When one’s quite enough
to bring Lews down to his knees;

WoTtober - Day 8 - Library
#WoTtober #WoTSkies #TheWheelOfTime

An ink wash, ink and watercolor painting of Master Gill’s library in his inn. Off to the right he is playing stones with Thom. Loial is off to left sitting in a chair reading a book. Bookcases and books fill the background. The main picture is in a sepia wash while book covers are popping out all in color.

#WoTtober 8: library. A happy little drawing in honour of everyone's favourite (literally) giant geek and walking library, Loial 🤎

Black ink drawing of a pocket bulging with books. The flap is open - there's no way it would close with all those books in there!

Then I think of a library, I imagine Min with her constant reading.

Life, continued.

Lots of time spent in the #library
The local one was in a #dungeon
Long gone now, a bitter ode to that!

Once lived in a city called #satellite
Close to pyramids and ancient history
Long since now, but still alive in me

I am strange, I know that well, really!
I also don’t need to #sonder at all,
I know everyone else has their own stuff

I thrive with #crimson walls - really!
#peas on the other side - despised!
Two opposites sides, both whithin my life

The future is unknown to all
Unless the world burns to #ash
Let’s live each day as if it’s the last!

Lost in my own mind….

Lost
Sometimes I feel like an #insect
Unworthy of notice, hiding.
Never finding my #niche

I see others #beaming, shining in Light
They’ve been #granted special things
Not a depraved hack like me.

I hide in the darkness, as the #rain pours.
That’s where I feel #safe. Secure.
This appears to be my niche in life

My goals often #clash, though…
My feelings is #ineffable always.
Never easy to say or explain.

Lost in my own mind, between all
Thoughts and feelings’ clash
Safe, but never found.

#WoTtober 7: rain. We'll file this under "cool concept, needed more work" 😆 (Read the alt if you can't figure it out)

(My spoiler policy for these is mostly "if you know you know" because most are so abstract. In this case, it's a LoC to TPoD level IYKYK.)

#WoTSkies #TheWheelOfTime #art

Black ink drawing with a shallow bowl decorated on the inside with stylised swirls of cloud at the bottom. Rain streaks from the clouds towards the centre of the bowl, from where the streaks rise into a shaft of light that connects to larger cloud swirls at the top of the image. Those clouds are also dropping diagonal streaks of rain, though they only come a short way down before disappearing into the black background.

WoTtober - Day 7 - Rain
#WoTtober #WoTSkies

A color pencil drawing on brown toned paper of Rand in the Aiel waste. A large crown of Aiel above watching Rand down below. Behind Rand is a long rock structure with seat atop. Some occupied and others standing in a cluster at the end. Stairs lead down to where Rand is standing. A swirl of orange yellow weaves surround him being choked out by thick black weaves. Rain is falling from the from the sky with large drop magnifying parts of the scene behind.

#WoTtober Day 7
Rain (or, rather, storm) reminds me of the attack on Algiarin's Manor.
I tried to make a stylized thing in style of Sin City, you can see how well it went.

A black pen drawing of Trollocs and Myrddraal charging under heavy rain, with lightnings and blasts in their ranks. They are shown as dark silhouettes, with rain as white stripes above them in high contrast.

6. Veil

“Don't all of you Taraboners wear veils all the time?” He really shouldn't be talking when he needed all his breath to focus on walking, she thought. She just had to talk more than him.
"One being in Tarabon does not make one a local.

5. Fall

immediately winced and and touched his hurt leg.
“Please don't fall, I can't carry you,” she told him, and he chuckled.
“I'll do my best, your Highness. “
Was he playing along to trick her and steal the fish or just for fun?

4. Voice

He kept looking at her for a while longer and she was about to say another silly thing but he smiled.
Almost a smile, because he then said, in a low, tired voice:
“Good to meet you, My Queen of Fish” and tried to bow to her and

3. Queen

“I'm the Fish Queen!” she said, pointing at the basket on her head. She really shouldn't keep talking.
But he looked like he might need a meal and she was on her way to making a good one.

Laras caught a fish! A big one, this time, she'd be able to make a whole meal for two out of it. It was unfortunate, really, that she had nobody to share it with. She was still standing with her feet in the cold water, the fish neatly tucked
