Rand, Aviendha, Min and Elayne are all from the Wheel of Time series.

UPDATE! I fixed Aviendha's eyes. Green.

His sword does that kind of flamey glowy thing... or maybe I wasn't paying close enough attention?

He had the ability to make a sword of fire out of the One Power, the handle was also made of flames. Otherwise, great artwork. Sorry. That detail just bothered me.

Very nice. I am glad to see more Wheel of Time fan art out there in recent years. WoT needs more recognition.
I really enjoy how you drew the two wetlanders clutching to Rand and how Aviendha has her spear. Speaking of which,the Aiel have short spears, meaning they are about two feet long with a one foot blade. I only mention this because you mentioned fixing Aviendha's eye color so I thought you might want to be as accurate as possible. Also her veil should be black.
I'm not much of an artist and don't know if these are easy fixes or how old this picture is, but I really like it and would like to see a completed version if you do decide to make those changes.
Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the tips! I probably won't go back and make changes--but I really, REALLY do appreciate knowing, just in case I decide to do another one! Always glad to meet another WoT fan! Thanks so much for the comment!

They don't call him Randy Rand for nothin'! I love the details you put into Elayne and how Rand has a dark, almost haunted look to him.

While she's a bit small to begin with, Rand's also 6 foot 6.

That's just how I envisioned her--small and boyish. Thanks!

Very good rendition of the characters! Aviendha looks like she could rip them all to shreds if she wanted with those arms! A perfect Min. She was supposed to look a little boyish. You did a fine job of creating that image...she still looks much more like a girl. Elayne couldn't look more regal!

Makena In reply to milletodd [2012-01-19 21:50:40 +0000 UTC]

Aw, thanks so much! And dang! I've only met one other carpenter, and he was -ripped- from work. I think you could probably give her a run for her money--that's hard work!

milletodd [2012-01-19 20:55:08 +0000 UTC]

I love this rendition! Im a carpenter and Aviendha may have more ripped forearms than me, but she was a badass! I think you did a great job on Min and Elayne. Min looks like a girl that could possibly be mistaken as a boy, but truely looks more like a girl.

The clothes and style are amazing, and I really like the faces. Min looks a bit too boyish though in my opinion.

Makena In reply to Tim811 [2011-05-12 20:35:50 +0000 UTC]

What do you suggest I try to attain a more girlish look? (I'm seeking your genuine feedback! From my point of view, big eyes, big pink lips and a heart-shaped face seem girly, but I clearly have a bias! ) It's been a while since I read the first book with her in it, but wasn't she mistaken for a boy at first?

darkcladorange [2011-04-14 02:50:08 +0000 UTC]

Love the "strung out" look on Rand's Face. I feel that if I had to deal with those three I'd look like that too.

Seriously, right!? I'm a girl and I couldn't figure out half of their convoluted machinations. Poor Rand.

love the picture, but, (no offence meant), rand looks kind of like a crack addict :/

Makena In reply to Sertii [2011-04-02 14:53:50 +0000 UTC]

No offense taken. He is somewhat of a 'true source' addict, isn't he?

This may be me just quibbling but I think you depicted Aviendha in her cadi'n'sor clothing from back was she was a Far Dareis Mai despite the fact she is dressed mostly as a Wise One whenever we see her.

Makena In reply to gamerguru [2011-03-20 11:39:01 +0000 UTC]

I haven't read beyond when she's Far Dareis Mai (or rather, she hasn't started acting like a wise one), so wouldn't know.

rand is looking crazy for sure. hope he doesn't tear the ladies up with his awesome sword.... well it might one way or the other D:

Makena In reply to Ryonyanko [2011-02-06 15:50:43 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, but I think in Rand's case he'd be far less interesting if he were completely sane. Sanity in his case is far over-rated.

Rand and Elayne are my favorites. Rand's expression is, suffice to say, insane and Elayne is beautifully depicted.

Makena In reply to MidnightNomad [2011-01-31 02:41:26 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! Of the three women, I think Elayne is also my fav, but a close tie with Min. I'm eager to see how things unfold!

ninninja24 [2011-01-30 14:55:14 +0000 UTC]

Reallly beautiful picture.

Only thing that bugs me is that Rand kinda looks like the typical, snooty noble. Maybe its his face, or the way its facing, but other than that it looks awsome.

Haha, that's something for me to keep in mind. I was going for "I'm barely clinging to sanity" glare, but I can see your point. I'll try harder!

Hooray~! In colour Elayne's dress looks really beautiful, though it doesn't look like something she'd wear (with the bare back). Aviendha looks great though; her height and face is well done, though her eyes should be green I think. I love that, unlike the other girls, she's the one that's not clinging onto Rand haha - gotta love that independent woman

Makena In reply to VD-Art [2011-01-31 02:46:06 +0000 UTC]

Good point on Elayne's dress... I'll justify the dress as having enough fabric everywhere else to be modest enough! Thanks for catching the eye color! I just went in and fixed it!
