Description Asmodean from The Wheel of Time.

Not only my favourite Forsaken and tragic evil musician, but basically my favourite character in the history of forever (in case you couldn't tell from my username or anything...) I've always been tone-deaf and terrible at drawing actual musical instruments though, and I'm pretty sure cellos don't even exist in Randland... but they look pretty?! and I was listening to a lot of Apocalyptica at the time... (and particularly Nothing Else Matters which is basically the sort of soul-tearing thing Asmodean would probably play if they did xD)

Ahh, thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it, and it's awesome that you play the cello too

A cello instead of the harp for a metalhead Asmodean? Genius
Love it

I love it!!! There's this hint of... sarcasm (in his eyes) that can surely come from Asmodean, when he plays a taunting note every now and then

I was going to comment on how it should have been a harp (but you beat me to it). I did like Asmodean, but Barid Bel Medar will always be my favorite Chosen (and my favorite character of the series.)
I'm glad you got away from the Johnny Depp look. A lot of people cast Johnny as him, and while I "can" see it, it's just gotten old.
And hey, if bitterns can exist in Randland, why can't cellos?

oh WOW this is absolutely awesome!

I love Asmodean to bits.

Also, hey, who says the cello didn't survive from the Age of Legends?

*high five* of course! I like the way you think maybe he'll find one amongst the Tinkers or a stasis box... xD

Lovely to see this! I admit he's my favorite Forsaken as well, and you did a nice job portraying him here.

This is great. Way back in jr. high when i first discovered WoT i would always read while listening to Metallica's black album. So this is perfect!

Oh yeah, thinking back to when I started reading WoT in high school brings back a lot of memories... I had a pretty similar playlist at the time! (and thank you so much!)

Awesomesauce. He's looking suitably emo (actually looks a bit like Jack White) and the cello looks great. *goes off to fangirl for a bit*

I like your style a lot, and I think it suits this image well. I'd have gone with a harp or lyre, but this has just as much effect.

shorelle In reply to whitetower-exe [2012-12-11 12:59:09 +0000 UTC]

Thanks so much! Yeah, it would have made more sense to draw him with a harp - just gotta leave it til next time

Why are here so less comments?

aww, thank you! ^^ I know Wheel of Time isn't a very big fandom, and my style is a little weird... but it's comments like yours that make my day anyway, rather than getting lots of them, so thank you so much!

M-I-D-S In reply to shorelle [2012-12-12 13:44:14 +0000 UTC]

Where is your style weird?
I like the atmosphair and the colors a lot.
But I agree with you that it is not the quantity of comments thats important, and mostly the unknown series/pictures are the best ^^

I'm doing ok, I actually got in a car accident yesterday and got sandwiched between two cars so my shoulder is really hurting, but otherwise, i'm doing alright, and it could have been a lot worse.

Thank you so much! ;__; <3 Ahhh and I can't wait until AMoL comes out in January, although it also feels sort of sad that it's finally going to end after allll this time. (although, Brandon Sanderson did sneak in the answer to the mystery about Asmodean in the last book! it's in the Glossary/Appendix if you're curious xD)
