Very nice work. It feels "warmer" than what I've seen of Youll's work on the series.

Nice. Shoot him a link to the Dune font.

Ahp, nice, but what's that about shield walls?

Done! He didn't realize there was a font, but said he probably would have gone with what he did on his own anyways to change it up a little bit.

I made a comment of being wary of the sandworm so close to the refinery and explained the shield walls and Arrakeen a little bit and how all that's important to the story as he hadn't read the book. Don't think it influenced the final design too much.

OK. But just to be clear, it's Shield Wall, singular, as the name (capitalized) of a geographical feature.

That's why I was confused... "shield walls" sounds like walls composed of shields... which would draw the worms if out on the open bled. Beyond the Shield Wall.

Right. I made a point to define the Shield Wall as a geographic occurrence, but he didn't seem interested enough to differentiate. I just went with his terminology over there to keep things consistent, although it's obviously wrong over here.

I like the current font - it's rather nice. Reminds me a little bit of the current Great Dune Trilogy cover... could just be the colour though.

I found these very interesting!

wow, yeah, really interesting ... all his stuff ...and in my mind, the discussion of what Duncan Idaho looks like is over ...

I like those a lot. Duncan's very good, and I like the take on Hwi.

Great artwork. So refreshing to see a more cartoony take on the characters, though of course its not too cartoony. I can see that style working well in vintage advertisements. The coloring-style is perhaps what makes them all stand out the most.

Not my favourite style of drawing, but I like these; they evoke the scenes they are set in very well.

That one's a cute under-representation of their rivalry.

If the RM was saying "whore" it'd be perfect.

Exactly! "Skank" is such a teenage term it makes the picture so comical.

I'd like to see a collaboration of many, many artists do the complete series ... and switch back and forth, maybe each chapter,
maybe just randomly, in the middle of a scene, whatever ... some ActionComics style, the new "dark" stuff like Frank Miller,
this kid's Erin e-Surance stuff, whatever it is that Simon does, and so on .....

but ...
Wish in One Hand,
the HLP will Shit in the Other ...

That BG/HM fighting picture should have the BG saying "whore," and the HM saying "witch."
Honestly, I really like the style in those pictures. While I often prefer something a little more realistic for "What Dune Should Look Like," these give a great impression of the visuals, but still leave it slightly open to interpretation. They're a good starting point to help folks visualize the characters.

the sardaukar one is just perfect imo
it's the first one that fits the mental image I built of them !

Thopter as griffin, in other words?

Nope.

I like the second (Sardaukar) one better than the first, but it doesn't really float my glowglobes.
