A digital drawing of three characters from the Inkheart book series. On the left is Firefox, a tall, broad, middle aged man with fiery red hair and a scowl on his face. He’s wearing silver armour decorated with snakes and a red tabard. Over one shoulder he has a cloak made of fox tails and has a sword strapped to his hip. In the middle is The Piper, a slightly shorter leaner man with brown hair cut bluntly around his head and an undercut. He’s got a smug, gap-toothed grin and a silver nose on his face. He’s wearing green and yellow Landsknecht clothing and a segmented cloak embroidered with snakes. He’s got an ornate rapier strapped to his hip and a mandolin on his back. His gloved hand is raised to his mouth as if in a mocking laugh. On the right is Basta, the shortest of the men. He’s got dark hair slicked back and a mean sneer on his face. Burns can be seen peeking out from under his clothes on his neck. He’s also wearing silver armour, though his is plain. And he has a silver cloak thrown over his shoulders. He’s wearing a slightly newer red tabard with the Adderhead’s snake crest on the chest and has a knife strapped to his belt. All three men stand in front of a background with the curl abstraction of a red snake’s body on it.

Every few years I redraw my favourite book antagonists, and since The Colour of Revenge came out I thought it was high time I did just that #inkheart #inkheartbooks #corneliafunke
