"Upon him I will visit famine and a fire.
Till all around him desolation rings
And all the demons in the outer dark
Look on amazed and recognize
That vengeance is the business of a man."

~Kvothe quoting Daeonica
The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss

I get the feeling everyone would be better off if Kvothe never got the chance to pay Cinder back for the slaughter of Lord Greyfallow's Men. I also get the feeling he dreams nightly of all the terrible things he could do to him (perhaps including binding him to a iron wheel and tossing him into a fiery pit, as Tehlu did to Encanis?). I couldn't get the image out of my head, so here it is on paper.

My original plan was to make a quick, cheesy anime-style sketch of Kvothe kicking ass and taking names (haha, get it?). 100 hours later … well, it was my first experiment with gouache, masking fluid, granulation medium, and salt, and in that sense I am just happy it didn't turn into a hot mess.

Gouache on paper, 7" x 16"-ish

Oh yes! As I adore Cinder, I would never ever wish him fate that Kvothe could show him but he deserves it all the way :devilish:

I love the image! You are really talented; it's always nice to see talented people who have read Kingkiller Chronicle ;)

I am known for liking pure evil characters ^^ My guilty pleasure!

Yeah, the same with me. When someone reads after my recommendation, I am in heaven.

Kvothe as an Adem, defeating one of the Chandrian as Tehlu did to Encanis.
Awesome.
Great image.

Oh, Kvothe! Actually I agree, but it wouldn´t be so much fun for me, if Kvothe wasn´t such an idiot once in a while.
Well, I love your Kingkiller pictures. I could totally imagine them as book illustrations. <3

haha, I agree. The books wouldn't be so much fun if Kvothe didn't have those terrible yet strangely endearing fatal flaws :P

Oh, I keep meaning to draw Bast ... he's on a list on my computer. School just picked up again, but it will happen eventually.
