#sol weintraub

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.

sometimes I think I'm having a bad day, then I remember Sol Weintraub and I guess I'm ok

"Sol lifted his newborn and dying child, seconds old, shrieking now with her first and last breath, and handed her to the Shrike. The absence of her slight weight struck Sol with a terrible vertigo.

The Shrike lifted Rachel, stepped backward, and was enveloped in light. Behind the Sphinx, the tree of thorns ceased shimmering, shifted into phase with now, and came into terrible focus. Sol stepped forward, arms imploring, as the Shrike stepped back into the radiance and was gone."

- The Fall of Hyperion by Dan Simmons

Just finished reading Hyperion and just fucking imagine the sheer amount of grief you'd experience if you were in Sol Weintraubs situation

In the end, thought Sol, past logic and hope, it is dreams and the love of those dearest to us that form Abraham's answer to God.

Dan Simmons, The Fall of Hyperion

I recently finished Dan Simmons’ Hyperion and the Fall of Hyperion and decided to draw the main characters!! (I still need to read Endymion and the Rise of Endymion)

They’re great books and I’d recommend anyone into science fiction to give ‘em a read!

Just finished Sol Weintraub's story in Hyperion and I'm absolutely heartbroken

Layton and Desmond are like Sol Weintraub from the Hyperion Cantos in the sense that they're all professors of archaeology and had partners who were killed tragically
