I'd say all black to begin with, he's supposed to be completely mysterious and not necessarily human. I love the idea of a snake on the shield although it is different from the book, it would make Aslan appearing on the shield even more incredible and sybolic, an I've left the which and taken on Aslan idea. Once we know who he is I'd say silver's a great idea. His clothes (when imprisoned) would look really good if they weren't Narnian/ Telmerine looking at all we want as few clues as to who he is as possible. When he returns to Narnia his clothes should be brightly coloured and as Narnian as Possible. I might do some drawings. Anybody else?

He should be merry but also slightly vage as if hes nnot really there ( i mean in the underworld.) What do you think ? I've allways pictured him with brown hair looking very like King Caspian. Please Comment I'd like to Know what others think. By the way im from the UK . Sorry that was just random.

Polly that UK comment was random, but I agree with you about his attitude. There is really great drawing idea for Rilian is Characters, have a look.

I think I was wrong about that picture, there is one but I'm not sure where

I think you're right. All black, then some silver. I'm glad you like the idea of a snake. I knew it differed from the book, but I think Mr. Lewis would like the imagery. (As you said the transformation would be even more impressive.)

I think Rilian's attitude should be that of the apparently kind, but terribly insincere, and slightly mad host. The sort of fellow who seems almost normal, but then there's just something about him to put you on your guard.

I think his hair should be black. We don't want him to bear too much of a resemblance to Caspian, but then again, we won't see his face 'til after we know who he is, so perhaps......
