It's Friday, and that means fan art! A few weeks ago I got a request from Lali to do a feature on channelers weaving the One Power. Well, I wasn't quite successful in finding that, I'm afraid. But instead, I found these lovely abstract visualizations of the Source themselves instead. I hope you'll like it Lali! And the rest of you too, of course.

I'm focusing on saidin today, and next week will be saidar. Since most of these are abstract there's not too much to discuss about each single piece, but I'll add some general thoughts after! So without further ado, here we go:

Saidin by Tarkin

Tainted Saidin by lupiskwid

WOT Saidin personified by AzureLightning

I have to say, I think these abstract images are absolutely brilliant. I think that is how a channeler would "see" the Source in their mind. I can't decide between the first three which one I think is the better! The first one I think would be the most realistic tainted saidin (the dark "oily" taint on the outside), the second one is the most dramatic and magic-looking, while the third is just really, really cool. And saidin personified! Fire and ice, and life. So awesome!

And a small bonus to settle us into next weeks saidar-feature:

Flame and flower 1 by Meyrocu

I think that is a lovely representation of the relationship of saidin and saidar!

Hope you all have a lovely weekend, my dear readers! And do feel free to give me requests about art you'd like to see!
