Aleksiel Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 The pictures are gorgeous on their own, but my first impression as depictions of Jezrien and Vedel is more... being underwhelmed, honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aleksiel Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 I noticed it as well, but I'm still too distracted how pale he is. Ash's skin is faintly glowing with stormlight, her hair radiating as if she's about to put on the mask and surgebind. Why does Jezrien look so different from her? Did she get her look from her mother? I don't see similar depth and symbolism in her father's portrait, Ash remains my favorite by a large margin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is consistent with the WoR cover. Could just be because it is the one blade (I think) we have a definitive, canon version of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steeldancer Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 More beautiful art. So happy. I wonder where Vev is. We haven't heard a peep from her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Invested Beard Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Vedel is almost certainly in Urithiru in that painting. Notice the strata in the walls and columns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariapapadia Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 (edited) Is it just me who likes the first two better? I know it's fantasy art and all that bla bla and I don't want this to sound in any way mean or anything like that, but the 2 new ones look a bit .. cheesy/ kitsch? Don't throw stones at me, please ! I understand that they are supposed to be made by two different artists even in the books, but I like the first ones better because I feel they are a good balance between modern and traditional. And that is what SA is to me. In the Jezrien and Vedel ones I feel like the background is a bit too much. It distracts me from the actual characters and Vedel's features look a bit odd to me.

Starla Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Vedel is gorgeous, and I love the stained glass window behind her. I'd love to see the whole thing as a separate drawing. I wonder if it's a real in-world window (maybe in Urithiru)? Jezrien looks quite kingly with his golden crown and shardplate. I like that the circle of gems on his belt matches the stained glass window. He's quite handsome, but his skin is lighter than I expected. The windspren are a nice bonus.

Aleksiel Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 @mariapapadia you are not alone I'm underwhelmed as well. The first is as if the artist tried too hard to make Jezrien look majestic and Vedel has too much going on the background and weird choice of accessories. I just don't feel them as Jez and Vev. Ishar and Ash had the right vibe, these two are a miss for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steeldancer Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 I do like the first ones better as well. They feel... richer. Idk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not a fan of those earings and that belt I appreciate the use of a glove on the safehand, but it feels a bit odd paired with such a flowy dress. I feel like someone who has a glove on the safehand would wear something a bit more practical.

The Invested Beard Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Well keep in mind guys as in-world paintings these probably don't even look exactly like the real characters themselves. I won't go on because I believe this conversation has already been had in this thread, just wanted to remind. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The artist threw glyphs left and right and it didn't help I think the circular element on Jez's armor mirrors the colored glass glypg circle behind Vev, so the in-world artist must be fond of it, but I can't recall something like that being described before. I wouldn't have recognized her as Vedel if not for the ED symbol. 1 minute ago, hypatia said: Is anyone able to help - what has Vedel possibly to do with keys and a divider for navigation? The keys should have been golden, 'Vedeledev's golden keys' was used in-world to express... surprise? It's hard to be sure. No idea why she has a pergel.

paperstones Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 With the circle of gems and the stained glass matching what is the significance of the inner gems? There is small purple and green gems with a larger blue one. At first I thought it was related to their respective order but they both have the same colors.
