Very NIce! Great work! I like it!

You got the clothing right, but I think Rand should be a bit broader and "rough-looking" (that would be texture work, probably). The face looks like he might have at the very start of the books, but I got the impression that he aged a LOT over the three years covered (well, it had been about three years when I lost track of the books; I think two came out since then, and another two are due out), but he didn't get the coat until halfway through the series, IIRC; a "younger" Rand would have "ruder" clothing, like that of the shepherd he was and not the apparently doomed leader he's become. But then again, you're running into the "fiction conundrum." EVERYONE will have their one vision of how the character should look, and you won't be able to please everyone. That considered, good work! :-)

I agree that he should look older, as he is wearing the Dragon symbol. His hair might be a little too red, but that's nothing. If you stuck him in a shepard's cloak he'd defiantely be Rand. Any renders of Perrin?

Actaully, he started wearing the Dragon symbol as early as the 2nd book. Moraine burned all his clothes while he was in Fal Dara, in the Borderlands, and had special clothes made for him before the Amyrlin Seat visited him.

He got that far in the second book? I thought that was the third... It's been a while! I'm just waiting to see if he EVER finishes the series before I pick it up and re-read the whole thing... I suspect that the story got beyond his ability to tell it well around book 5... And the characters just keep adding levels of complexity making a resolution more difficult with each book... But then he does start each one with words to the effect that "There are neither beginnings nor endings, but this is a beginning"... Maybe he's going for the first TRULY "Neverending Story"... What intrigues me most in the series are the number of references to mythology, legend, and fiction (in addition to the obvious Arthurian and Celtic material and the slightly less obvious Judeo-Christian-Islamic elements, I've seen elements of Norse, Finnish, and, I think Egyptian mythologies in the stories; as well as the Telaranrhiod (SP?) dream-realm which seems a hybrid of the Celtic Otherworld, Australian Dreamtime, and the Umbra of White Wolf's Storyteller games). I think he's trying to tell the "archetype" story, the one that all other stories came from, or some such... (Heck, even the title of Dragon refers not only to King Arthur - historically he was probably the Warlord Artorius, son of Uther Pendragon, but also to another "Son of the Dragon," Vladimir Tsepes IV, in the madness elements at least)
