“They have caged Shadowkiller” "We come" Oh man that part was just awesome

"Kneel and swear to the Lord Dragon, or you will be knelt."

This guy is like the Bob Ross of fantasy battle illustration. "So I'm gonna take my two-inch brush, and just put a happy little dire wolf right here. He's probably thinkin' about, oh, I dunno, rending the flesh from the bones of his enemies. That'd be reaaaaaaaaaal nice. You can make that wolf as dire as you like - it's your painting."

As a painter, I'm humbled. As a wot reader, I'm fucking breathless. This is so EPIC. Cool that youtube has such a substantial wot community though. If he were to include Rand breaking out of the box, I don't think I could handle it.

This was one of the most intense parts of the whole series. I remember having to put the the book down for a minute to let it sink in lol.

"Ashaman...kill" > "Avengers...assemble.

I said six could come, but I count nine. I said you would be on equal footing with the White Tower emissaries, and for bringing nine you will be. They are on their knees, Aes Sedai. KNEEL!

This was such an amazing moment during the story and my heart cried for the world and the terrible power that Rand's Black Tower was about to unleash upon every battlefield that they laid their feet on. it was such a bitter bitter moment and i think this is when the series pivoted to a "no holds barred" sort of battles and the first warning shocks of the final battle began. the moment when he called "Asha'men KILL!" my bones chilled instantly.

Oh Michael Kramer & Kate Reading.. you make this series all the more awesome.

"They will pay. I am the Lord of the Morning."

its fascinating the witness the change in the narrator's (Michael Kramer) voice as he faithfully narrates the whole series. I am of the opinion that his voice was better when he was younger although even now he's my favorite narrator.

One of the best scenes in the Series! Great video.

I get a shiver down my spine when it gets to the last part where he says "the world was changed forever" every time.

The pulp art style is AMAZING!!!!

This battle is just asking to be filmed.

This is really awesome! Recreated the real "chaotic" feel of the scene! Terrific! Aiel, Ashamans... just totally awesome!!!!

One of my favorite paintings. It also gives me the idea to paint in a "wide screen" format, allowing me to capture more action and story.

oh my god... this was glorious... it gave me chills! What is that music! It's PERFECT! This is exactly--EXACTLY--as I'd imagined the battle at dumai's wells!!!

A true master! I'm glad I got a chance to see him work back in 1992 at Portfolio Center. Amazing career!

Best scene from the series "... Let the Lord of Chaos rule!"

i agree. i'm 1/2-way through book ten and this scene is still my favorite... where you finally see the asha'man kicking some serious ass.

the only thing (to me) is i imagined the Aiel being MUCH more tightly packed becuase there were thousonds of them trying to get in the fight

I know this is unlikely to be read on a video this old, but is there any way people could buy a print of this painting? It's amazing.

I could watch this video an unlimited amount of times

That is an awesome painting.

I'm on Winter's Heart at the moment but I have to say Lord of Chaos is my favourite book so far

Fantastic job ! Wow !

This was the best battle in my opinion the Ashamen where epic and showed just how deadly they were

"Have I not painted well, Great Lord?"

The Shaido bring it on themselves but they really do get punished repeatedly throughout this series.

Oh man. Greg Manchess is made of win. At least he uses a line drawing - if he'd just torn in and made the painting on the fly, I don't know what I'd do with myself, lol.

Great video. Always dizzying to watch Manchess paint.

Wow! Just Wow!

Very good work. Thanks for sharing. I hope your work will be available when a movie or series begins. Or an illustrated book. I would definitely buy your works of art.

Possibly my favourite scene so far from the book up until now, would really love to get a print of such a picture, cant seem to find them for sale anywhere unfortunatley. Amazing all the same though, it was a great read and seeing the painting adds alot to it

Im sorry, but if I was one of those Shaido I would of said Fml and ran like hell knowing we had just gotten fucked. Though, that is not they way of any Aiel, still...They got screwed at Dumai's Wells. And this painting brings it more to life than what my mind did. When I read it it was all just a conglomeration if troops within a low bowl like valley getting killed and such, but this...This is just...Epic.

Not exactly the way I pictured it, but I got goose bumps none the less. Where is Perrin's Beard? Loial looks a little small as well. The Asha'man are perfect though.

....i gotta read this book

Dude, it's not over yet; Tarmon Gai'don comes january 8!

Beautiful

I can't help but hope that the broken tower bowing to the ancient symbol is a symbol in itself. That the Aes Sedai can go from being a tower of manipulators to a united union of saidin and saidar for the purpose of being servants of all.

I NEED A 1:1 SIZE COPY OF THAT ON MY WALL!!!

I really want an Ashaman coat! :)

Can't wait for this scene in the adaptation. Hope they don't screw it up.

little bit o' titanium white, not too much, just a little, put it riiight there, hello happy dire wolf. bob ross wishes he was this fucking cool.

WOW ! Fantastic !

"They've caged Shadow Killer."

Waaay better than the original Lord of Chaos cover. The original is so awful; it looked like a badly-done cheesy romance cover.

La batalla en los pozos es dura y cruel... Alcanza a la imaginación y va más allá

OMFG make a poster of that painting

Bellissimo video della Progressione dell'opera....

amazing

AWESOME!!

(narration not in chronological order)

can we buy this picture ?????????

no, Rand is in his box and Martrim isn't even there. he's in ebo-dar

awesome!!!!

yes, yes you do...

@HatedSovietLion I don't think Mat was even in this battle (correct me if I'm wrong), but no, it doesn't show the circle of wagons where Rand Min and Taim were. It would have been awesome if he would've painted Rand breaking free of that chest.

well done!!!!

The music sounds like Age of Empires 2. That is an awesome painting by the way. What kind of paint was used??

@mortenlu ABSOLUTELY!!! I want one too :O

Hey guys just winder that what medium he used? acrylic? Damn, it's just amazing

I would give a nut to be that talented.

@unitylovefamily They cant differentiate between male and female, well not easily anyway is what is stated in the book, I just finished lord of chaos and it doesnt mention them being unable to differentiate two legs nor do any of the books before, so unless you read it in a book after lord of chaos im guessing they can

@HatedSovietLion Mat wasn't in the battle, and Rand would be behind the Asha'man, so he's not within sight.

“Asha men, kill”.

How come the Aiel do not have bucklers?

I have to say, I never cared that much for Dumais Wells. I loved the Stand at Emmonds Field, or the Assault on the royal palace of Caemlyn, I liked the Battle for Cairhien and the Attack on Cold Rocks Hold. But this video really turned me around. It's up there with the others I mentioned, for sure. And with later stuff, the Last Charge at Tarwins Gap, the beginning of Mats campaign in Altara, the Battle at Shadar Logoth...

Kneel and swear to the Lord Dragon, or you will be knelt.

looks so simple, yet it ís so damn hard :(

why is this not the guy they use for the book covers? the artist they use for those just doesn't stand up to this guy at all

@judahstarguy2 I agree, and hope so too. "Servants of All", my ass. Far from every Aes Sedai in recent times do anything for the sake of others, instead serving their own schemes and ambitions.

Is this the only one they filmed? It would be awesome to get one for each book.

the narrirator sounds like mr. smith from the matrix

THUMBS UP TO NO DISLIKES!!

are there any more paintings for the series by the same artist?

what medium do you use?

Wheel of time anime illistrated by Bob Ross

Compared to this, my art is crap.

Can you watch this and not get chills?
