After my latest reread of Hexwood, I realized I've completely missed the signature's camel-hair cloak of Mordion and Vierran's blue eyes. So I've corrected them on my old fan art.

silver-and-ivory replied to your photo “okay so maybe there’s context for this that I don’t have but like......”
who is one of your favorite characters @earlgraytay?
Well, the thing is... everything I said about him is a spoiler. >_<
His name’s Mordion and he’s a character from a book called Hexwood, by Diana Wynne Jones. Hexwood is a very... weird book, and I can’t talk about it in more than the vaguest terms without spoiling it.

He swallowed as he turned away. There were supposed to be five Reigners. Borasus had worried, double thoughts about them. On one hand, he believed almost mystically in these distant beings who controlled the Balance and infused order into the Organization. On the other hand, as he was accustomed to say dryly, to those in the Organization who doubted that the Reigners existed at all, that there had to be someone in control of such a vast combine, and whether there were five, or less, or more, these High Controllers did not appreciate blunders. He hoped with all his heart that this business with this Bannus did not strike them as a blunder. What–he told himself–he emphatically did not believe were all these tales of the Reigners’ Servant.
When the Reigners were displeased, it was said, they were liable to dispatch their Servant. The Servant, who had the face of Death and dressed always in scarlet, came softly stalking down the stars to deal with the one who was at fault. It was said he could kill with one touch of his bone-cold finger or at a distance, just with his mind. It did no good to conceal your fault because the Servant could read minds, and no matter how far you ran and how many barriers you out between, the Servant could detect you and come softly walking through anything you put in his way. You could not kill him because he deflected all weapons. And the Servant would never swerve from any task the Reigners appointed him to.
No, Controller Borasus did not believe in the Servant–although, he had to admit, there were quite frequent dry little reports that came into Albion Head Office to the effect that such and such an executive, or director, or subconsul, had terminated from the Organization. No, that was something different. The Servant was just folklore.
But I shall take the rap, Borasus thought as he went to get ready to go to Earth, and he shivered as if a bloodred shadow had walked softly on bone feet across his grave.
Diana Wynne Jones, Hexwood

Edit; I'm so crazy about them! Their history, their connection, their everything. DWJ wrote them so good.
Edit after latest reread, gosh how could I’ve missed the camel hair colored coat and Vierran’s eyes being blue?

“And if what you meant to imply, actually, was something along the lines of 'Mordion and Vierran, sitting in a tree,' then what I've got to say to you is, grow up!"

Fanart for Diana Wynne Jones' Hexwood
So I don't know... I want to start posting some of my stuff on tumblr so here it is. I'd like to add a few tweaks but I wasn't sure of what to add and Photoshop was starting to die on me so I'm leaving it like that for the time being.
THIS BOOK GAVE ME ALL THE FEELS!
