Limping to the foot of the bed, he lowered himself there and laid Callandor across his knees, bloody hands resting on the glowing blade. With that in his hands, even one of the Forsaken would fear him. In a moment he would send for Moiraine to Heal his wounds. In a moment he would speak to the Aiel outside, and become the Dragon Reborn again. But for now, he only wanted to sit, and remember a shepherd named Rand Al'Thor.

~Wheel of Time book Four, The Shadow Rising by Robert Jordan

I am so happy to have this done. It makes me so happy!

There is a SERIOUS lack of decent Wheel of Time fanart out there. For reals. I decided to take a favorite scene of mine and illustrate it as I see fit. Oh the angst! I haven't done something nasty and bloody in a long time. And yet I wanted it to be serene and calm too, despite the carnage. Rand looks like I think he should, and not like the 40-year old Darrel Sweet makes him look like! Argh! Also, to practice composition as designed for a book cover.

I really feel for Rand, I mean gosh the mud he gets dragged through! He's probably my favorite character of the books, he goes through so much change and Mister Jordan gives him no respite

Then again, I am only on book 8. Still plugging my way through. And yes, this is before Rand got the dragon tattoos from Rhuidean.

HAY GIZE CHECK IT OUT SOME CLOSEUPS
cos this image is HUGE and so many details get lost when I can't post the ginormous full sized thing :C I like how his face turned out but you can't see too much of it in the full image.

"The level of detail in =kittehness's reflections is just unprecedented, and their skills at CGing are marvelous. I particularly love all the feathers strewn over the floor, and the blood smears on the wall are scarily realistic. I'm almost at a lack of words for describing how intricate this piece is, and will have to resort to: Wow." ( Suggested by ~MissingHorcrux and Featured by $aunjuli )

I've seen this a bunch of times, and I kept thinking it was official artwork, because it looks exactly how I imagine it! I can't believe it took my this long to add it to my favorites. But yes, there's definitely a lack of Wheel of Time fan art.

brb, need to re-read the whole series after seeing this picture
you've made me especially excited to get to the shadow rising which was typically one of my favourite in the series anyway

GREAT JOB! "There is a SERIOUS lack of decent Wheel of Time fanart out there" THANK YOU. I thought I was the only one who thought this. So true. On book 5 and loving it.

Awesome work!

The vulnerability of Rand in this is perfect. I feel like you have captured the fear and sadness of a young man who has the fate of the world riding on his shoulders and he has no idea what he is doing. The scene really shows him how much he needs others. The blood running down him could almost be tears of blood mingled with the feathers and how large Callandor appears to be beside him, it conveys the truest emotions of Rand.
