Description
The White Tower DraftThis is an early draft but I'm finding myself short on renderings that encompass the whole thing. So this has no materials on it and it's before the island was created or any of the ancillary buildings. But at least it shows the whole building as it has lived in my head for the past 18 years.

This is so gorgeous. I've never really seen a good imagining of Tar Valon and the White Tower until this. Someone posted this on tumblr and was kind enough to source it back to you. I'm so glad I could find the original artist. Now, please excuse me while I go favorite every picture of it you have!

It really does a great job of living up to this quote:
"The street by which he entered the city, broad and paved with gray stone, stretched before him toward the center of the city. At its end loomed a tower larger and taller than any other in city, a tower white as fresh fallen snow....the crowd flowed into a huge square in the middle of the city, and for the first time he saw that the white tower rose from a great palace of pale marble, sculpted rather than built, curving walls and swelling domes, and delicate spires fingering the sky. The whole of it made him gasp in awe. Broad stairs of pristine stone swept up from the square."
That's a description given when Rand is dreaming of visiting Tar Valon way back in tEotW.
I just so happened to have it saved on my own drawing of the Tower

Nice. It looks a lot like the model Ben Gundersen built about 15 years ago. Great Job
