Chickenhound does not even appear in that chapter, though. It also doesn't fit with the illustration of his mother Sela, who is clearly wearing clothes and using her paws as hands, as Redwall characters typically do.
This image...
...shows that the illustrator clearly knew how to draw Alder correctly, which makes the later one very ironic.
There are indeed some that don't make sense, such as the first chapter of Redwall's and The Quest.
Some chapters have illustrations that don't even fit. For example, Chapter 26 of Mattimeo features an illustration clearly of General Ironbeak, even though Ironbeak isn't introduced until the following chapter. Chapter 48 of the same book features an illustration of the Wearet, who, too, isn't active in the chapter.
As much as I like seeing the Russian illustrations in that gallery, I'm not seeing the whole picture; I wonder if is there anywhere online where I can view each chapter icon individually. I haven't seen the Russian books anywhere, and I'm interested to see each illustration.
One Russian illustration I particularly like is the one of Rocangus the falcon; it's a real blessing considering there isn't a picture of him anywhere else. I'm personally wondering if it, however, is just part of a picture, too, and if someone could upload that whole picture if they have it.
