I have just finished the Wheel of Time series. How does one explain it? How can one truly show, or write, something that changes them? In a way, it reminds me of my faith. There isn't a way to quantify the feelings, but they are too strong to be simply ignored. Such is my faith, and such were the feelings as I turned the final pages of A Memory of Light.
The story left me breathless. Stories of this scale are few and far between, and for good reason. Crafting a masterpiece like this is no easy task. Two people -Original author Robert Jordan and cover artist Darrell Sweet_ have passed away as the Wheel turned. Brandon Sanderson, one of my favorite authors, finished the epic saga, and Michael Whelan did a phenomenal job on the cover of A Memory of Light. It took me around a year to finish it.
But those days were some of my favorite days. I walked the mysterious hallsof Tar Valon, climbed the treacherous peak of Dragonmount, and saw the Last Battle, Tarmon Gai'don, fought at Shayol Ghul. I watched people grow up (Or in Mat's case, fail to do so ). I saw battles fought, I saw kingdoms fall, and I saw men and women rise above what the world told them they were.
This series is epic in every sense of the word. It has changed me, influenced my writing. I hope that my books are a mere shadow of what the Wheel of Time was.
I've walked the path of the three ta'veren, and I shall do it again, many times in the future. I walked it with those characters; they have become something more, something that will be a part of me forever.
Weave on, Wheel of Time!

I'm Going to Be Chatting!
I'm going to be chatting on Superversive SF's channel in their Superversive Roundtable, discussing Romance in Science Fiction and Fantasy
That's going to start at 3PM Eastern Time Saturday, you can find it below. I'll be chatting with other authors, as I'm now a contributor to the site. Occasionally these get political (I don't know how much that's going to happen here) so be warned if that's not your cup of tea.
Anyways, I'll be chatting about how to add sugar and spice and everything nice in stories. I won't be talking as much, as there are people much more qualified than me to talk. Either way, your humble artist will be adding to it.
So...
It's sad to say, but I'm quitting deviantArt for a while now.
It's nothing any of you did, but a personal thing. For a month at least, most likely more, I'm going to be taking a hiatus from this website.
Now, if any of you want to find me, or talk to me, I'm here on Wattpad: https://www.wattpad.com/user/Halcyon15 I'm perfectly fine with anyone shooting me a message, and I hope my personal issues resolve themselves in time so I can come on back. But for now, I must bid all my watchers a sad adieu.
Best regards,
Panhead13.
I'm back! Not in black though...
....Aaand I'm back! For whoever missed me, don't you worry, I won't leave you!

Okay then.
Well, I got a laptop. A nice Asus laptop, and soon, I'm sinking some money into a desktop so I can use my bloody Cintiq. As part of my birthday gift (Thanks for all the well-wishes on that day :D ) I'm getting the Adobe Suite. So....you get to see me practice my digital painting skills! Unlucky you!
In other news, I'm on Wattpad! https://www.wattpad.com/user/Halcyon15 Here, I'm writing a story called Fever Blood. It's a fantasy story (Duh, I'm a fantasy geek) and I'll be putting up art for y'all to see, with a link to the story. You want t
YES!!!
So, a while ago (Around last Halloween), my dad came home from a meeting, a bit annoyed, saying that the dishwasher at the restaurant (his other job he works at night) called in sick. He told me to put on an old t-shirt and some ratty jeans. Then, my career as a dishwasher began.
I had wanted a Wacom Cintiq for a while, and, on the 24th, I got one. I tried it out on the 25th, and it was fun to use! Even my mom got into it! I liked the fact that she got into it.
Yeah. You'll be seeing a lot more digital paintings with this thing.
