Why this piece is awesome: Intricate portraits of these three aes sedai using the One Power, with their aspects and symbols. They're stylised, almost like Art Deco, painted in rich colours. Definitely click on each portrait to see them full sized.

Artist Website/Gallery: c0ldwitch WOT art on tumblr
Why this piece is awesome: Fantasy travel posters! Not that you'd actually want to travel to Shadar Logroth *shivers*. I love the mid-C20th feel of the style, and the contrast of Aridhol before and after its fall.

Artist Website/Gallery: (mostly smuffly) fanart on twitter
Why this piece is awesome: I'm fond of Mat as a nicely ambivalent character, and this is a great pic of him looking brooding and troubled. I like his eyes especially, in this.
