On Halfmen
So, Myrddraal.
The way they're technically described in the books is as 'eyeless' in the sense of 'there is naught but skin over where eyes should be', but I don't like that.
Don't get me wrong, in the 90s that was a (reasonably) novel monster look, but nowadays it's been done to death and back - and besides that, even with the mentions of "pale skin where eyes should be", it is not what I imagined the first two times I read the series.
The Fades/Myrddraal/Halfmen/Eyeless/Lurks/Fetches/Nightrunners were made through human experimentation using the extra-dimensional magic of the Dark One, and it would be far more fitting if they more obviously looked like tortured corpses - grim, yes, but accurate to the books (Lan says at some point that in making Fades, the human strain and Dark One's magic are both made stronger).
The way I imagined them then, and belligerently continue to imagine them now, is as otherwise-ordinary-looking humans, with the signature waxy skin, but with tar-spattered hollows where eyes once were. It adds, in my opinion, to the body horror of the Wheel of Time when the monsters don't just look like generic monsters: looked at intently for a few moments they, instead, begin to look a bit too human. Also, a bit easier on anyone trying to adapt them to screen.
The same goes for Daghkar - they're often shown in art as these quasi-vampiric creatures, but I always saw them as oversized, pale dimorphodon/toothed pterosaur looking things, except that they look more like something out of All Tomorrows, as the only genetic material being used to make them was that of regular humans.
Trollocs are already described as well as they could be, with their grotesque, twisted features framing too-human eyes and their animal calls being twinged with the flavour of a human scream.
As for Shaidar Haran, I thought it would be extra neat if, on top of just being a Very Tall Halfman, it also had tiny points of white light fixed just in front of the ruined eye sockets, never moving in any expressive manner in order to highlight that yeah, those probably aren't eyes the way we understand them.

Book Review: The Great Hunt by Robert Jordan
The Great Hunt by Robert Jordan is a sweeping and ambitious follow-up to The Eye of the World. The novel picks up where the previous book left off, with an even greater sense of urgency and peril. The stakes are higher this time around, as the protagonists find themselves embroiled in a deadly hunt for an ancient artifact that could tip the balance of power between good and evil.

Book Review: "The Wheel of Time"
* * * * A
Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series is a classic in the fantasy genre. When I watched Amazon’s adaptation of the first book, “Eye of the World”, it seemed very different from my memory of the books. I went back and read all 14 volumes in the series, including the last three which were written by Brandon Sanderson after Jordan passed away, which had not been published when I read the…

A general reminder to folks since I'm seeing more Bookcloaks climb out of their slimy wood works: the old internet mantra of 'don't feed the trolls' exists for a reason. If you feed them they only multiply. These people are spoiling for a fight so they can vent their anger and bigotry, don't give it to them. Just block and move on.

hi there's a line in TSR chapter 10 about how some Trollocs wear boots ("They strode on paws or hooves as often as on booted feet") and I got immediately distracted from the epic fight scene by the thought of a Trolloc wearing cute little rain boots.
idk why, but the idea of Trollocs wearing shoes was the funniest thing ever to me. so I had to draw it
#wheel of time#this is so dumb but I could not stop giggling throughout that terrible gory scene of violence#bc i was like hehehe what about a trolloc wearing ugg boots#what about one wearing heeled boots#something is wrong with me i fear

Book Review: The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan
Jordan’s The Eye of the World is an engaging start to a fantasy series that immerses readers in quite a vast and intriguing world. The story follows Rand al’Thor and several of his friends as they flee their home after creatures of myth attack his village. They are shepherded by Moiraine and Lan, an Aes Sedai and her Warder who happen to be searching for the same thing the Trollocs were- the…
