When I told my brother I was going to read Eriksons books, he told me that Anomander Rake would be one of my favourites.
Apparantly he knows me really well, because after only one book Anomander Rake and Ganoes Paran are my favourites.
I love this picture, drawing someone with 'midnight dark' skin must be pretty tough.

Thanks man, good to hear from you and glad to see you're interested in Eriksons characters to such an extent. I really enjoyed drawing Anomander Rake, dark skin is like glass, reflections are tricky but completely worth the extra effort!

Wow, that's a great pic.
I like how the eyes are the only thing with a strong color. It makes the pic a lot more intense.

I'm not so sure what I think of him by now.
But he seems pretty cool and thie list of titles is just awesome ...

yeah, definitely... hey, it would make a really cool avatar, if you could do his face in black and white and have his eyes changing colour!

hehe glad you picked that up. In da book the eyes are a major part of his character esp the way his eyes adjust with emotion. I thought it would be cool to use that.
