Description
After seeing the rather disappointing Wheel of Time "pilot" episode that was recently released (which I assume most WoT fans have seen already), I felt like doing my own take on a moment from the prologue of The Eye of the World. So here you see Lews Therin clutching his dear Ilyena in his arms, after Elan Morin has reminded him of what he has done.It's a rather quick painting done inbetween other projects, but I just had to get it out of my system. It's probably different from what other readers have imagined, but this was as close as I could get to my own vision at the moment. In any case, I hope you enjoy it
For those of you who don't know the Wheel of Time book series by Robert Jordan: I highly recommend checking it out, espiecially if you're into fantasy

WHAT WHAT WHAT TRAILER WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT
I love your version, but ahem WHAT TRAILER I MUST GO FIND THIS

Yup, there's a whole pilot episode dedicated to WoT: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUQE0-β¦ ;
I'll leave you to make up your own opinion about it. But thanks, I'm glad you like my work!

how interesting! Yep, I see what you mean. But that trailer seems soooooo old!!! Like, 15 years ago old! Like time of Xena and Beastmaster and Andromeda old!!!! I think I read somewhere it was cancelled because one of the producers died. SO I guess we don't have to worry about any more episodes!

I think it was the director who passed away, which is a shame, because he seemed like a really good guy. He was apparently just pulled into the project last minute, with crazy deadlines, so I don't blame him at all. It's rather the producers' fault, refusing to give up the rights, and doing a very halfhearted job out of it. Oh well, hopefully something nice will happen in the future

Haha, well Jonas, I certainly wouldn't mind, although I wouldn't want to do it all alone

At least you got her hair color, the pilot episode didn't even get THAT right. xD
I really appreciate your version here, it's almost exactly how I picture the scene myself. The main difference is that I imagined it less broken-up and torn down, and more like the stone had shifted and rolled and warped, but I guess that would be far more difficult to draw, and hard to convey from this angle. I REALLY like this, though, you did a great job capturing the overall feel of the scene as well as details like, as I mentioned, Ilyena's hair. Well done!

Thank you very much!
Yeah, in my mind some of the walls are warped as well, I just couldn't quite fit it in here, so I just made things more broken instead, hehe

"Remember, you fool! Remember your futile attack on Great Lord of the Dark! Remember his counterstroke! Remember! Even now the Hundred Companions are tearing the world apart, and every day a hundred men more join them. What hand slew Ilyena Sunhair, Kinslayer? Not mine. Not mine. What hand struck down every life that bore a drop of your blood, everyone who loved you, everyone you loved? Not mine, Kinslayer. Not mine. Remember, and know the price of opposing Shai'tan!"
Thank you for this.

You're welcome, and thank you for sharing that great piece of litterature

awesome. I watched pilot and sat wondering, " Why is Ilyena Sunhair a brunette?" :/
Your work does capture the despair of the moment.

Thanks a lot! Indeed, I was wondering about the same thing, so I made sure to make her blonde

Thank you, I'm very glad you do

Her hair is BLONDE! Bless you.Β
This is gorgeous and refreshing after that awful "pilot".Β
Lovely texture and lighting.Β

Haha, indeed, I figured her hair colour was an important feature that I simply don't get how they could overlook in the pilot. Thank you very much!

This is really, really good. It captures the mood of the prologue very nicely. And thank you for making Ilyena blonde, as she should be. The dust in the air is also an awesome touch.
And yea that pilot was horrible, but we all know why they did it. >.>

Thanks a lot! I tried to stay as true to the description and feeling of the scene as I could, though there are of course many ways of interpreting it. But I'm glad you like it!

I was thinking, "oh this one looks cool I have to check it out!" then BAM right in the feels...
Nice quick painting Β Β

I felt the exact same way after I saw that pathetic ashcan...

It was really poorly done. I don't blame the actors or the people who were hired to work on it - they were just doing their job - I blame the people responsible for getting it made in the first place, who gave it so little time and care. They were clearly not doing their job.

Wheel of Time is a fantastic read and I think you captured the pain and madness well. I didn't know there was a pilot for it though. I have not seen it as of yet.

Oh my GOD!
Ok I don't know who signed off on that but Robert Jordan is rolling over in his grave! They took the heart wrenching scene of pain, loss, and madness so great that it manifested itself into a mountain where there was none before and turned it into an afternoon chat!!!
I don't know who the actor is but seriously "light forgive me" said three times in monotone only tells the audience that you read your script maybe once and have no idea what you are supposed to be feeling!
It was supposed to be screamed in a maddening rage Β and plea for forgiveness of that which could not be forgiven in his eyes. I hope this stops now, the family should pull their rights and just tell them no you did such a horrible job you can't make it.
I am all for a live action telling of this great work but not like that!Β

Heh, yeah, the pilot really didn't live up to what the majority of fans would expect, I'm afraid. And I'm pretty sure this will lead to a long debate with lawyers in court, seeing as REE's contract was supposed to expire today, as they hadn't managed to get anything on screen for the past 7 years - that is, up until they released this so-called "pilot" this week. Hopefully the Jordan estate will manage to get the rights back anyway.

I have not seen this pilot, and now I don't know if I want to.

I wouldn't recommend watching the pilot - it simply isn't what it should have been. I just hope WoT will someday be made into a series by someone who really cares about the story, and will put in a ton of time, effort and passion to make it work.

It's... not quite as bad as some make it out to be, but still pretty bad in its own right. Ironically, Billy Zane does a rather good job as Ishamael in a creepily upbeat way. Still, one instantly realized he had no idea what this was all about and he looked more like a wandering monk than the stylish guy we were introduced to in the series' prologue. Well, the man's gotta earn his lunch money some way, I guess. And I liked the Victorian/20ies style for the whole thing. All in all it was very obvious the whole thing was just a throwaway thingie to maintain the license rights.

Indeed. I just find it so sad that REE doesn't give WoT the respect it deserves, making such a half-hearted attempt at a "pilot" only to keep rights. I really hope that the rights will return to Bandersnatch.
