When a book is adapted into a movie, sometimes the characters don’t look like you’d expect. Die-hard fans of stories adapted to movies often have mixed feelings about it because they already had an image of the characters in their minds.

That’s exactly what artist Ivan Rebikow did. The results were pretty cool and I think any fans of the movie would love to check this out.
