Kristi, that was absolutely the most epic thing I have ever read! You are amazing! (Kristi is also rarely wrong on things that involve the WoT)
I have also been following Ariel for almost a year. I was "there" when she first made the announcement that her project had been picked up by Ta'veren Tees.
She spent almost every waking moment on these cards when she wasn't in school. And she really did listen to us.
I gave her images that helped her determine what the Aelfinn were most likely to wear, (Monk's robes, based on the description that says they were "wrapped in layers of fabric") I also provided her with every quote I could find that mentioned them.
I also disagreed with her first choice of garb for the Sul'dam. I hunted about and found an image of a traditional Chinese dress that I felt was a better fit. She altered the image based on my suggestions. She did this multiple times based on suggestions from multiple people.
She has said all along that she values our input and I have seen this first hand.
Also, please keep in mind that these cards have been approved by Maria and the rest at Team Jordan. If they approved them, then that means the depictions are correct.
I absolutely LOVE these. I am SO excited to get my deck of cards after Jan 10th!
Now, I want to know who the wise guy was that signed Rand's crotch? :-P
