Description
[2010 edit] FML THIS PICTURE IS 8 YEARS OLD *sob. But this got requested for the WoT gallery so I may as well say yes. PLEASE GO HERE FOR SOME LESS SUCKY MAT: [link]-------------
(My internet usage is not quite dead yet, and the network guy is coming on thursday, but I wanted to upload this now~... *glares at brother* You give me petty enough time on this comp so don't annoy me!
She pointed to the ruby hilted dagger, careful not to let her finger touch it "This is from Shadar Logoth. There is not a pebble of that city which is not tainted and dangerous to bring outside the walls, and this is far more than a pebble. The evil that killed Shadar Logoth is in it, and in Mat, now, too. Suspicion and hatred so strong that even those closest are seen as enemies, rooted so deep in the bone that eventually the only thing left is to kill.... It will have waxed and waned in him, what he is in the heart of him fighting what the contagion of Mashadar sought to make him.... Soon, if it does not kill him first, he will spread that evil like a plague whever he goes. Just as one scratch from that blade is enough to infect and destroy, so, soon, a few minutes with Mat will be just as deadly"

"Old Friends and New Threats" p633
Fear the malicious glint~
The title comes from another quote (not quite as long...);
"The armies of Manetheren came and found the gates of Aridhol torn down, no living thing inside the walls, but something worse than death. No enemy had come to Aridhol but Aridhol. Suspicion and hate had given birth to something that fed on that which created it, something locked in the bedrock on which the city stood.... Men spoke of Aridhol no more. They named it Shadar Logoth, The Place Where the Shadow Waits, or more simply, Shadow's Waiting"

Wow. Mat looks so totally awsomely evil. The art is amazing. You really captured the feel of Mat's character from that period of the book!

I think i'ts a really good pic of Mat. I've read the books up to (still haven't finished) Lord of Chaos, and most of the other pics of them look... weird. Good job!

Great.
You give him that "pretty boy/rogue" look that he comes into later.

Hurrah!
I love Mat's 'awkward' tainted dagger phase - I always found the descriptions of him all sweaty and viperish strangely attractive, so thanks very much for this

I like it, but why'd you cut off the dagger point? The whole picture goes down to that point and its not there o_O You should add it, maybe even coming out of the frame. Oooo symbolism
Nice hands.. and the look he has.. I don't know if thats his sickness or he's going craaaazy! Both

Wow! I really love what you've done with this piece. It's awsome! I wish I could do stuff like that... well I guess we all have to start somewhere. The lighting, texture, style, details, expression, color choice, and shading are great. The only part that doesn't exactly make sense is the transparent hair over the left eye. Overall a wonderfully done piece!

This is one of the best "Mat's" I've ever seen. It suits the mood for the story line very well. And I think the slight similarity to the anime style. Very nice.

wai~~~ very very beautiful! I like the realistic toning of the face...and the hands are so.......GOOD. The way you put in such a range of tones is wonderful, and the way you made the eye and the dagger to be the main foci (well to me anyways, I noticed those first) is so professional!
ps. hehehe I don't mind that you commented for my drawing after a while...kakkakaka as long as you like it, i don't mind anything : D thanks for your nice comments on the pic!
