Rand Al'Thorby ~merriya

Fan Art / Digital Art / Painting & Airbrushing / Books & Novels

A character study of Rand al'Thor from the Wheel of Time books. I've had these books on my shelf for a while, decided I'd start reading them hoping to finish the series by the time the 14th (?)book will be released. That should take some time, considering I've just started the third book and I hear the series tends to 'drag-on' at certain points

That Blind Guardian album is to blame as well :/ I had other books to finish before I tackled this.

Anyhow, no spoilers

This was half digital and half traditional, had no idea where to submit it :/

OMG Rand instantfavloveyouforever! Though I must say that Mat has stolen my heart beyond any repair.
I love the series. I might make my next tattoo WoT related.

~merriya Apr 20, 2012

Thank you! I'm going to get around to drawing Mat(and perrin) too eventually. So many characters to draaaw! A WoT tattoo sounds awesome!

I never did finish that series - I think I made it to about book five or six before I stopped. Anyhow, it looks really good! I definitely like your version better than the ones on the covers.

~merriya Feb 18, 2012

Ooh~ thank you

, I do hope to finish the series, I hate leaving a book or series unread... but it happens o_o;

~Hreztil Feb 21, 2012 Student Traditional Artist

You're welcome! Yeah, I don't really like leaving series' unfinished, either. The remaining books are still on my list of 'books to read someday', but that's a pretty long list.

Oooh, update! My goodness, these used to be my favorite books when I was younger, and I really should continue them now that the always amazing Brandon Sanderson has picked up the writing reins. Blind Guardian has a song about WoT now?

Also, I love Rand in your style! This comes closer to the way I see him than the cover art does. *shudders at the cover art*

~merriya Feb 18, 2012

Thank you ^0^, Blind Guardian has two songs about the Wot [link] and [link]

May they make you continue reading the books. Which was the last one you'd read?

~hinitsu Feb 2, 2012

OH Rand you silly moron the more you try to avoid bad end and mistakes, the more you do !
Nice composition and lighting !

~merriya Feb 18, 2012

Thank you :3, I do hope I complete this

~hinitsu Mar 16, 2012

Then both of us shall hope for that. It is nice to have you back please do not disappear again!
