the first picture is absolutely stunning.

a fitting tribute to the hotest,coolest and most regal woman in randland.

bad guy or not,i prefer her a hundred times over some of the "good" guys

like egwene,cadsuane or zarine bashere.

These are great. The first one actually feels more like how I imagine Moiraine looking though.

Also, while I love all of these, none of them capture the "evil" side of Lanfear very well for me. She is exotically beautiful, but with a tinge of psychotic that only a very naive shepherd wouldn't recognize.

Ariel Burgess (reddera), who is doing the artwork for the WoT card deck, also did a stunning painting of Lanfear, which dipicts her more vengeful and evil, rather than coquettish. You can find her work on Facebook: http://www.facebook....164127706972822

third one(selene) is how i imagined her most... simple, flowing robes... bare feet... but theyre all very nice pictures :D

@mark.

first one is how i imagined mierin eronaile going to a rendezvous with lews therin(before he broke up with her).

#2 strikes me as a Disneyesque Lanfear.

Symply beautiful.

I love these threads, keep them coming!

And SkyFire, true, looks like Jasmin from Aladin!

Unbelievable imagery and detail on that first one! It captures the essence of Lanfear, just a pity about the face. They're all beautifully done, but somehow none seem to capture that terrible beauty of hers.

When she was Selene, she didn't appear evil to Rand. Evil people often don't look evil.

Lovely artwork. The third picture is quite close to how I imagine her.

Beautiful artwork. Three is how I've come to imagine her.

They are all so beautiful!!!

Beautiful artwork, as always! However, quick correction -

" Her stalking and manipulations came to a head in Rhuidean, where Moiraine famously saved Rand from her fury by tackling her, throwing her through the stone doorway ter'angreal, and trapping them both in the land of the Finns."

Didn't this happen on the docks in Cairhien? They had taken all the ter'angreal from Rhuidean across the Waste on a train of wagons.

You're correct! Thanks for pointing this out. I usually check my facts but sometimes I forget my memory's really faulty and just go with what I remember happening ... oops!

Indeed, Rakiah does have a fantastic eye for costuming details, as you could see "WOT: Hold over Caemlyn" last week. I love Ariel's work as well and I have her Lanfear in my hallway (glaring across the hallway at Dos Santo's Moiraine...as you do), but my one criticism is that all of the clothing tends to look about the same and very flat. (Of course, I'm a costumer, so that would be MY nitpick.) But her facial characterizations are fantastic.

All of these art works are really good, however there is a brilliant piece of artwork featuring Lanfear from Japan that look sooo good, that it looks like she modelled for them, lol
