He looks a bit like Alistair from Dragon Age Origins. At least the hair

This would have made a far better book cover. Too bad the series is done.

You do the best 'Codex Alera' fan art

ValentineNights Featured By Owner Nov 14, 2013 Hobbyist Photographer

I've always had such a super hard crush on Bernard and among all the (studly) men of Alera, he stands out because of his character and general hunkiness. Amara is a lucky bi-...chick

Really love all your Codex Alera artwork, your Canim look exactly how I imagined when reading!

TenkoSama9 Featured By Owner Oct 8, 2013

Nothing like a giant stone dog named after the man who killed Cesar.

Little-Gunboy Featured By Owner Nov 17, 2013

Hey, hey, hey!

Allegedly.

TenkoSama9 Featured By Owner Nov 17, 2013

I think the composer Adrian Von Ziegler decided to use your amazing picture for one of his musical works. ^-^ I'm actually listening to it right now.

This is, in my opinion, a great representation of these two characters. I enjoyed these books and you did these two justice.

why does this have me thinking of spice and wolf

_{Because Horo turned into a badass wolf and did the same exact thing, but (whatshisname) turns out to be a coward and screams like a little girl.}

Rosiepuppy Featured By Owner Aug 8, 2012

I LOVE Jim Bitcher's book, and i think so many people focus on his Dresden series that they skip over his first work, Codex Alera, which is also pretty good when you read more than just one chapter. Thank you for this awesome art!!!! ^_^

Awesome interpretation of Brutus.

geibenchan Featured By Owner Jul 22, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

i tend to imagine bernard a bit more like sig curtis from fullmetal alchemist, but i like this too. and brutus looks amazing! i have half a mind to use this as an exhample next time i try to do a realistic peice!

ZeroXeroZ Featured By Owner Jul 13, 2012

Luna-x0295 Featured By Owner Jul 6, 2012

Read the series and Bernard has to be one of my favorite character. Love this!

Generalfoley Featured By Owner Jul 2, 2012 Student Writer

I've no idea what the Codex Alera series is, but this is a good piece. I may have too read it.

Bernard:: *Raises Fist* "Brutus! HOLD!"

Brutus: *Crashes through Wall* "IMMA CRASHIN' THROUGH YO FLOOR!"

Bernard:: "Dammit, not again!"

Sorry, I've been doing these things with the good pieces of art I've stumbled upon this morning, and while I blame the insomnia, I'm really just bored.

Still, this is an awesome piece, so keep up the good work!

The General

Gorgeous!

SnowEnzeru Featured By Owner May 19, 2012

I fav'd this ages ago but only just realised IT'S FROM MAY FAVOURITE SERIES OF ALL TIME!! Love how you have interpreted his fury, i always saw it much the same, maybe smaller and thinner, but rock hewn none the less, but if possible do more furies (mainly because i love this series :3) haha but i think seeing the fury of Alera with sextus would be pretty cool (ofc... this is my late night ramblings so feel no need to pay any heed... however that did rhyme... which is kinda awesome XD haha) anyways, i have rambled on too long. Bottom line - awesome drawing.
