Sometimes one set of illustrations for a book or series, especially a classic, becomes so ubiquitous that those images become our cultural idea of what the scene or character "looks like," regardless of how it's described in the text. There are three ways this can work. First, the illustrations may accurately follow the text. (This is generally the case when these illustrations have been vetted by the authors themselves.) Second, the illustrations may include prominent details that don't contradict the text, but also aren't mentioned. Third, the illustrations may outright contradict the textual descriptions. |

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas includes the iconic and crazed cartoon illustrations of Ralph Steadman. The film adaptation includes a Steadman-drawn Mickey Mouse on the hitchhiker's shirt. | |

The Good Soldier Švejk: Švejk's appearance is not described in the text but Josef Lada's illustrations are a staple of most editions of the book. Most people imagine him as a rather fat man with a very round and perpetually smiling face. | |

For many Dark Sun players, Brom provided the definitive look for Athas with his novel and sourcebook covers. When the Fourth Edition campaign guide came out, many called for Wizards of the Coast to hire him for the cover. They didn't. | |

Paul Kidby's illustrations to The Last Hero, adding such details as Ponder's "Actually I Am A Rocket Wizard" Fun T-Shirt, now as ubiquitous to the character as the robe that looks like an old-fashioned anorak (which is in the text). Defictionalisation has occurred. | |

Snape is never described as having a beard in Harry Potter, but the goatee Mary Grandpre gave him became Fanon. However, it's been largely superseded by Alan Rickman's portrayal of him in the movies. Before the films, a lot of Harry Potter merchandise seemed to copy the look of Mary Grandpre's illustrations, including kind-of-sort-of keeping her "soft geometry" art style. Perhaps most significantly in the long run, it was Mary Grandpre who invented the "Harry Potter" logo with that "P" that looks like a lightning bolt. It carried over to the films and beyond. |

Tomcat Blue Eyes' Diaries: Blue Eyes and Kiki are both explicitly identified as Siamese cats so they should be silvery or white with various forms of darker point colouration. Helena Zmatlíková's illustrations depict them as blue-grey cats, similar to Russian Blue or British Shorthair Blue, albeit with blue almond-shaped eyes. The charming illustrations are included in all editions of the book and all covers of audio books so most people imagine Blue Eyes and Kiki as grey kittens. | |

The Lord of the Rings had this before the films did, with the illustrations by John Howe and Alan Lee being the most prevalent visual depiction of the story. Peter Jackson brought both of them on as concept artists for these and The Hobbit trilogy, and such was their influence that some designs were put in unaltered and illustrations recreated as actual shots. John Howe serves as conceptual designer for Amazon's The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power too. | |

Going back to Tenniel and Alice in Wonderland, the price tag on the Mad Hatter's hat ("In This Style 10/6", the fraction being ten shillings and sixpence in the old monetary system) was Tenniel's own invention and nowhere to be found on the text. It has been retained in some form or another in almost all adaptations. It was also apparently Tenniel's choice to draw the Lion and the Unicorn in Through the Looking Glass as caricatures of Gladstone and Disraeli. |

Chris Riddell's illustrations in The Edge Chronicles are considered so intrinsic to the work that his name is featured on the covers with the same amount of emphasis as the author, Paul Stewart. And his artwork is so beloved by fans that there was significant backlash when publishers chose to replace his artwork on the covers. | |

When a 30th anniversary edition of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark was released with new illustrations by Brett Helquist, it was not well received by longtime fans of the books. Helquist's illustrations were okay, but they just weren't Stephen Gammmel's. As one article comparing the two pointed out, it was the original illustrations, not the text, that terrified children and stayed with them long after they'd grown up. | |

The original illustrations from Conan the Barbarian's magazine serialization depict him as the now-stereotypical Loincloth-clad brute, but in the actual text what Conan felt to be one of the advantages of his stature was the ability to wear very heavy armor (usually chainmail over leather) while remaining agile and unencumbered. Conan generally wore whatever attire was appropriate for the climate and culture he was in at the moment, so there were a few instances where he actually did wear a loincloth, but certainly not as much as the illustrations would have you believe. | |

In the Magic School Bus books, the text and illustrations complement each other, with the illustrations and dialogue frequently including details the text leaves out. For example, the text of most of the books doesn't mention any of the children's names, but they are all worked into the dialogue. | |

The Pauline Baynes illustrations of The Chronicles of Narnia. She contradicted Lucy's Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold, but people still believed in her chosen colors for the rest of the (never-described) kids enough to complain about the Adaptation Dye-Job when the recent movies gave Peter blond hair and Edmund brown/black hair, the reverse of how she drew them. | |

Ciaphas Cain is always depicted in illustrations carrying a Bolt Pistol, despite using a Laspistol in the books. This is apparently deliberate, to reflect the fact that the images are meant to be ridiculously over-the-top propaganda posters. One later book does mention that he has a Bolt Pistol to brandish dramatically for portrait sittings and photo ops, but he still almost always uses his trusty Laspistol in actual combat (he sometimes has the chance to take something bigger, but always keeps the laspistol due to being a better shot with it. Considering he's taken out purestrain genestealers and ork warlords with the weakest standard weapon in the setting, you kind of see his point). | |
