Diggory and Polly examine the pillar in the Hall of Images on Charn. (In Charn?) I borrowed the concept for the letters from the Voyage of the Dawn Treader 2010 movie. If you look at it, can you make out the message?

I must compliment the fine sketching of Diggory and Polly. You are quite gifted in your craft. I wish I could put the letters together in the right sequence, but I'll keep working on it.
Bravo!

Hehe, I just noticed that my 'v' and my 'r' kind of look alike. You might want to keep that in mind. There looks to be an extra 'n' as well... 
Thanks, Windsong.

Very nice, Mel! I really like this. This also happens to be one of my favorite parts of the Magician's Nephew!
Hmmm... Does it say Strike the bell adventurous?

Very lovely sketch! 
I love their faces! You have a very unique style of drawing, and I really like that. 
And neat idea with the letters!

There's something very interesting in how cute and harmless that scene looks like and knowing how terrible it is going to be in just a minute...
Good work, the shoes look amazing! I really like also the other clothes and Digory's hair. It's also nice to see Narnian characters actually look like the little children that they are in the books, instead of the older versions that are so much easier to draw.

I really like this one It feels the way I've pretty much invisioned this scene! Very lovely. I decoded the message I hadn't noticed that they were from the English alphabet when I looked at it on your DeviantART profile a few weeks ago So thanks for pointing that out!! Can't wait to see more, Mel!

Melian, yes, that is what it says. Or part of it, anyway.
Thanks, Silver!
True, Mehinen. I hadn't quite thought of it as cute, since I was focusing more on the characters than telling the story of the moment... but I think if I had pulled back a little from them and showed a bit more of the hall it would give it a tenser and more solemn atmosphere.

Great Job Meltintalle!
I love your shading! I like the font you used for the lettering! Their expressions are also excellent! Awesome job!

I really like it. I think the faces look very well done. 
The clothes are also very detailed. Good work!
