Update Just realised I hadn't added this to my blurb. Many, many thanks to Netprincess for her help and advice.

This is the first in what will be a series based on the Elderling’s Realm books by Robin Hobb, sometimes called the Farseer books. The Fool is a central character in these books, and he goes through many changes both in his body and in his persona. He has human parents but somewhere in his ancestry there is non-human blood – a White. Although he begins as an albino at the time of this picture his appearance is that of a youth verging on becoming a man. His skin is described as very pale – the colours of freshly ground flour, sometimes with a faint wash of tawniness or gold. His eyes are the colour of pale ale held up to the light. His hair is fine, floating and very, very pale. I have set him in the snowy evergreen forests of the Mountain Kingdom. Dragons are an overwhelming theme in The Fool's life and I have used the pendant to represent this.

Because the subject demanded it this image has a lot of white and pale areas. It has been made top suit the two monitors I have access too, but it may appear a little glary and washed out on some monitors.
