No Flame Just Void

Hello @asuitablegirl ! I'm your not-so-secret-santa this year!

As requested, Moiraine and Lan before the Eyes of the World. I chose the classic scene from New Spring. It's been quite a while since I finished that book so before I started I couldn't even be sure who threw whom into a pond (ok wikia told me they both did????), but I sure as hell enjoy putting a frog on Moiraine's head. 🐸🤫😂

Thanks for organizing this event @feast-of-lights ! Happy holidays folks!

*Btw this was my first attempt using acrylic and honestly I haven't coloured in traditional medium for years, so I adjusted the original colours which I'm not super satisfied with. The original work looks like this 🤔⬇️

Amazon gave me a stunning a'dam design, so thank you. Amazon denied me of Taim's appearance in S4, so fuck you. 

and what's even funnier is that in the show version, when egwene asks and is rejected, rand is absolutely silent about it. no effort to change their minds, not at all bothered that she can't come with him. meanwhile in the book version, when mat asks and is rejected, rand, who doesn't even KNOW why mat wants to come because this is book!mat who would rather kill himself than confide in his friends about his problems, immediately goes "fuck you, my boy is COMING WITH ME and that is FINAL!!!!!"

He's talking about the scene with Alsera and two complaints I had with it (minor, because the scene was truly amazing, but things that took me out of it a little), were that there was only the main cast there - no other Aiel came running at the huge explosions? And that Alsera (I'm so sorry) didn't become a full puppet of the power.

Only to find out that during filming, they HAD shot the scene with tons of Aiel around and Alsera on a rig to be puppeted around, but they ran out of time and the next time slot they had to film the scene, only the main cast was available and there was so little time, they had to stay still during the channeling into Alsera part.

Every time I listen to an interview/hear behind the scenes stuff, it's so frustrating because the writers/filmmakers/actors truly understand what needs to be shown, but forces out of their control make it so so much more difficult for them.
