Description "Upon him I will visit famine and a fire.
Till all around him desolation rings
And all the demons in the outer dark
Look on amazed and recognize
That vengeance is the business of a man."
~Kvothe quoting Daeonica
The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss

I get the feeling everyone would be better off if Kvothe never got the chance to pay Cinder back for the slaughter of Lord Greyfallow's Men. I also get the feeling he dreams nightly of all the terrible things he could do to him (perhaps including binding him to a iron wheel and tossing him into a fiery pit, as Tehlu did to Encanis?). I couldn't get the image out of my head, so here it is on paper.

My original plan was to make a quick, cheesy anime-style sketch of Kvothe kicking ass and taking names (haha, get it?). 100 hours later … well, it was my first experiment with gouache, masking fluid, granulation medium, and salt, and in that sense I am just happy it didn't turn into a hot mess.

Gouache on paper, 7" x 16"-ish

No, Kvothe, don't do it...! He does it anyway. This is the only scenario I just can't accept But if I have to be honest with myself, I must say that he deserves it.

ha, yes.  I take you're a fan of Cinder?   I think I would like him better if he had a sad backstory like Haliax.  As it is, he's just really cruel ...

Cinder-Chandrian In reply to Alsdale [2013-08-30 04:15:58 +0000 UTC]

Yes, I am huge fan of Cinder and Chandrian in general I don't know, at first I liked him because of his look but later he grew in me and I became huge fan and cheered for his every appereance in the book. I think I have a thing for cruel characters.

I'm not a big fan of cruel characters, but I really like his look too.  Pity he only really shows up a couple times, but I'm sure we'll see more of him in the next book

Yes, I smell more Chandrian in the next book. Maybe some mysteries will be solved. I seat on needles to know more about them!

Oh yes! As I adore Cinder, I would never ever wish him fate that Kvothe could show him but he deserves it all the way

I love the image! You are really talented; it's always nice to see talented people who have read Kingkiller Chronicle

I am known for liking pure evil characters ^^ My guilty pleasure!

Yeah, the same with me. When someone reads after my recommendation, I am in heaven.

Kvothe as an Adem, defeating one of the Chandrian as Tehlu did to Encanis.
Awesome.
Great image.

I saw your art on the Wheel of Time fan page. Awesome job with the Shadowspawn. Actually, I will go drop a line there now

Elsebeth [2013-01-20 20:49:04 +0000 UTC]

Oh, Kvothe! Actually I agree, but it wouldn´t be so much fun for me, if Kvothe wasn´t such an idiot once in a while.
Well, I love your Kingkiller pictures. I could totally imagine them as book illustrations. <3
Are you still thinking abouet drawing Bast?

Alsdale In reply to Elsebeth [2013-01-21 14:38:37 +0000 UTC]

haha, I agree. The books wouldn't be so much fun if Kvothe didn't have those terrible yet strangely endearing fatal flaws

Oh, I keep meaning to draw Bast ... he's on a list on my computer. School just picked up again, but it will happen eventually.
