I've never liked the shallow, laser-etched look of the heron on this blade. I've forever been holding out for a more solid-looking version. I know it's unlikely as there's not movie or TV show with dozens of costume and armor designers on the task, but I'd still like something that looks a little bit more like the image could be made to hold-out for a few centuries of hard use.

I certainly favor giving props to Seamas & Saliba, but are they still eligible for a "fan art" award since they have both lent their skills to official WoT publications?

As my favorite character and the one who has struggled from chronic lameness throughout much of the series I've been pleased to see two of aperrin's biggest moments depicted so beautifully in these e-covers. Is there a planned release date for New Spring?

I should mention there was also a Tower Guard video if anyone is interested in seeing it from a whole different, exciting angle.

If nothing else they're at least a good way to skip to the evil laugh.
