"Aes Sedai" by Norma Peters

SF&F Picture 2 out of 62 by Norma Peters

SciFi and Fantasy Art Aes Sedai by Norma Peters


	Self portrait for The Gallery of Souls at Epilogue. I decided to portray myself as an Aes Sedai of the Blue Ajah, in tribute to Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series. The gold frame has become the Great Serpent Ring, a snake swallowing its own tail, and the symbol beneath is the flame of Tar Valon, city of the White Tower.

18 Jun 2008	Sherman Skip Nodler	Loading... It always seems to me that if I get the eyes right the rest of the drawing is so much easier. You get the eyes right and everything else also. Amazing backgrounds! Skip Norma Peters replies: "Thank you so much. I’m delighted that you like the gallery."
14 Jul 2008	John	Loading... the symbol under the frame is actually the ancient symbol of the aes sedai, well more the the flame of tar valon and the dragons fang, often used to demote dark friends, not the flame of tar valon, the flame of tar valon is taken from the white part of the ancient symbol of the aes sedai, and your face doesnt look ageless Norma Peters replies: "For whatever reason, I think that somebody had his cranky pants on when he wrote this comment. John, you’re nitpicking regarding the symbol. The left part is most definitely the Flame of Tar Valon. As well, of course I do not look ageless, because the entire concept of agelessness does not exist. It’s a fictional contrivance of Robert Jordan’s, and it it impossible to draw a face which absolutely looks ageless. Everyone’s face reflects an age. Sometimes one looks older than one’s years, sometimes younger. But the human eye, upon seeing a face, quickly deliberates and subconsciously registers an age-range."
1 Aug 2008	Melissa "Bee" Stephan	Loading... Beautiful! It looks so much ike you, even from your gallery I could tell it was a self portrait. Great work, I love the background details and the hair is really good. Norma Peters replies: "Thank you so much. I’m delighted that you like the picture. "
13 Sep 2008	Anon.	Loading... Well, at least you are a Blue and not one o’ them nasty Reds! (another Peters, probably not related) Norma Peters replies: "Hehe, you never know. We may very well be related. My father’s family came from Connecticut and Massachusetts, but we’re spread over many parts of the US and Canada."
19 Nov 2008	Silvia Meiliani	Loading... Now I know why does this picture looks like you a lot^^
8 Aug 2009	Lyndsay MacDonald	Loading... This actually looks like the picture you have of yourself. That’s so cool.
19 Aug 2009	Bella	Loading... i think its quite good. i bet its hard to make a face look "ageless" just as you say to John... its kind of impossible to create an ageless look!
19 Aug 2009	Bella	Loading... just now i see your last name, hehe my teacher greek’s surname is Peters to and i’ve seen many many others with that name! (many is about three...XD) p.s. i think i would be the blue Ajah to...maby yellow...if Aes Sedai existed, and if i was one... p.p.s. sorry that i don’t post this is one message and i like your album to its great! you won’t see me creating such beautiful things! always when i try to create a human face... it looks like Anime....
19 Aug 2009	Abe Roll	Loading... I have to say, considering the fact that an Aes Sedai’s ageless face is a fictional characteristic, I believe you got quite close! The Green Ajah is much cooler though...
19 Aug 2009	Jessy Catt	Loading... I can’t seem to find my original comment here, Norma! I thought that maybe I put it on your epilogue gallery but It’s not there. Anyway, I still love this picture. It still in my mind captures the ’ageless’ look. It’s very lovely, you paint yourself well. It’s powerful..even after all this time I come back to it, and this picture is still amazing. And sorry I’ve not been around in a while, been planning some things. Well, Hope to hear back from you, Norma. And please, please, please..keep sharing your gift of art.
