lost power during Hurricane Irene. So I picked up my colored pencils, printed reference and drew Rand Al'Thor, the boy sheep herder before he was the dragon. I wanted to capture his innocence and do some cool colors.
Incredible work here! You definitely captured his innocence. He looks like he's daydreaming here instead of feeding chickens and herding sheep. Such a simple life and it makes you feel so bad for him for where his life went. Just seems unfair. I'm just starting book 7 so I don't know where everything goes yet but already he's gone through so many changes. Poor Rand.
Thank you. I really wanted to show Rand before everything happens, and oh yes you're only on book seven. There is more to come for Rand, good and bad, but definitely changes. He was very innocent, so I thought that was really powerful to show where he started. Glad it worked out.
Glad it worked out.
