Wonderful series of books written by Robert Jordan warning: he usually makes you wait 2 years on average between books. After my fire which got my bookcase that was in my living room (sob) these books were the first that I replaced. If that is any indication of how well written these are. I started the series when the first book was a new release many years ago, and have re-read every book many times. Right now I have every book in hard back as well as the 3D game & companion book with all the artwork (even though the art looks to be the work of a 12 year old. my opinion only) But as to the fade character I've always imagined them as "eggheads" not even having the indentations where the eyes would be. Other than that, I think you hit the nail on the head. great image. Before my last disk clean up I had done a few of the characters, but I didn't like them enough to keep. I have been playing around with the idea of trying my hand at Loial and the Greenman. (ambitious ain't I?)
