The first fan art I ever drew was the Viper ships from Battlestar Galactica. I progressed on to unicorns, although it look me a while to get the back legs right. And after one of my friends on our Girl Scout trip to Europe started drawing pictures of people, I decided to give that a try. I began drawing Shannara.

Shea at Age 3 (1989) Allanon told Shea that he had known him as a child, and that was true. Shea's father, Ediard Arhadrian, was horsebreeder in the lower Westland, and a distant heir of the Shannara lineage. Confident of his own abilities and doubtful of the danger, Ediard failed to heed Allanon's warnings, and was ambushed by Skullfollowers. After his death, Shea's mother, Naomie, blamed Allanon for what had happened and forbade him to ever set foot in her house again. Here is my conception of the young Shea watching this confrontation. .

. Jamie Brocker (right) was Andrea's only real friend among the girls in the Vale, but their friendship was uneasy. It was not a comfortable thing for Jamie to be associated with the outcast among their peers. When a reluctant Andrea first returned to the Vale with her father, the two girls ended up in a knock-down, drag-out fight. Oddly enough, they became better friends than ever afterward. This drawing depicts them immediately after the fight. Friends Like These (1989)

You Need to Cut Your Bangs (1989) This is one of my favorite pictures. It shows a quiet moment between Allanon and Andrea in their earliest days in the Vale, and captures--for me anyway--the essence of their father/daughter relationship. .

. Andrea's brief happiness was shaken by the arrival of Bremen (who was freed, at the Warlock Lord's death, from the spell that had bound him limbo) and David (the orphaned son of Allanon's lifelong best friend Kerelder). A sense of obligation to continue the Druid line led Andrea into a too-early marriage with David that was, at first, emotionally disastrous--a fact that became clear to everyone in the household at the time Alaric was born.
