Nice. Morgan's spot-on - that must be his "ten-mile-long-sword" shot. Cool Toot, on the other hand, looks a bit more masculine than I had pictured him. Not that I pictured him effeminate, exactly, but maybe more, hmm, cartoony. This little pixie looks like Tarzan with a giant dandelion on his head.  Grin

I didn't picture toot necessarily cartoony, but maybe child-like.  Though Harry looked killer, as did Morgan.  Can't wait for the scene where Morgan gets brained by the bar chair.

Not what I expected of Toot either.  Figured it would be more of the old thought that the fae were willowy, smooth lines in nature, not bulging muscles buff.

Noticed the runes on Harry's staff are glowing, too.  I wonder if that's going to be an artistic conceit from now on?

Looks great, by the way.  I can't wait for October!

I was going to say that at first, but even then the sword looks a bit short.  Though it could just be due to a lack of color and shading.  Sometimes a shadow can add a heck of a lot of depth, size.

Oh, I agree. There's an image in WttJ that has Harry's blasting rod foreshortened... and it looks like a piece of blackboard chalk instead of a foreshortened rod. I'm thinking the foremost part should be rendered much larger than it is to give the impression of appropriate foreshortening.

Ah perspective. A sly beast, innit?

Its what I was thinking too. Even with it just being the angle of the shot, it looks to me like the blade'll be a regular long sword at most. But it could just be the lack of coloring.

Morgan himself looks pretty bad ass though, eh?
