<br />
Back in [[2013]], we first explored the [[User_blog:LordTBT/News:Redwall_Collectors_Community:_Redwall_exists_in_China,_and_it%27s_Amazing|Chinese editions of ''Redwall'']]. It was during this review that we learned that one of the editions of ''[[Redwall]]'' contained original artwork that we hadn't seen before, and I observed that it looked like editions of ''[[Mossflower]]'' and ''[[Mattimeo (book)|Mattimeo]]'' were also published by the same company.<br />
<br />
The Redwall Wiki library is now in possession of those very editions of ''Mossflower'' and ''Mattimeo'', and I'm pleased to announce my hunch was correct- more never-before-seen artwork was inside!<br />
<br />
I am going to dub this collection the "CFP" or China Film Press trilogy. Each back cover keeps the same framing.<br />

From what I can tell, I think each book has a different illustrator (or group of illustrators). To me, the artwork is very, very different depending on the book.<br />
<br />
We'll start with ''Mossflower'' - 野猫终结者.<br />
<br />
The strange thing about these drawings is that most of them feature the character or characters from behind, or at a distance. It was rare that a close-up or detailed drawing was available, and it sort of became comical as I perused the book...maybe THIS time we'll see someone's face...nope! The characters also tend to be tall and lean, which very much reminds me of the fan artwork of [[Erin the Swordmaker]].<br />

Next is ''Mattimeo'' - 大战蒙面狐狸.<br />
<br />
What a huge difference! There's a lot to take in here...and I'll just let the art speak for itself. Wow!<br />

This isn't the last we'll see of Chinese ''Redwall'' here at the Redwall Wiki, and we have many more features coming soon! Maybe sooner than you think! ;)<br />
