Description     '"I am going to remove the taint from the male half of the Source," he announced.
    The three Asha'man, now in plain dark coats and cloaks like the other Warders, exchanged excited glances, but a ripple passed through the Aes Sedai. Nesune let out a gasp that seemed too large for the slender, bird-like sister.
    Cadsuane's expression never altered. "With that?" she said, raising a skeptical eyebrow at the bundle beneath his leg.
    "With the Choedan Kal," he replied. That name was another gift from Lews Therin, resting in Rand's head as if it had always been there. "You know them as immense statues, sa'angreal, one buried in Cairhien, the other on Tremalking." Harine's head jerked, making the golden medallions on her nose chain click together, at mention of the Sea Folk island. "They're too big to be moved with any ease, but I have a pair of ter'angreal called access keys. Using those, the Choedan Kal can be tapped from anywhere in the world."
    Dangerous. Lews Therin moaned. Madness. Rand ignored him.'

- Rand, regarding the cleansing of Saidin
("Winter's Heart", by Robert Jordan)

Another tribute to Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson, and their amazing masterpiece of literature they created, "The Wheel of Time". I can't do them justice, but hopefully this piece comes close to their vision. The usual suspects: Maya, mental ray, and Photoshop here. Mudbox for the head and hand sculpting.

Many years ago I did the female statue on Tremalking, though it was not very accurate and my skillls have changed over time. You can see it here: jaredthedragon.deviantart.com/…

Thank you! I have a hard time critiquing my own work, and feel like this one is a little too... Colorful, maybe? But I wanted it to pair with the female version that I did like ten years ago, and stand out a bit. I'm glad you like it.
