I've seen a few people gripe about the covers of the books (Which we all do, I imagine, about certain depictions), so I did a search a while ago for some nice WoT art, of which there is surprisingly few. Other than what is in the top left hand corner of this site, I've found one artist, who absolutely, positively, has the best WoT art around. No doubts in my mind. Insanely talented. Most even fit my mind's idea of the main characters. Check out a few here(click for larger image):

There's more there, in his portfolio, honestly the best I've seen (and no, its not a spam for my own work, I can barely hold a damn pencil). His Rand and Mat's are almost exactly as I see them.

Some of the best I've seen.

That's funny. I was just going through their site last night! She(?) is amazing, I agree. One of the best I've seen.

I reckon this is pretty impressive. The battle at Manetheren:

Everybody has such huge hands. :shock:

^ Hmm...don't notice that.

^I don't like how the Trollocs look, but other than that, that's a great piece. Extremely detailed...must have taken forever.

Oh yes, I must agree with this.
