A black pen drawing of Trollocs and Myrddraal charging under heavy rain, with lightnings and blasts in their ranks. They are shown as dark silhouettes, with rain as white stripes above them in high contrast.

#WoTtober Day 7
Rain (or, rather, storm) reminds me of the attack on Algiarin's Manor.
I tried to make a stylized thing in style of Sin City, you can see how well it went.

Shake thy spears at torrent’s end;

“Don't all of you Taraboners wear veils all the time?” He really shouldn't be talking when he needed all his breath to focus on walking, she thought. She just had to talk more than him.

“Please don't fall, I can't carry you,” she told him, and he chuckled.
“I'll do my best, your Highness. “
Was he playing along to trick her and steal the fish or just for fun?

He kept looking at her for a while longer and she was about to say another silly thing but he smiled.
Almost a smile, because he then said, in a low, tired voice:
“Good to meet you, My Queen of Fish” and tried to bow to her and

“I'm the Fish Queen!” she said, pointing at the basket on her head. She really shouldn't keep talking.
But he looked like he might need a meal and she was on her way to making a good one.

Laras caught a fish! A big one, this time, she'd be able to make a whole meal for two out of it. It was unfortunate, really, that she had nobody to share it with. She was still standing with her feet in the cold water, the fish neatly tucked

The wind was not the beginning, but it was a beginning. Along the narrower streets of Tar Valon it blew, teasing the traveler's cloak and the woman's hair in her loose bun.
Laras really wanted to work in the White Tower.

Inked sketch showing part of an Aiel warrior's face in close-up as they raise their black veil. The veil covers the end of their nose, and two fingers of the hand drawing it across their face are visible in the corner. A pair of light-coloured eyes stare intensely at the viewer; they're looking slightly up in a Kubrick stare kind of way. Inside the actual frame of black and white zigzags, the folds of a grey shoufa frame the image from top and sides.

#WoTtober 6: veil (alternative title: Prepare To Die 😅)

I swear I wanted to do a dangerous looking Aiel *before* I saw @takoyaqih.bsky.social's one!

I didn't even try for the stylised chapter icon aesthetic with this. Which ironically made it *quicker* to draw.

A digital portrait painting with visible sketch lines and hatch shading, of a woman wearing a veil that hangs from ear to ear and covers her face below her eyes. A light hits her face somewhere from the right side of the painting. Her eyes are open and staring straight toward the viewer, but look somewhat lifeless. Her long blonde hair is fully braided with small braids and she is wearing a high-collared jacket. The jacket and veil are red, as are her irises. Her pupils have the shape of the Flame of Tar Valon, black in color, hinting at a darker Ajah. She is framed by a brighter red watercolor texture, while the colors of the entire painting are in parts muted, in parts low-saturated. The painting has the vibe of something like a wanted poster, a passport picture or a portrait from an old academic book. The artist's signature is in the bottom right corner, along with the year 2025.

First thought was of a red veil, so here's a Liandrin maybe. #WoTtober

Portrait (shoulder-up) fanart of Far Dareis Mai, a Maiden of the Spear, from the Wheel of Time book series. Her face covered by her black veil, only her eyes are visible, looking at the viewer. Her form slightly obscured in shadow.

Always be kind, always respect each other, always take care…

The #veil of darkness
might have the #power
to hide a million sins
but the #abused will rise up
and the perpetrators will fall
those who have cruelty
on their hands
will stare their guilt
full in the face
the sweetness of justice
will prevail

A very simple black ink drawing of a stylised sphere with jagged cracks spreading from an irregular hole.

I really wasn't feeling it today, but yay, I did something anyway! (This one's definitely a case of "it's the thought that counts")

#WoTtober 5: fall - or the beginning of an ending. (Don't worry, this'll only make sense if you've read TSR ch26 and/or seen s3e4)

Let’s lift the #veil
From this old tale
Reveal what was lost
Bring back the Light

Let the #power flow
Forgotten though
Hidden it might be
It’s time to shine again

This world has been
#abused enough now
It’s time to rebuild, renew
Let us bring it back together

Veil is pretty predictable, isn't it?
But I think I start to draw Tuon more like I want to.

Scheming G’Roth was #foaming. His anger great. They claimed his opinions were caused by #mental #illness and not his visions. He would find a way out. To escape Reform his #armada and get revenge. He had #zest, a hunger to see them fall. They had shaved him, made him #bald. His #fall had been great. His trusted- They all betrayed him, #stored him here. Before the sun reaches its next #zenith He would find his way out. He hoped. This prison couldn’t hold him. Not him! ‘I won’t #advert my intentions to them’ he thought they couldn’t predict him.

Fall is a rather obvious choice, but I could not think of something better.

BTW, I wonder till which point of the series should I put #WoTBookSpoilers? Don't want to spoil the story for anyone, but with WoT's length almost everything ends up as a spoiler... #WoTSkies #art

Yet stone abides, iron hard;

A digital drawing of an Ogier man giving the singing performance of his lifetime, like a proper opera singer. Done in simple lineart drawn in thin black crayon and colored with not fully saturated colors. The Ogier has a receding hairline, curly short greyish brown hair and beard, and thick eyebrows that hang down, framing his face. He has a large nose and pointy ears that end in tufts of hair. He is wearing a light beige cravat scarf and a simple brown vest over a green shirt. He has his hands up in front of him, his mouth agape in song, a furrowed brow and closed eyes. The image is framed on the top and bottom by foliage made out of trefoil leaves that resemble maple leaves. The artist's signature is in the bottom left corner, along with the year 2025.

Here's a silly illustration of an Ogier performing with the Voice, as it is sometimes called in some places.
