I stumbled across the blog of artist Seamas Gallagher, and found some pretty neat artwork based on Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series. It turns out that Seamas is involved with the Dabel Bros. and is behind some of the cover variants for their upcoming comic book adaptation of The Wheel of Time. You can click on each of the pictures to see a larger version.

I’ve always been a fan of the over-exaggerated, comic-booky style used here, so these immediately appealed to me, even if they don’t exactly match the images in my head. I suppose they won’t be for everyone, though. Seamas has a ton of art on his blog and online portfolio, including more Wheel of Time artwork. He seems to have portraits done of most of the major characters in the series, so if I left out your favourite, give his blog a look and you’re sure to find it.
