Description I've been wanting to draw a Tairen High Lady for a long time - Tairens are among my favourites of the Wheel's peoples.

Don't ask me why she turned out looking sad - she just did. My friend thinks it's because she was secretly in love with High Lord Darlin and she's upset that he's with Caraline Damodred now, lol.

from the Wheel of Time series, by Robert Jordan.

This is lovely...what did you use?
And, really, who isn't in love with High Lord Darlin?

thank you!

I used coloured pencils - I'm not as good with colour as with just plain pencil, but I'm trying my best.

Well, you're so very right - I'm certainly in love with High Lord Darlin, the guy is amazing!

It's funny but I always think it's strange when people say they like the Tairens (Except High Lord Darlin, who is made of awesome...and their names all end in "mon" which makes me think they are really digimon in disguise)...they're like my least favorite next to the Children of the Light (faiiiil.) and the Seanchan. I think that's what's so fantastic about WoT though...you can form these kinds of opinions about these ridiculously real cultures. Oh Robert Jordan <3

And I happen to think you did wonderfully with the colored pencils! I totally know what you mean about being better with just pencil though...I'm the same way

I can see why people don't like the Tairens - they're among the most arrogant (surpassed only by the Seanchan I think!), they're scheming and manipulative. But I can't help it - I just like the scheming bastards! I think it's mostly because their country and culture sorta reminds me of Spain... And I was also positively influenced by Juilin, and the Defenders of the Stone.

And, like you said, Darlin is made of awesome (though I used to dislike him when he was rebelling against Rand, lol)

Hahaha, well anyone who thinks anything of Tar Valon appreciates a solid scheming people (except for the part where Tairens hate Aes Sedai, but whatever) And Siuan Sedai is Tairen, which does raise my opinion of them in my mind. I do ADORE Spain, but I'm too stuck on the fishing culture in Tear to see any connection to Spain...
I like Julin too, except for the whole Amathera thing because that's kind of...awkward. Actually, maybe just don't like Amathera, haha

Yeah, the thing about Tairens and Aes Sedai annoys me too. But eh.

I think it's Siuan's fault about the fishing bit.

As for Amathera... I don't mind her either way.

Eh, Darlin is alright. Not anything too spectacular. But I'm not sure who I'd go for, though. Gawyn used to be my choice before he became a prick...But I think I am leaning more towards Mat now, for some odd reason. He always tries to play the hero, however much he argues against it.

There's SO many men to choose from in the Wheel, I can't say I've got one favourite, because I just can't pick just one!

But Mat is awesome - plus he's evolved SO MUCH since the beginning, where he was such an inconsiderate brat.

Whynieth-Daedrianna In reply to googoolini [2010-11-30 12:14:41 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, he has. And there are a lot of them to choose from. lol. Goodness knows what I would do if I were a Green. lol.

You'd probably have 4 Warders, maybe?

Gosh, I don't know how many I'd have. lol. Which Ajah would you choose?

Most probably Brown. I adore Greens, but I'm not dynamic enough to be a Green - nor a Blue. Red is completely out of the question, as is White - as I'm not very logical either, lol. Brown would probably be ideal for bookworm, history-and-mythology-loving me. Or perhaps Yellow, because I think I'd love helping others.

Would you go for Green?

Whynieth-Daedrianna In reply to googoolini [2010-11-30 22:53:01 +0000 UTC]

Green or Brown. Brown for the bookworm, Green for the adventures. lol. White is out of the question for me, too. As well as Red. Yellow is...idk. I'm not a Healer, as much as I am like Nynaeve in attitude. And Blue is a little too...Secretive? I don't know how to describe it. Blue lifestyle would be far too complicated for me.

Excellent! I'm actually reading ToM right now. Halfway Through......I can't read it fast enough.

Thank you!

I read it within a week - at some point I realized I'm at page 500 and I was so shocked, I was like, 'where did the first 500 pages go?!'

Lol. I just started reading it Saturday night for the first time. My fiance bought it for me when he came to visit, but I didn't want to read while I was trying to spend time with him. A new college term started for me today, so I'm going to have to read quickly before I get hounded by homework. Halfway through in two days isn't too bad a pace, though. Lol. I'm dying to see more of your visual interpretations of characters. You're so skilled at it.

thank you!

I'm usually faster than that, but I also took a 3-day-break while visiting my boyfriend (otherwise I'd be like 'hmmm? what honey? yeah, just let me read a bit more...' LOL).

I wanna draw Mat. But it'll probably be a while, because he's hard for me to pin down, if I can say it that way. For the time being, Min is next, then Narishma, then maybe Egwene.

Whynieth-Daedrianna In reply to googoolini [2010-11-29 21:19:51 +0000 UTC]

EGWENE! I'm so excited about Egwene. Min, too, I guess, but she isn't my favorite...

googoolini In reply to Whynieth-Daedrianna [2010-11-30 09:59:23 +0000 UTC]

No, I don't like Min either. But I feel like I have to draw her, if only because without having her, Rand would be completely and utterly stark raving insane by now, and would have fallen into the Dark One's grasp completely.

We've got to at least give her that.
