One of the wonderful things about San Diego Comic Con is the diversity of events, booths and people. This allows for all sorts of intermixing of creative and nerdy species. This year, we had the pleasure of experiencing one of these cross-overs. Christopher Paolini took some time out of his event schedule to walk Artists Alley with us in order to interview three hugely popular fantasy artists down in Artist Alley: Donato, Todd Lockwood, and Brom.
With the publication of the special edition Eragon 10th anniversary edition coming up, complete with original art, Christopher thought it would be great to get a chance to hear what fantasy’s like from their perspective.
