Isolation and loneliness

[freenarnian.livejournal.com]

Meanderingly came across this lovely piece of fan art by Rushstarfire on DeviantArt today, and thought it very imaginative and beautiful. (And somewhat melancholy. Poor Gen!) Sharing it with the MWT fans here, with great respect for the artist.

This is a wonderful piece of art. (favorites)

Man, that's one of my favorite QT pictures on deviantart. It illustrates the quote so excellently, too, and makes additional use of the line a bit earlier where Attolia tells Relius that when Gen circulates through the ballroom after dinner, "he moves always toward the empty spot and the court moves always after him. He is like a dog trying to escape its own tail." (p. 326 of the paperback)

It's completely lovely... I want a print of it. :)

That's lovely. His sleeves match the descriptions in the book!

I don't usually post on here (just lurk), but I really liked this piece of fan art. It fits the qoute really well and is a qoute I don't think about a lot but really appreciate.
Does Gen's outfit remind anyone else of Zuko in Avatar:The Last Airbender? Maybe it's just me.

[drashizu.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he's got the same flowing-red-robe thing going on that Zuko does, especially in season 3.

Yep, season 3 Zuko.

Oh, and hi. :D

LOVE this artwork! LOVE.

I love the artist's Gen in this! It's so beautiful and really communicates the feeling. Thanks, Freenarnian, and thank you to Rushstarfire, too. :)

yep. I was staring at it being like "this is the weirdest Zuko drawing I've ever seen who are these other people" and then I looked at the title and went "oooooooooooooh." :-)

BEAUTIFUL. Thank you!
