Description So one day while loaded on painkillers prescribed by my physician for A Path Of Daggers, I drifted into trance-like delirium that still haunts me to this day. Basically, Robert Jordan's ghost showed up and it went a little like this-

Me: “ Oh. It's You again. “
RJ: “ Sorry.”
Me: “ That's not enough. Give me the hat.”
RJ: “ There's no hat. Go to bed ”
Me: “BLOOD AND BLOODY ASHES YOU KNOW DAMN WELL W-” (at this point I went into an opiate-induced rage, insanity faded to crying, and even crying is long forgotten when th-)
RJ: Sanderson's got it. He asked first.
Me: What... Well, that's a bunch of bull....
RJ: I wouldn't be a ghost if I hadn't any regrets, you know.

Yeah so I continued to guilt trip the guy until he spilled the beans on the ending scene where Nynaeve tugs her goddamn hair one last time that it completely unravels her braid,the Pattern, and The Wheel itself. Shai'tan and the Creator then balefire themselves rather than live with the possibility of it
ever happening again. Linear Time. The End.

Nynaeve would never wear a skirt that showed her legs in that way!

That's Nynaeve's alright haha

Totally loving the expression on her face. Much different than most pics I've seen of Nynaeve, but more as I imagined her. Yay opiates!

Nyneave's braid is TOTALLY the Pattern!!! That makes so much sense!
Especially since at the beginning of the series she couldn't channel without getting mad, which usually involved some braid tugging, and since the Power comes from the Wheel, which weaves the Pattern, she's essentially pulling the Pattern off of the Wheel and into a giant lightning bolt! This is why she's so powerful in the Power!
Makes sense. =3
Also, I like how...risque her dress is. (DEM KNEES.) =3

Ohh."Read and Find out" Mr. Rigney was pretty damn adamant in using that
to answer the endless amounts of questions at conventions 'n stuff.

-for me, hearing "RAFO" is almost as nausea-inducing as Nynaeve's consistent and seasonal
braid pulling. A Braid is a ornate tangle of threads called hair, threads of spooky-magic
may be weaved similarly to make time-severing lavalasers it seems. Linear time > Cyclical time. But
let's face it, we're bound to be reborn and relive this dialogue on deviant art for ever and
ever and stuff. So next time Mom asks if you've been eating your vegetables just sick it to her
and tell her to 'RAFO'. Believe it.

So good! I really love it! I always imagined her (and the other chars) being more 'medieval' in some way. But actually, I like this style much more, because you're not stuck to drawing those dresses all the time (although I LOVE dresses...)!! She's quite a nomad in this picture! Nomad with an attitude! Go Nynaeve go!

Although I'm just wingin' it, I guess I had the
age of legends in mind? If I remember it was
described being a lot more modern-era feeling.

I just started rereading this series and your gallery makes me very happy

Nynaeve was always one of my favorites (even though I'm never really sure how to pronounce her name) she's small and angry and she hits people with a stick

Nice! and thanks, too. Yes'm, WoT's definitely a guilty pleasure of mine... I'd like to re-read the earlier ones since it's been so long...


Small, angry, and not afraid to switch 'em.

The perfect lady~

mroczna888 [2011-06-16 19:56:27 +0000 UTC]

I like her pose very much! But what bothers me to no end is that... she is showing her legs! xD Nynaeve would die before she would show more than ankle to any men other than Lan xD

dragoninstall In reply to mroczna888 [2011-06-16 22:07:50 +0000 UTC]

Agh, yes you are correct. Y'know, when drawing that , and being rather tired, I did intend to have her wearing stockings.

I totally forgot.

mroczna888 In reply to dragoninstall [2011-06-16 22:26:13 +0000 UTC]

It's not about stockings There was some Aiel women who, while riding a horse, would show legs WITH stockings and still that was considered as indecent, ane Nynaeve was always afraid about what was decent an what not Remeber how she reacted when she saw Elayne in her costume (Valan Luca circus).

dragoninstall In reply to mroczna888 [2011-06-16 23:03:23 +0000 UTC]

Ahh yeah though that's earlier on around book 5, this is more so along
the idea of Nynny being a little more relaxed with that kind of stuff after
everything in books 7+8. If I ever did an earlier rendition of the Emond's
field girls they'd be stocked up with boring old drab woolenstuffs I can
assure you. I totally appreciate the criticism though XD, because it racks to the brain
to go back and look for little details rather than just doing something from
off the top of the head with only memory. And drawing ornate women's dresses is hard!!!!

I'm not upset - she's perfect, but even if she is more about decolletage than she was, she still don't like showing legs
