A history of this picture:

Nearly ten years ago, I was discussing with my friend Ryan about the right actors for a hypotetical Dragonlance movie. He wanted Christopher Lambert as Raistlin, I wasn't so sure, then my sister told me she thought Keanu Reeves would fit.
"Allright, let's prove it!". So I scanned a small photo of Mr. Reeves I had in my archive (sorry, don't know the name of the photographer), resized it and painted over it. Ryan liked the outcome and uploaded it on his fansite, and from that moment on nearly every Dragonlance fan started using it without asking me and without giving credits, so a lot of people knows this image but no one seems to know who the hell actually made it.

OMG.

I was looking for you for long time, because as you say, people used your work without giving credit to the person who made it. Now I find you in Deviant, and at last I can say: GREAT WORK.
I love this Raist. I always loved this Raist. I can really see the character in him.

Maybe not, but actually I don't think anyone could fit. :D

VERY nicely done picture.

Keanu would be a TERRIBLE casting decision for Raistlin.

I guess anyone would be. But I still think he looked good, at least. ^^
