Artist's Comments

Raistlin, from the "Dragonlance" series, was a requested by a friend. I have not read the books so this interpretation of him is based on what I was told about the character, and some pictures I'd seen by other artists.

Raistlin stands about 45cm high and is made from painted fimo and mixed materials.

But it doesn't look like Raist...

I mean, it looks like a white haired mage, but not Raist.

Raist has yellow hourglass eyes and golden skin and red (or black) robes, and the Staff of Magius, which is a dragon's talon clutching a jewel at the end.

Plus, Raist is like... 24, 26 during the War of the Lance (Dragonlance Chronicles; the war was from 348 AC - 352 AC and Raist was born in 326 AC). The Raistlin doll you have looks like a really old man... like almost Gandalf old (just without Gandalf's beared).

I really like the position of the doll however, so you get really good kudos for capturing a pose that one could see his inner torment through.

That is amazing. It's just... uh. If I had the talent, I'd start working on my own Raistlin doll, modeled after this one--because that pose suits him so well and he looks just pretty overall. I don't think he looks old, either.

Beautiful work.

As someone said, his skin and eyes are meant to be gold (see icon, that's Raistlin)sand his robes would be better black, but otherwise his expression and poise are perfect. I especially love the little extra spell components and everything.

Do you do other commisions?

Very nice.
You did a good job; However, the top of his staff is supposed to be a Golden Dragon's claw clutching a jewel.
The staff is a key part of Raistlin's character, because it's one of the most powerful artifacts in the world of DragonLance called the "Staff of Magius".
You did a wonderful job, though.
You caught Raistlin in a good pose, his expression really takes in the character.
Good work!

Really? Interesting.

I've never read the book, so I have no idea. I tried to get as much description of the character from the guy I made this statue for. He didn't tell me much, he just gave me a few print outs of some artwork he'd found. In all the pictures, Raistlin was an old man with long white hair. He was wearing plain black robes, true, (I'd didn't have any good black material to work with at the time) but he just looked like a normal old man. No staff, normal skin, and couldn't really see his eyes to know that there was anything unusual about them.

I was just working with what I was given, but it's frustrating to know that a lot of character details are missing.

Thanks for the heads up!
