My friend is reading WoR and I reread the duel chapter and had this thought: One of the guys trying to cripple Adolin in a full disadvantage duel: "This isn't about Honor. This is about Punishment." Adolin seeing Kaladin approach: "My brother in Honor, you are completely correct. Punishment has just entered the ring. But NOT FOR ME!"

Boots! In 2022 Brandon Sanderson's art director Isaac Stuart asked me if I could redo an illustration of the scene I made two years prior for the leather bound edition of the Words of Radiance

So I tried for a new framing that would keep or even up the antics of everyone‘s expression, but would feel a bit more cinematic. The horse, of course, was the most difficult one to get to feel right and a lot of it gets swallows by the gutter in print. 😅 And I tried so hard to make it offended by Shallan‘s (loudly uttered) demands. Kaladin’s expressions also took a lot of altering until it sat right. I am very happy with this Tyn. 😁

The crowdfunding campaign for the Edition starts on the 5th of March on Backerkit. It’ll be very pretty with loads of additional art! (There’s also a probability of more art by me in there… 😉)

The ID for the illustration in the book is by the great @priscellie The IDs for the rest is by me

#lyn's posts #lyn's art #brandon sanderson #cosmere #stormligh archive #adolin kholin #// #this was just an old joke post idea from agesssss ago #i think i was colour blocking colours and hadnt done the black parts of his hair yet and i realised that he's just ken lmao #my brother said i should put adolin in the kenough jumper lmao #finally got round to it but also thought i'd make it worse and make it adolinough because similar sounds etc #anyway every now and then i think about how adolin has the vibes of peak performance and following in his father's footsteps etc etc #and poor renarin really struggled because he was different #and then when dalinar bonded the stormfather everything changed and now renarin is a knight and adolin is just some guy with a dead sword #to put it simply #anyway it's almost 2am for me going to bed #just want to say that adolin is just ken but ALSO everything (to me) <3

so uh. it wasn't until i saw the journal sketch of Pattern that i realised that i was picturing him as some sort of cross between a QR code and Venom (spiderman). just a goopy rippling square.

kinda like ferrofluid with magnets actually! but if ferrofluid was an evershifting QR code lmaoo

here's one example:

anyway so i thought why not commit to the bit and draw Shallan and QRcode!Pattern and then i committed too much to the bit and she got rendered

#reblogging the original qr code cryptid <3

[starry-stormy-knight]

taken me ages but behold archive karecktors

adolin and maya beloved but also the most time consuming because i had to figure out how the hell i was going to do adolin's hair and not hate looking at it, and maya took me forever to figure out the colours lol. looked at so many references trying to figure out what dead vines should look like and what i would like it to look and i couldnt really find what i wanted lol. but what i went for was like really dried out and very very dead looking fibre. that wasnt too bad but trying to figure out her clothes that would look decent before and after she becomes a deadeye was hell for me an amateur colour theory understander lmao

i have drawn shallan before so she wasn't too difficult but i was truly torn about which version of pattern i wanted to show?? so i did a few of them hahah. i did a canon compliant version, alluding a bit to BE NOT AFRAID angel vibes. but im pretty passionate about ferrofluid-looking pattern as thats what i picture in my head (but i couldnt really find a good reference so i couldnt really do it well. it's also like, about the way it moves more than a still frame so extra challenge). and if you've seen my shallan art you know i. asdlkfjh. i originally pictured pattern as a QR code so i was compelled to continue it. @mistbjorn this one's for you because youre so right <3

syl i usually picture similar to kida in disney's atlantis when she merges with the crystal and you can see her scalp beneath her transparent hair, so thats the inspo for her. for the sylspear i designed it to look a bit like a caduceus as homage to kaladin's medical training and his dad, and like it's not that deep but i guess the swirly glowy bits are his duality and being torn between two worlds etc etc or you can just picture spren zipping about if you want lol like i definitely pictured syl was one but the other makes no sense

the kholins i dont have much to say since they were not part of my original plan hahaha but i couldn't help adding them too. i lowkey struggled to make them unique but also similar because family alksdjfhs i was sketching this around a time i did a lot of face studies so it was so whack and the colouring absolutely killed me so it is what it is asldkjaklsdjf
