Nice.. the slight characture allows you to really see the right level of Aiel emotional reserve. very subtle and right on... I didn't need the title to know who this was... I didn't even need the crystal columns.

Most of the picture is awesome... I just didn't see Rand as being quite that bulky... Muscular and very toned, but not bulky... YMMV tho. The only other point is the grip on the sword... you have him holding it like a baseball bat... Too stong of a grip. The thumbs should be pointed towards the point of the sword. With the thumb wrapped around the hilt you cannot change position of the sword quickly. A sword should be held like a bird... Just strong enough to keep it from getting away, but not so strongly that you crush it. A too strong grip can be more easily broken, is slower to move, and will make your forearms cramp after about 45 minutes such that someone will have to pry your hands off the hilt when you are done. FYI... Not many places to go see proper swordwork these days LOL. The tip of the sword should be like a humingbird: quick, responsive, and acurate.
