SciFi and Fantasy Art Tar Valon by Rob Christianson


	One of my favorite images based on Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series. This is a rendering of the gleaming city of Tar Valon, center of the world and home of the Aes Sedai, White Tower, and Amyrlin Seat.

14 Feb 2003	Anonymous	Loading... Beautiful, you depicted the shining city almost as i had imagined it. Dragonmount is even rising above it in the back ground.luv it
26 Dec 2003	SEODRohan	Loading... This looks really cool, except the bridge closest to us is just a bit steep. I imagine ppl just falling down it as they try to cross. Other than that, very good depiction.
25 Jan 2004	Ali	Loading... I really love Dragonmount in the background. It adds a familiar detail to the fans of the book like myself. Though I do think Tar Valon itself could use some details.
29 Mar 2004	Dubya	Loading... Awesome pic, other than those out-of-place buildings in the foreground. The White Tower is amazing, but the island looks a little small to hold a city and the tower. Maybe it's just the distance/perspective thing. And, wasn't there supposed to have been a battle on the slopes of dragonmount? It'd be pretty darn tough to keep your footing, let alone fight on that mountain (though it is a cool looking mountain).
10 Jul 2005	Solyn	Loading... I may not be an artist, but I think that you're one of the best I've seen. I must point out a thing or two though. One-Dragonmount is much, much farther away from Tar Valon than you show it. It may be prespective, but it is a lot farther away than you picture it. It says so in Newspring. Two-Dragonmount is really, really tall. Even bigger than the Moutains of Mist. It disappears in the clouds if my memory serves me. Three-The island does in fact look a little small to house such a large, great city. I just wanted to point that out to you.
8 Aug 2006	Rachael	Loading... I think this is a really good picture, with good perspective. i think it fits the description of the shining walls from the book really well.
18 Mar 2009	Anon.	Loading... thats so ****e haha
2 Oct 2009	Beyla Sedai	Loading... wow awsome! i think dragonmount is further away but i love the bridges and the tower
9 Jul 2010	Inc	Loading... It’s an Aes Sedai factory!
