“I nodded, understanding nothing.” was an iconic line btw
The pilgrims from Dan Simmons' Hyperion. There is almost zero fanart of them online, so I had to sketch some! It's very rough, but I'm still quite satisfied, as it gave me an occasion to get out of my comfort zone with different ethnicities and sci-fi clothing (though most of the designs are heavily referencing stuff I found online. Is the monk wearing Balenciaga sandals? Yes he is). Don't know if I'll ever clean them up and color them, but I'm still putting them out in the world. Maybe one day some other characters will join them -- I haven't read Endymion yet, but my hands have been itching to draw at least Moneta and Gladstone someday. Also, I promise I didn't erase Brawne's muscles!! They just ended up being conceales by the trenchcoat. But you and I know they're there.
