[shortlifelongart]

Purely self indulgent character design for Marlfoxes (from Brian Jacques' Redwall novels)..... They're described as 'mottled' and I've never seen anyone show that!

(based off our grey foxes, because they have really fun designs)

Dann: What do I get? Song: A night of fashion, mischief, mayhem, and possible death. Dann: Ooh, check, check, and check; not sure about that last one. Song: It won't be you. Dann: I'll get my coat.

What about "Marlfox"?

Look at this. We call this book "White Foxes".

my marlfox has sleep gas and my pet marljaw has sleepgas so it's kind of hard to find stuff after combat to like, pick up

just gigantic clouds everywhere

it's like

batman comes in smoke bombs beats everything up

no one sees the part where he's crawling feeling for the corner trying to find his way back out of the room

*Spoiler Warning*

The baby owls that Taunoc and Orocca gave birth to in The Long Patrol- Nutwing, Nutbeak, and Nutclaw- are actually written about again later! Nutbeak and Nutclaw leave the Abbey when they are of-age, but Nutwing stays behind. He and the silly old owl in Marlfox are one in the same!

He befriends Friar Butty and lives in the gatehouse. He keeps a relationship with Cregga Rose Eyes, who he met when he was but a babe. He gives his life helping prevent Ascrod from invading the Abbey.

Marlfox

This was an interesting one for me - I didn't particularly like that Cregga Badgermum, is so dramatically different than how she was like in The Long Patrol.....but at the same time, she was essentially overtaken by the bloodfever the entire time in Long Patrol so I guess it makes sense for her to be different now that the bloodfever was gone.... Other than that, this was an enjoyable listen/read. Song and Dann are great characters and hearing about their adventures to get to the island of Marlfoxes was great. I just also love that Urthstrip and Urthwhite are legands to harken back upon on this book. It just adds a sense of time and depth to the series I really enjoy.

Read : Nov 22nd - Dec 2nd 2022

Rating : 5 stars

I love Redwall too! I even got to meet him at a book event when I was a teen. Do you have a favorite character or book from the series?

Oh, that's neat! From what I've heard he seemed like a warm and likable guy.

It's been so long since the last time I read any of them, I can only recall some select scenes and a maybe a handful of characters. My favorite book was Mattimeo and I remember liking it's main villain, Slagar the Cruel. The Finnish publisher stopped translating the books after The Long Patrol and I never got around to reading the rest of the series, mostly because my English wasn't nowhere near good enough at the time.

I have almost all Finnish editions, still missing Mossflower and The Long Patrol, both of which seem nearly impossible to find, the printings must've been really limited or something.

#answered #skunkbomb #the next book would've been Marlfox and I was really interested in that one for years #maybe I should give it a try now that i have the means to do it

I’m rereading Marlfox and I couldn’t resist trying to design them… they’re described as ‘mottled’ and I’m trying to get the right balance!

#my art #Redwall #marlfox #basing them a little proportionally on grey foxes #i wanna do a finished full body once im happy with the design!!

Dann: You enjoy silently judging everyone, don't you? Song: When have I ever judged someone silently.

In the tags on the Mossflower post you reblogged you said that it wasn't your favorite (like it seemed to be op's). Which would you say Is your favorite 👀

This is a very hard question, and my Great Redwall Reread of a few years ago actually made it harder. It is, to be frank, easier to tell you my least favorite than my favorite. But if I must make some choice, it's a five-way tie between Lord Brocktree, High Rhulain, Rakkety Tam, Pearls of Lutra, and Mattimeo.

Lord Brocktree has the fabulous dynamic between the main characters (especially Brocktree and Dotti), Bucko's challenges, pretty much EVERYTHING with the hares, a stellar example of rivals-to-friends, and a pretty epic ending.

High Rhulain, Pearls of Lutra, and Mattimeo all have the riddles/treasure hunt thing going on, which I will never not love. As far as I was concerned, that was a plotline Jacques could repeat as many times as he wanted and I'd be happy.

High Rhulain is probably also a major source of my love of the "young person has nobility unexpectedly thrust upon them; must figure out How Does One Royal?" trope. And it has both hares and otters (my two favorite Redwall races) in major roles! This makes me happy.

Pearls of Lutra is actually my favorite of the treasure-hunt plots, and I think it's the best of the seafaring Redwall books. It's still in the era where we're seeing the overlap of different generations, and we see the young characters from past books grown up, and I really enjoyed that while it lasted. It also has one of the best sympathetic villain characters in the series . . . and I just like Grath Longfletch as a character, what can I say?

Rakkety Tam is Scottish squirrels. Enough said.

(Ok, but actually you have Scottish squirrels, plus the Long Patrol, plus Tergen (who is Excellent), plus a really cute romance? I also love the poems that bracket the different sections. And can we TALK about the final battle? It is arguably the MOST impressive fight, at least in terms of power imbalance, since Martin vs. Tsarmina in Mossflower. Rakkety Tam takes on the evil equivalent of a badger. And WINS. Literally the only reason this is not hands-down my favorite book is the existence of Yoofus, who annoys me so much.)

Finally, Mattimeo really just has almost everything I love about the Redwall series, both the A and B plots are excellent, and it's another one of the stories where you get to see some of the next generation. And it has the Sparra in it — I was so sad when Jacques dropped them from the narrative.

So, yes. Those are probably my favorites. I do love a lot of the series, though, so it's very hard to choose! And I recognize that not all of these have the Significance or Weight of Mossflower, and some of them may be technically weaker books . . . but they're the ones I've loved since the first time I read the series, and that I've only come to love more in the times I've reread them.

#taleweaver answers #asks answered #firefletch #redwall #marlfox + mariel + bellmaker + long patrol + mossflower + triss all nearly made the list #there's genuinely only a few books in the series that I'm meh about though #(those being outcast + salamandastron + eulalia)

You can (magically) make two more seasons of Nelvana Redwall cartoon. What two books you would choose to adapt? What change would you make to the plot, if any?

Oh man... while there's a ton of other books I'd love to see adapted (Taggerung, Lord Brocktree, and the two Mariel books come to mind) I think the boring answer is that I'd have to go with Mossflower and Legend of Luke.

They'd just tie so naturally into the Martin the Warrior season, and it'd be REALLY great to see Mossflower with the context of Martin grieving the death of Rose. I'm not sure BJ had that aspect of Martin's backstory written in stone since Mossflower was written first. I'm also just really desperate to see Martin's friends actually get better insight to his trauma, since in the canon of the books he never tells them about Rose and Marshank. Legend of Luke ALSO gives Mossflower more context, because we find out that Windred and Sayna were actually natives of Saint Ninian's before being driven out by Verduga Greeneyes.

I just finished reading Legend of Luke recently, and while the Luke segments were very good, I found the Martin parts frustrating because it never felt like the narrative was willing to give Martin time to process anything. The pacing was SO fast and he very adamantly refuses to talk about anything with anyone besides a few brief words with Vurg once he's finished telling Luke's story. AND AGAIN Rose and Marshank are never brought up! I know Martin swore himself to secrecy regarding the location of Noonvale, but Gnoff is his best friend. I wanted to see them talk about it! And likewise I know that Martin's memory loss from how badly hurt he was fighting Tsarmania is more of a plot device then anything, that's also something I'd like to see discussed. Is this something that will get worse? Does it affect his daily life? That kind of thing!

I also thought the narrative was very kind to Luke's decision to go after Vilu Daskar; yes he ended up freeing all the oar slaves on the Goreleech and slew a very dangerous pirate crew before dying himself, but almost all of Luke's crew died in the process. Not only that, because he left what was left of his tribe practically undefended to go hunt down Daskar (basically just older mice, very young children, and a few teenagers with swords) Martin is captured and made a slave, Windred dies on the journey to Marshank, and the rest of the tribe just ends up captured or killed by DIFFERENT pirates. But Martin is very at peace with his father's decision, even though it resulted in him living as a slave for some time at Marshank (though can you imagine if Luke HAD stayed and Martin had been taken to Marshank? Dude would have just burst through the wall of the fortress and ripped Badrang's head off)

ANYWAY point being! I think there's a ton of potential to connect these three books, especially since Martin the Warrior was already adapted so they can lean on that! Martin is such an integral aspect of the series that he really deserves to have his fully story animated.
