Description This, my fellow WoT/art loving friends, is Mat Cauton. In the shape of a fox (yea its really hideous... lol)
feel free to ask questions, give tips, post comments anything I appreciate very much. (actually I appreciate a comment more than a fave, its more personal ^^ but ofc I like both. Lol)

border: [link] (link to pack) (sometimes this one doesn't work...wait a little longer, refresh a few times and then it should work!)
background:[link] (link to pack)

ow and something else, if you like fantasy and reading... read the Wheel of Time. Seriously! It is epic in every sense and I never loved a book for such a long time, its really great!

P.S. just found out his English name is Mat Cauthon, with a H added >_> in Dutch its Cauton, and I thought it was the same for English.
Sorry ppl for this poor mistake...! I changed the title but I cannot change the text in the image 'cuz its a JPG now... and the text layer is merged with the rest.

Thanks, the Ta'veren were of course easy to convert into animals, but I want to try some other characters some day too!

Thank you for taking the time to reply to my comment and to let me know about these other WOT pieces you have made. I had missed your gallery before and only came across your Aes Sedai/Asha'man fight from random searching. These pieces of Rand, Perrin, and Matt as animals are totally inspired and exceptionally well done! I think Matt as a fox is my fav but I love them all. Such a cool idea! You should consider making a children's book with animal humans as the characters

Also I read your Bio and some of your other info, I also love doing art just for fun. I think I will create an account here and start to upload some of my pieces. I have also noticed a small grammar error, you often type tough instead of writing though (missing the h). I am trying to learn some japanese at the moment, and I love when people point out grammar/spelling issues to me, so I hope you don't mind my pointing this one out.

Thanks again for sharing your art with the world! More people need to realise that the most important thing about doing art is that its fun!

Thanks for your comment It really brought a big smile on my face!

You should do that! I'll be sure to check it out. I really can't tell all the things I learnt as soon as I uploaded my stuff here, also getting feedback and such will really be great! I don't get really many comments, but I love it when I do, especially when someone takes the time to actually write something, like you did!

And, no, no I don't mind! I now indeed see I make this mistake all the time! But when do you use tough and when though then, if I may ask?
And I'm really glad you pointed this out, I can understand English for quite a long time already, but I still make numerous mistakes, so I'm glad you helped me with this one! (to be honest; I didn't even know it was wrong...!)

I agree, it's great to earn money and appreciation with it, but it's not the "main goal", at least not for me. If I stop enjoying art, well... uhm... I hope that just never happens!

Onyana In reply to Asrath [2012-07-09 16:07:46 +0000 UTC]

Glad you enjoyed my comment
tough = something which is strong or hard. A physical property.
though = a word used to compare two things or connect two ideas. Sometime though is short for although.
tho = an internet shorthand way to say though. However, it is not really a word (like lol, rofl, brb)

I also thought you should consider drawing a member of each Ajah as animals - I think Verin Sedai would make an awesome owl. Verin has always been my favourite Aes Sedai, and one of my favourite characters. Or perhaps also the forsaken as animals, obviously Moghedian is an easy one to start with!

Asrath In reply to Onyana [2012-07-11 11:27:24 +0000 UTC]

Ohh yes, now I remember! Though I always used to write "tough" and never "though". Thank you for helping me on this one!

That's an awesome idea actually! And maybe not a specific member from the books, but just a member from the ajah (if that makes sense...) like a wolf or lion or something for green, an owl for brown, a snake for red...
It's pretty tricky to get appropriate animals, tough I think I'll give it a shot!!

Clarinerd [2010-11-19 15:40:31 +0000 UTC]

I think this is my favorite of your WoT set. Mat is just so fun, and your portrayal of him as a fox is fully appropriate. You do him justice.

I also like Mat most, also he's most fun to draw of the three.
I have to practice my drawing a lot tho, but I've got plenty of time

I don't see anything horrible with the quality xD Maybe I am just going blind : D Actually it kinda looks like there is a texture layer over it.

I know I haven't commented anything in a while but NOW I AM AND WILL! And I love this <3 I like how you make every single one your characters unique and even tho I don't know the persons I get a feeling of them

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Asrath In reply to Sakonitus [2010-10-16 18:13:10 +0000 UTC]

yea, not a texture layer actually but I painted pencil over it. Its somewhat fixed now, but earlier it was, according to MY opinion, awful!

thanks, and it doesn't matter. I also forget to comment on everybody's stuff... its not that you HAVE to, but I do like it when you do
and I see that as a great compliment, thank you!

FalineDrake [2010-10-16 12:46:12 +0000 UTC]

Heh, I didn't even notice anything wrong with the quality beofre you mentioned it In full view I can see it too, but it doesn't look too awful... Suits with the style, it could be just the colouring. But I understand it might piss you off
BTW, what animal is Rand? Dragon, or a sheep? (since he's woolheaded fool and sheepherder and everything )

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Asrath In reply to FalineDrake [2010-10-16 13:16:57 +0000 UTC]

okay, at least others don't notice it then! but yea it pissed me off, in the beginning at least.

Rand, I wanted to make him a dragon (kinda obvious...)but a sheep that is a nice idea too!
Well, something to add about Rand, I DID want to let his scale colour change when he gets older, also he gets more spikes and gets less fluffy (dragons fluffy?! lol, yes... I mean "cute/adorable" anything like that. As a sheepherder he IS kinda cute, lol, especially when you look back. Didn't want to make him look like a 4 jr old tough. lol)

FalineDrake [2010-10-16 11:44:31 +0000 UTC]

I'm waiting for your Rand ^_^
This is nearly as good as Perrin. Only the feet look more like bear's feet, but otherwise I like it

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Asrath In reply to FalineDrake [2010-10-16 12:07:54 +0000 UTC]

thanks Rand will be finished, probably next week.
yea I agree about the bear feet thing, I accidental made too short, paw like feet -__-" and the fact that they're brown also helps.
Well, the problem is that on paper Mat looks better. But somehow my pc (or DA, I think the last since he's fine in GIMP...) wrecked the quality. He seems... uhm.. grainy(?)and less vivid colours and clear lines
ah whatever... I always have something to complain about, guess its just me, lol. Thanks a lot for your comment btw ^^

misschien had ik 'm lachend, met een stel dobbelstenen ofzo moeten afbeelden, maar deze was nou eenmaal beter gelukt, lol. Maar ik ben het wel met je eens, eigenlijk wou ik er ook nog meer bij tekenen... maar dat heb ik niet gedaan

nouja, ik ben nu gewoon een WoT collection aan het maken van de 3 Ta'veren en een paar losse karakters... maar ik ga zeker Mart nog vaak tekenen, zo is 'ie voor mij het makkelijkst te tekenen van alle karakters lol

Luca-Masma In reply to Asrath [2010-10-16 10:31:44 +0000 UTC]

Oe, leuk.
Wat gaat Rhand worden? Een draak is het enige wat ik kan verzinnen.
Aangezien de andere twee nog een band met het verhaal hebben als dier.

Oe, ik bedenk me nu ook opeens.
Jij vroeg me ooit of je mij mocht tekenen toch?
Heb je dat nog gedaan?

(sorry, te groot ego om dit te laten gaan)

Asrath In reply to Luca-Masma [2010-10-16 12:10:54 +0000 UTC]

ja eigenlijk wel he...!
maar ik ben nu geskipt naar dieren tekenen omdat ik mensen nggl moeilijk vind. En dat zou voor die strip niet werken, dus eigenlijk moet ik gwn een heleboel gaan oefenen zodat ik straks mezelf goed genoeg vind voor de strip.

Luca-Masma In reply to Asrath [2010-10-16 12:49:42 +0000 UTC]

Inderdaad, maar dat komt vanzelf wel hoor.
En je doet het al best goed hoor.
Alleen het lichaam zou ik nog wat oefenen.

Asrath In reply to Luca-Masma [2010-10-16 13:18:57 +0000 UTC]

yea, agree. Daarom zijn mijn tekeningen atm ook nggl statisch, ik ben niet goed genoeg ik het lichaam. (nouja, laten we ff niet beginnen over waar ik niet goed in ben. Oke?! dan kunnen we een pagina vol schrijven)

Luca-Masma In reply to Asrath [2010-10-19 11:23:20 +0000 UTC]

Nee, niet statisch, en hoezo je bent niet goed genoeg?
Oefenen, oefenen, oefenen.
Dat is iets wat je goed maakt.
Maar je kan dus niet ergens niet goed of wel goed in zijn.
Je hebt alleen nog niet genoeg geoefend en genoeg geoefend.
Pas je wel op dat je het mensen tekenen niet verleerd?
Dan kun je weer opnieuw beginnen met oefenen.

Asrath In reply to Luca-Masma [2010-10-21 16:58:37 +0000 UTC]

nou... nee, ik kon het al niet geweldig. Ik wil gewoon mijn algemene skills op een wat hoger niveau hebben, dan leer je iets nieuws ook makkelijker aan. Aangezien het een beetje te grote stap was, meteen mensen gaan tekenen, aangezien ik die heel moeilijk vind.
Anders wordt je er ook zo gedeprimeerd van...

Luca-Masma In reply to Asrath [2010-10-28 14:59:24 +0000 UTC]

Ja, dat is waar.
Maar ik denk dat wat je nu doet niet zo heel erg verschilt hoor.
Ook deze dieren hebben nog een menselijk lichaam.
Maar inderdaad falen is deprimerend.

Asrath In reply to Luca-Masma [2010-10-29 07:05:29 +0000 UTC]

ja... maar ik vind menselijke gezichten op de een of andere manier heel erg moeilijk, dit lijkt meer op mijn oorspronkelijke stijl.
