Description
Another Wheel of Time fan art depicting my take on Elayne's "double power" as both queen and Aes Sedai
The dress was heavily referenced from ReddEra's Elayne and somewhat the face. I thought she did a great job of capturing how she and Aviendha should look. I hope you like it! Next on my hit list is Lanfear....stay tuned.Some other Wheel of time paintings:
Great thanks to for giving me permission to use and edit [link] for the background!
Reference used for dress [link]
Also...I did not paint the crown. I just discovered the mixer brush while watching some tutorials and decided to goof around with it /lazy.

for an average blond beauty princess, that one has a great mind of her own.

I love this! I think you're maybe one of the few who sees this double power she has. I like to think about what kind of effect she could have on people, her nation and the whole world in general, especially when you get to the last book. I think you did a good job of displaying this duality, as she does have some sort of double responsibility towards her people, as well as towards the Aes Sedai and therefore to the world at large, or so I think.

Thank you very much!! I have always thought of her as a double power that could easily be abused. Good thing she is a nice person lol

Thank you very much for the comment and also for the great comment on Dumai's Wells! I love hearing feedback on my paintings, it is the only way I can keep improving and getting the facts right lol. I tend to mix things up when I am painting my WoT fan art so I really appreciate honest pointers. You should try your hand at painting if you remotely feel like you would enjoy it! I am 100x better than when I started, which I am too embarrassed to show on here lol...but you shouldn't write it off just because you think you don't have the skill

Sorry for the late response....been on vacation
I appreciate getting feedback from people and I enjoy it! I don't paint for money or a living, my only joy is the interaction with people who appreciate my work and help me grow as an artist with their pointers. Keep em coming

Is anyone else's resolution off? *shakes DevArt in case* She's all stretched out in mine, lengthways :/
Anyway, very symbolic! I love the natural fall of her hair (though I'd like a bit more red in it and have her eyebrows match) and that wonderful sapphire colour of her eyes is spot on. Definitely one of the better Elaynes. Maybe one day, when you've gone through everyone

Thanks a lot for the positive comment! I updated the hair to have a bit more red in it. I guess I will have to go back some time and paint the crown. I just got burnt out and took the cheap route

I like this a lot. The shadow on her left boob is making it look flat though. (our right side). I would try extending the highlight further towards the front. The right one is good, but the other one is distracting.

Thanks a lot for the compliment and feedback! I see what you mean. I was trying to make it look like the corset was pushing her boobs in and up...instead I made it look flat lol. I will probably fix it....thanks!!

You're welcome. We're here to help each other

Hey Endave,
While I find it very flattering that you looked at the dress I came up with for Elayne I would like it if you asked to use the design. Since it is so similar to my design I was very surprised when I came upon your piece. I'm not asking you to take it down because this is original and you did not copy. You did a nice job with her face and hair. Next time maybe zoom out a little because her hands are almost out of the image. Thank you for your comments and remembering to have my name and a link to my original piece. If you painted over images you might want to have this under photo-illustration. It depends on how much you painted. Nice job though.
Please just let me know next time if you want to heavily reference something of mine.
I really like your Aviendha where she is laying under the red sheets, great job on that one.
Redd (Ariel B.)

I apologize for not asking for your permission before referencing your dress design. I painted everything except the background and crown. Thanks for your compliments on Aviendha and for the constructive criticism on how I can improve this painting. I am happy to get pointers anytime.
