Asdraikh

CJ's take on her goblin prince.from The Goblin Mirror.   The quintessential man in black.

Yummy, huh?

Julius ... as in Caesar

Another of CJ's sketches. For those who haven't read the Heroes in Hell series, at least get your hands on Legions in Hell.  That's CJ's solo piece---a collection of the short pieces she wrote for the anthologies plus additional material to make a complete and terrific novel.  She taught Latin and Ancient History for eleven years and her take on Julius and Niccolo (Machievelli) are well worth the price of admission.

The Cyteen Crew

This is a T-shirt design I did for a convention.  Clockwise: Ari, Florian, Catlin, Jordan, the junior mafia (Ari, Florian and Catlin as kids), Justin and last but far from least, Grant.

<There you go with the redheads, again...>---TW

Thomas Mondragon

From Angel with a Sword.
<Talk about gifts falling from heaven...>--->TW
This is a detail from Guilt and Baroque...Again, a painting I did that was used as inserts for the CJ Cherryh filk tape.

Guilt and Baroque...Again

This shows a bit more of Mondragon, though it's still a worked over scan. It was the header for my first index. One of these days I'll get the whole painting scanned in.  It's just quite large and I've never gotten a decent picture.

Bet Yeager

From Rimrunners.  Truly one of the great female protagonists in the history of literature.  Another of CJ's sketches

NG Raimey

Bet's counterpart in Rimrunners.  A wonderfully charming nutcase.

I hate to tell you, Smith, I think they have.
<Arrrrrgh!!!!>
Another of CJ's.  This one has something ... I've tried to catch it in a painting, and haven't yet managed.  I just love the intensity.

Niun's Plea

Next to Cyteen, The Faded Sun Trilogy is my favorite of Carolyn's books.  This is one of the few truly finished illustrations I've done  based on Carolyn's work (outside of the Ivrel graphic) and I consider it one of my best pieces of inking.  It's a scene from Shon j'ir when Niun   confronts Melein.about Duncan's status.  The best news is, the Faded Sun is now available in an omnibus edition. 

Dubhain

Dubhain, sometimes charmingly wicked young man, other times, one of the world's most attitudinal horses. Faery in Shadow is one of Carolyn's most overlooked novels.  It's a well, but subtly, researched Celtic fantasy that is a sequel of sorts to her short story "Brothers."  The Caith/Dubhain duo is ... unique, to say the least. 
(Another of CJ's sketches.)

Rusalka

Pyetr (left) and Sacha (right).  Obviously, Pyetr is from the Rusalka era and Sacha is from Yvgenie.  (-:
More of Carolyn's sketches.
