Still mourning the Redwall adaptation we never got. From Patrick McHale leaving to Netflix just sitting on the rights... the wasted potential is insane. This world has so many incredible stories and characters that deserve to be seen. We were robbed

To add some variety to this blog, I am going to share something I did for the Ukrainian publishing house “Nebo” (nebo.booklab.publishing) last year.

Here are a few fragments of the illustrations for the third novel in the Brian Jacques' Redwall saga — "Mattimeo". Of all the books in this series, I think "Mattimeo" was the most fun to illustrate so far.

Time for more Incorrect Redwall Quotes!

Honestly, it felt like a discussion the two of them would have. 🤣 my best regards to @incorrectredwallquotes, I hope you don’t mind me occasionally drawing these!

(There’s so many that I like it’s hard to choose what to draw)

Some more Redwall drawings! Worked on some Villain Designs, featuring Cluny, Tsarmina, Badrang & Slagar.

I remembered this meme exists and IMMEDIATELY had to draw it.

That’s it, that’s Mariel of Redwall in a nutshell.

[karmada]

Decided to dabble in other characters, so I definitely wanted to draw Mariel and Dandin (I did earlier but I wanted to redo their outfits). I just love how much of a gremlin Mariel can be 🤣

[karmada]

I’ll never let it go that Martin did not use a shield 🤣 (lovingly). It’s probably my favorite continuity error, because it played such an important part in Redwall and then it simply just did not exist in Mossflower. (Oh yeah and the hip scabbard. He wears the blade on his back…???)

My headcanon is that it was a gift from Salamandastron, which is also why it has the big “M” on it. (It just doesn’t seem like Martin’s style to have a big M in anything he owns)

And just how did it get to be part of a puzzle built into the abbey?

SO GLAD YOU ASKED! I fully believe that Gonff had a paw in making the whole riddle to where the sword was hidden. (And in other ways, he’s the one in the ghost world writing all the dream riddles/poems that Ghost!Martin delivers…there’s no way Martin is writing all of those.)

Also, yes I will never pass up a chance to draw Gonff with Gonflet. 😌

[karmada]

I’m here with more Dark Forest comics to give us the closure we didn’t know we wanted. At least what I wanted. I have a lot of feelings about Luke.

I just want Martin to have some closure and be happy in his afterlife. He sort of got it at the end of Legend of Luke, but it felt like more the grieving a family he never got to know, and reaching peace with that.

Meanwhile, there’s Gonff in the background…

[karmada]

I absolutely loved the idea of characters hanging out in the Dark Forest/Afterlife so I *HAD* to draw them meeting up.

Would Martin still try to keep his past a secret? Oh absolutely. Will it work? Not with Gonff floating around there!

And yes, while Martin was keeping Noonvale a secret, and not being over what happened, I also believe he didn’t want to tell because Gonff can be very dramatic.

I also drew some very great faces I liked, so enjoy these zoom ins:

The face of mischief

This man shall never know rest, I fear.

[karmada]

Okay, I think I’m happy with the colors for Rose, and I had to draw a Martin next to her! I love the idea of him being the shorter of the two, so that’s what I did (and I can’t see him having the best access to food and such in the time he was growing up)

[incorrectredwallquotes]

Fortunata: Would you rather stab Gingivere or- Tsarmina: Gingivere. Fortunata: I didn't even say the other option. Tsarmina: I don't need to hear it. Gingivere: Gingivere: I'm feeling a little unsafe.

[incorrectredwallquotes]

Martin: I think I might have some mild trauma Log-a-log: You think? Dinny: Might have?! Gonff: MILD?!?!
