The fan pencil at work
It is very likely due to the announcement of Fable III to the world that we're seeing in increase in Fable fan art. So I made a quick collection of the latest (the better) pieces sent to us. One of them was made by a 12year old sister of a vivid fan, I hope you can spot it.

"My perfect man" says Imogen (+codes)
Once in a while our Webmaster kicks into action and goes through the mountain of emails she received from the public. The odd one gets forwarded to the rest of the company either because it's just too funny, too stupid or too interesting not to. The last one we received was more a request and one...

Lionhead still in the Mayhem

Fable II Takes ELSPA Platinum
