Description Another Wheel of Time fan art. A quick stylistic painting of Rand Al'thor from a scene in one of the books involving lightning, Callandor and soldiers


Hope you guys like it even though it is a very different style from my usual paintings. I couldn't think of a better way to capture insanity and grief with clean lines and blended colors. The somewhat visible character reaching for him is Davram Bashere

Really nice! Are you still taking requests on other scenes from the books?

Thank you very much! Sorry for the super delay response. I have been very busy with work lately. I am always taking requests, I just don't get to them immediately Β

Found it! I like it! Β Dark, darkness takes human forms, pushing down. Side note: have you heard by Ride into Obsession by Blind Guardian? give it a Β try maybe it'll spark something. That's my favourite soundtrack for the book

Oh, is this the one from Path of Daggers where he tries to go after the Seanchan with Calandor and ends up losing control?

Yea, when he ends up killing both friendly and enemy soldiers.Β

very "impressionistic" style but somehow darker and deeper, as dark and deep as rand's madness
I love the theme, I appreciate che choice of colours, I like your artistic choice. Congrats!

This is really good. Really emotional. And I like the style, it's very stressing and captures the feeling of the scene perfectly.

Thank you very much! I really appreciate the compliment! I have had this picture declined by some groups because of being unrefined I guess artistic interpretation isn't as relevant as making your paintings look polished

DrowElfMorwen In reply to endave [2014-02-06 02:15:44 +0000 UTC]

Whatttt? This is definitely a recognized style, but even if not, it's a great, emotional piece.

Oh well...voting for submissions is highly subjective. Just depends on what the people looking at your painting like to see.

I love this series so much and your art makes me love it even more. Would you ever consider making a wallpaper for the series? I've only found maybe 3 good ones. PLEASE consider making one. Great picture!

It is absolutely my pleasure to create these paintings knowing there are people out there who really appreciate them! I am always open to different ideas on what to paint. Lately I have been too busy with work so not a lot of painting time. I am hoping to get back on the swing of things soon.

NICE!


Easily one of my favourites of yours. Β I love the colours you've used & the quick, erratic style of the image in general portrays the theme beautifully.


Loving this

Oh wow! This is a fairly big deal coming from you!! You are my best and most honest critique on here, so I am surprised you pegged this as one of your favorites! I let my artistic interpretation lead the way and this was the result. I guess sometimes it is good to let your whim lead the way

I think you did at that. The first time I read that particular part I felt a bit alienated and deeply sad about what Rand did, so it's an emotional part for me. I reread it not too long ago, but it wasn't the same as the first time.
