Definitely never pictured her like this.

Same. I picture her much less 'classically beautiful'...A bit more alien looking actually, almost slightly reminiscent of The Fool.
Still, this is really nice work.

Not sure I pictured her like the fool but I agree I had a picture like the British Royalty, this portrays her as a perfect 10 model with a sword.

Not exactly like the fool, just in the sense that I pictured her having quite alien features.

I picture her as just having a Scandinavian look. The Mountain Folk are described as tall and fair, but not as alien in any way. At least, as far as I can remember.

Yeah, I pictured her more tall and fine-boned, and fairer. Also less classically beautiful as someone else said. Something along the lines of Cate Blanchett. Gorgeous artwork though.

I saw K as a cross between Cate Blanchett and a little Greta Garbo, her expressive eyes especially. Attractive, stunning at times, but not your perfect strapping blonde with the average beautiful face.
This is excellent work though. Love that facial expression - grit, determination, and sadness.

Beautiful illustration, but definitely not how I pictured her either. I have more of a Cate Blanchett mental image - stronger features. This looks like a taller version of Daenerys to me, with makeup.

This looks more like Celerity? to me. Might have the name wrong but I mean the Bearns Lady that was proposed as a marriage to Fitz.
Edit: Wrong hair colour after checking but definitely how I pictured Celerity.

I know Robin Hobb describes her as being tall, but hokey smokes... she looks like Conan the Barbarian from the neck down!

Dang, she looks great! Love these illustrated editions!

Looks a little too much like Sana’a Stark for my liking. Still gonna buy it though 😁

Absolutely! Her face looks really familiar. She’s somewhere between Sansa and Dany:)

This is an amazing piece of art, but now all I can think of it Kettricken as a Viking ☹️

This is exactly how I pictured her! Omg these new illustrations are amazing! I'm loving these!

Wow, I’m so excited to get the illustrated version!
I’ve never understood why fantasy book illustrations of long haired men and women always have the hair loose and flowing free during battle scenes - if you’ve never had long hair, attempting to do anything active (and see at the same time) with your hair loose is impossible. It does look beautiful but Im subconsciously searching my wrist for a hair tie.

Do you happen to know the extent of the illustrations? I picked up the French graphic novel years ago, and wondering if this includes scenes etc or just character portrayals?

I do not know. The Illustrated Assassin’s Apprentice includes just a handful of illustrations that capture a specific moment told in the story. I would imagine Royal Assassin would be the same.

Oof I only just clocked this was Royal Assassin and that Apprentice must have been published already! I know what I’ll be buying tonight... god I hope they do the whole series. What I would do to see the silver man wandering through the world...

Bruh I'm aroused.
