  1. Thanks.

     

    There are some absolutely beautiful pieces here. The Reception and Awards Ceremony are this evening. I already know that I didn't win anything, but it's been a great experience. Plus I've received a few compliments about my work.

  2. I'm entering my first art show this weekend. It officially starts Friday evening but the online gallery  is already available for viewing. Winners will be announced Saturday evening. 

     

    I've got three pieces entered, but I've checked out the competition and I'm fairly sure I know who's going to win my category Still, I enjoy painting, and I've met some interesting people through this art league. 

     

    I also managed to get website set up showing off my work, which is strange and exciting. 

  3. I've shown this off before to my WT friends:

    I just finished another piece yesterday, and I'll display it when I've photographed it properly. 

  4. Hello, Yruc.

    I too found Robert Jordan while working in a mall bookstore in the mid-west. Book Four had just been published when a co-worker turned me on to them, and I recommended them as often as I could to customers.

     

    Be sure to check out the social groups, and welcome to Dragonmount.

  5. I didn't care for Mat in the first few books, but when he matured into a leader he became my favorite.

     

    I started out liking Perrin, and I really enjoyed his defense of Two Rivers. But then he married Faile, and then he went on and on and ON with Slayer, and I quickly grew tired of him. And I really got annoyed with him sniffing people all the time. Even across a field on a windy day, he somehow could tell that one person out of a hundred was feeling "jealousy tinged with sadness, and with subtle top notes of horniness for Berelain."

     

     

  6. I was put off by the Sharans. The distant land was only hinted at throughout the books as a mysterious place with brutal customs.

     

    Then, during the Last Battle, they appear out of nowhere, with no warning, acting like another invading force similar to the Seanchan, causing more harm than good.

     

    I only read MoL once, so I might be mis-remembering their motivations and details, but that was my final impression.

    I think the effect is because he's only free of the seal for 40 years out of every thousand, meaning he'd only have aged 120 yrs since the Bore was sealed. A channeler of his strength(according to the Companion) would have a maximum lifespan of 900 yrs, which means appearance-wise, he'd probably only look maybe a decade or so older than he did in the Age of Legends.

     

    Interesting. Why 40 years out of a thousand? Seems rather arbitrary.

  8. Balthamor and Aginor are trapped "near the surface of the Bore" and thus are affected by time, becoming extremely aged, etc.

     

    But Ishamael, who is only partially caught when the Bore is sealed, does not appear to be ravaged with age.

     

    Why the difference?
