Looks to me like he needs a hand.

Nanbang of Lusternia

is he this young in the

is he this young in the novels?

Knorrith of Lusternia

Well, apparently he doesn't know his real age. He supposed he was about twelve at the time if I remember the books right. I haven't read that one one over five years. I really like the picture but I kind of think Jimmy looks a bit too innocent. I mean yes, he's supposed to be scared for his life but the books portray him to be kind of a little cocky thing and very cynical.

Araz of Midkemia

Good stuff.

Rasnek of Achaea

Young

I pictured him as young but older than the child portrayed in this artwork as I read about him.

Scathain of Midkemia

Same with me

Bakstabba of Midkemia

Yup

Good picture, but the contrast needs to be adjusted

Calixa of Lusternia

Neatly drawn. Someday I am going to read the books, they're on my to-read list... together with a whole lot of other books.

Boosteya of Achaea

Boy vs. man

Some people have a thing for the underdog...

the view of the city in the back

Salindera of Achaea

this would probably be more

this would probably be more fun of a picture if I had any idea what was going on

(not that it isn't amazing, but the title doesn't give me much to go on and I have no context)

Ooh, nice. Jimmy was one of my favorite characters in the books.

Josoul of Achaea

This is a very good work!

Amram of Achaea

As I remember

Young Jimmy, a proficient thief, was on a thieving mission of some type when he ran into an assassin on the rooftops. Jimmy travels the rooftops at night for an inconspicous mode of travel. Much like traveling in the treetops in achaea. I remember there was a terrible fight but our hero, Jimmy, managed to live over it.

Nighy of Aetolia

Is Jimmy the Hand a rogue in

Is Jimmy the Hand a rogue in the books?

Cierce of Lusternia

I love the way this piece is

I love the way this piece is angled off to the side. It fits what I see as the confrontation.

(I'm not sure which one Jimmy is..)

Xenatia of Imperian

why

is he called the hand? nothing special about it

Amram of Achaea

Jimmy

Jimmy is the little guy and he is a thief. The "hand" reference I would assume to be an indication of how fast and naughty his hand is. I once had a girlfriend that said I was all "hands" for a similar reason but that is another story.

Karui of Midkemia

Go Jimmy!

I love this picture

Coeur of Achaea

So in reality most people are right handed, but left handed is the new cool? Okay....

Leonad of Achaea

Cool picture. Though when I hear hand I think of Hugh the Hand from a different book series.

Silvalum of Achaea

Very nice!

I really like the setting of the piece.

Antrax of Imperian

It is very

AWESOME!

Genomin of Midkemia

It's not quite what I would

It's not quite what I would have pictured in terms of the way Jimmy looks, honestly.

Nakari of Achaea

I assume this is a character

I assume this is a character from the book series?

Aodh of Midkemia

Indeed. Jimmy the Hand is a

Indeed. Jimmy the Hand is a major character in many of the Riftwar books. This image is of a scene from either Silverthorn or A Darkness at Sethanon (I haven't read them for a while, and my copies aren't close by at the moment).
