Started reading this yesterday evening and couldn’t put it down until I’ve finished reading the Father Duré and the Bikuras story. Simply fantastic! Loved the concept art!

[@MortimerRictusgrin]

Just the image of Sol with Rachel in his arms breaks my heart.

[@stevenswapp4768]

👍Just like their story (To me, at least)

[@lukesmhudson]

Been listening to the audiobook at work and was holding back tears during the Sol Weintraub story yesterday… in a while crocodile

[@rbl4641]

Aenea...my goodness, not as I pictured these wonderful characters from my absolute favorite sci fi series of all time... but why not? The universe Dan Simmons built- breathtaking, moving, detailed, richly detailed- I have mixed feelings about making a series only bc its hard to envisioning it doing justice- but I will certainly be watching... thanks for this post!!

[@spinozasamosa4502]

Finally, a worthy use of AI generated images. That was top class. I thought the Consul looked a bit young but overall a fantastic effort. Makes me want to reread the books

[@patricktaylorphillips510]

Thanks! I've stopped using AI but I do like how these came out.

[@GuitarWithBrett]

Wow, this art is amazing and fits a lot of how I’d imagine this series. Love the Raul Endymion, Lourdesamy, Nemes, and Ouster angel

[@patricktaylorphillips510]

Thanks!

[@zarrowthehorse]

It is AI

[@MarcosSantos-dj6lk]

perfection 10/10

[@maxvecchitto8030]

Amazing job!

[@hitbycars]

Raul looks just like the Chad meme guy, which makes sense

[@HumbleDictator]

The only one I'd see differently is Martin Silenus. He doesn't strike my as the jovial drunk. And I'd make his beard a goatie and give him pointy-ish ears to evoke the Satyr. The other ones are spot on 👌

[@ankamadra72]

Timothy Spall as Martin would be great. And bad words suit him.

[@HumbleDictator]

@@ankamadra72 yes!

[@Barbabapan]

​@@ankamadra72ooooooooooh YES!!!! Timothy, god of acting❤❤❤❤❤

[@jake12466]

@HumbleDictator **goatee

[@Tirfing88]

i've always envisioned silenus as a louder, more bitter, vulgar, angrier danny devito

[@vanhandren]

Amazing job friend. I love all Hyperion and Endymion Cantos, and you nailed these character. 👏

[@anderssandstrom545]

Lovely concept art! Just started reading Hyperion yesterday and this instantly feels like spot on.

[@ashradiohead1]

Beautiful!

[@stevenswapp4768]

My god...that is wonderful

[@ultravioletron]

Ouster is stunning!!

[@Electrojournaliste]

Amazing, your images almost perfectly match how I imagined the characters ! Especially Kassad, I wouldn't have represented him better than you did

[@patricktaylorphillips510]

Thanks!

[@alexjobin623]

These are perfect

[@patricktaylorphillips510]

Thanks!

[@ankamadra72]

Despite that i have immagined Maina Gladsone as Charlotte Rampling, with rest im very much in. However i imagined Kassad as less skinny - he was an Arab and those i know, are heavier built. Johnny and Severn for me will always have face of Ben Whishaw. he would be so great Keats.

[@hanniballahr94]

Started this series in early August. Only about 100 pages left in Rose of Endymion until I'm finished.

[@patricktaylorphillips510]

Nice. I just finished Olympos a few hours ago and have never felt more conflicted about a book.

[@EricRosete]

You nailed it

[@alexcayarga725]

Awesome! My favorite book is the first 2

[@jake12466]

🤔🤔

[@oliviersterbik]

Someone had fun with mid journey? Great idea. I love your renditions of Keats, the Cardinal, Bettik, Nemes, and the Ousters.

[@patricktaylorphillips510]

Thanks! And yes it is midjourney

[@MarcusAurelius-fp7fm]

What about more pics from the cantos?....really really cool work from midjourney.

[@patricktaylorphillips510]

Thanks. I would like to but I just don't have time to work on much art these days.

[@Sidtheriser07]

Yoooo some of them are exactly how I imagined them to be xD

[@igortomasevic348]

Shrike is never drawn well. I don't know why they never make it the way it is described in the books.

[@ReyAlanTitan]

Moneta is the shrike right?

[@patricktaylorphillips510]

I think it's not really clear why she turned into the Shrike in the first book. I'm not sure if Simmons knew where he was going with that plot line at that time.

[@barbarawatson343]

No Sad King Billy? Loved all of these, especially Johnny

[@cloveraniumfreezingraine7870]

thanks maby Ring World bv Larri Niven ?

[@patricktaylorphillips510]

I haven't read it.

[@cloveraniumfreezingraine7870]

@@patricktaylorphillips510 I advise you to read it, this book is simply incredible, I did not believe when I read that such a book could be written in 1970. the technologies that are described there even now have not occurred to many science fiction writers

[@patricktaylorphillips510]

Thanks for the recommendation!@@cloveraniumfreezingraine7870

[@CykaPsyko]

I think Gina Carano would be perfect to play Brawne Lamia

[@jesusjaramillo3045]

Brawne looks like Gina Carano

[@jake12466]

YES! That's what I picture, too!

[@joelaballister8567]

Whenever I read books I usually have to cast the characters in my head. So for Hyperion it was: Lenar Hoyt: Dev Patel Fedmahn Kassad: Oscar Isaac Sol Winteraub: Tom Ellis Martin Silenus: Michael Sheen Brawne Lamia: Anya Taylor-Joy The Consul: Ben Affleck Hey Masteen: Idris Elba Father Dure: Sean Bean Meina Gladstone: Lucy Liu Johnny (Keats): David Corenswet Moneta: Sofia Boutella BB- Peter Dinklage (I realize he doesn’t fit the age in the book, but that’s who I saw)

[@Lnglingg]

This that ai bruh

[@patricktaylorphillips510]

Obviously, as stated in the description.
