Description
"The Assassin King" was painted for a school project. We had to design stamps based on anything we wanted, really, as long as it was well-known and could possibly be printed as a US Postage Stamp. Hypothetically, our stamps would be used as a sort of promotion for an upcoming event or new product, ie: the Olympics, maybe the anniversary of something or someone, etc.Since I am a big fan of the Symphony of Ages Series by Elizabeth Haydon, and her newest edition to the series comes out in October, I decided to do a series of stamps for that. NOTE: These are strictly for educational purposes only. They will not be sold, or used in anything other than for my portfolio. DO NOT BY ANY MEANS TAKE THESE WITHOUT MY PERMISSION.
Each stamp represents each of the books in the current series.
This one is the upcoming sixth book, "The Assassin King". Naturally, I chose Achmed as the character to represent the book, because I figured it was about him. 9.9 (For those of you familiar with the series.)

Ha I think you captured his personality very well here. I pictured him standing exactly like this multiple times.

Oh my fucking god.
Oh WOW.
I have NEVER EVER expected to find ANY Achmed art on dA. EVER. *pounces the picture and wags happily* I love you for this, forever and ever!
.. Now if he would just kiss Rhapsody and kill Ashe, I'd be even happier.

Beautiful. I was wondering though... did it ever state in the books that he had a large nose? I must have totally missed it because everyone it seems, draws him with a large nose xD

I'm not sure, lol. I just kind of drew him that way from the start, and stuck with it.

Sword of Truth, yes, although I haven't been keeping up with that series, recently. Never read the Wheel of Time Series, but I heard it was great.

The Wheel of Time is a good series, like Sword of Truth, but more politics and fighting.

He's my favorite character in the series, too! I can't wait for Assassin King to come out. It was supposed to have been out already, but Tor moved it back to November 2006!!! That really, really sucks.
