Alter ego of Lanfear, Daughter of the Night and a fan favorite from the Chosen in Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series. As her sigil is a crescent moon and stars, I chose to conflate her with the moon goddess Selene from mythology. I'm sure she wouldn't mind being compared to a goddess!! This is my very first completely digital piece of art... usually I paint in watercolor. I had a loose sketch on trash, which I scanned and drew over in subsequent layers in Photoshop CS2 on my Wacom. Obviously I was influenced by the Master of Art Nouveau, Alphonse Mucha, who is one of my favorite artists/designers. Design and artwork copyrighted by me, though the character belongs to the Robert Jordan Estate.

Great work. I loved to hate and pity Lanfear.

Considering what her true purpose was finally revealed to be (before a certain someone snapped the twig), showing her as a Goddess works wonderfully!

This is one of the few pictures that to me, did a decent job of depicting Lanfear as described "As quite possibly the most beautiful woman to have ever lived"

Wow! Thanks so much for the compliment. Working on a companion piece for Graendal, but I paused on it when AMOL came out. Should get started back soon, as I've finished AMOL and I'm even close to a skimming re read of some favorite moments. So sad to think it's ended... probably the most moving series for me since LOTR!!

Agreed. I quite loved the series. I grew up reading it really.

"laughs" I always wanted to play the Wheel of Time roleplaying game with somone, but all my friends wouldn't.... Have fun! I look forward to seeing more of your art

I'm pretty sure I've already told you your art is amazing, but if not - yes, this totally is!! (Doesn't heard that I love to cosplay as this character either. :-) )

Thanks so much!! I love art nouveau and crescent fingernail moons, so it seemed natural. I've started a new piece on Nynaeve that also has an interesting border... kind of Vienna Secessionist crossed with iconography. Working on the border and have the figure loosely scribbled, but it's complicated and with three kids and a full time job it's gonna take awhile... hopefully I get it out before the final book!! LOL I also have a grand idea for several characters based on a comment you gave me before... but it will really be an undertaking and I don't want to go into it on the board and give away my idea before I can get to it!! Reading book 12 again by December 15th ish, then book 13 again by January 13th ish. Can't wait for the final... but really sad at the same time.... bittersweet....

Oh, boy, do I understand! I started my reread late - hoping to get it done in time, but at the same time, do I really want to? I've been invested in this world SO long.

Can't wait to see your new stuff. I'd really love to see you come to JordanCon and be in the Art Show. I know you're really busy, but you are so close to the convention....you'd have a blast, too. We just launched the Art Show registration form today on the JordanCon website (as a matter of fact).

The other thing is, at this next JordanCon, I'm carrying out a devious scheme to raise money for charity while having a great time harassing our Mat Cauthon cosplayers, and it's all based on your Mat and Tylin scene. I'd really love for you to be able to see all that brought to life...for a good cause, of course. :-)
