' by that point.) And Terminus Est lacks the carved heads on the quillions

The artist did draw him shirtless though, but shaded the body to deemphasize.
(Does anyone know the artist's name)  I love that there is absolutely nothing 'sci-fi' looking about this illustration.  Great stuff.

alright,
back to AEG with you all.

>As an aside, in the GURPS rolepleying supplement Severian is actually depicted without a shirt. It's the most faitful illustration I've seen to date Severian.
