Who is Ciruelo Cabral?
Ciruelo is an award-winning fantasy artist whose work heavily features dragons! His illustrations have adorned book covers (even some by George Lucas!), Magic: The Gathering cards, magazines, and more. The painter has brought Alagaësia to life on numerous occasions, illustrating Eragon and Saphira together for the 10th Anniversary Collector’s Edition of Eragon, as well as two different renditions of Saphira.
What does Christopher think of Ciruelo’s interpretation of Alagaësia?
Christopher has always been a big fan of Ciruelo and his work, stating the artist is “a friend and one of my favorite dragon artists. He’s done an amazing job with Saphira, Thorn, Fírnen, and all the other dragons of the Inheritance Cycle! I love how he’s brought Alagaësia to life through his drawings of scenes, characters, and locations from the entire series.”
Will any other artists feature in the coloring book?
Yes! Christopher’s well-known illustration of Saphira’s eye, featured on the cover of the self-published edition of Eragon as well as inside each of the Random House editions of the Inheritance Cycle books, will also be included! Fans will be familiar with Christopher’s other art: he created the map inside each book, the dragon eyes found inside the regular and Deluxe Editions, plus additional artwork such as Brisingr, Brom, and more.
What exactly will be in the coloring book?
