Sylphrena
A quick sketchbook drawing I did of Syl from The Stormlight Archive using pen and colored pencil. I wanted her dress to mimic the flow of the wind, and her safe-hand is covered.
Sky Duel
Kaladin and Leshwi dueling in the Sky from Rhythm of War by Brandon Sanderson. I fell in love with the design of Leshwi the first time she was introduced in Oathbringer with her streams of red fabric as she floated elegantly in the air. I awaited the moment when she and Kaladin would duel with …
Shallan and the Cryptics
This is from a particular scene in Way of Kings, where Shallan sees strange creatures appearing in her drawings. I always pictured them as sort of spirograph heads, which is what I used to draw them in this illustration. (Which, I found that doing complex spirographs was much harder than I had anticipated and I …
Shadesmar
The painting Kaladin finds in Shadesmar, which can be interpreted differently by different people. In this, Kaladin saw Dalinar surrounded by 9 dark shadows and felt a deep sense of foreboding.
The Safe Hand
We can all admit that the safe-hand thing in the Stormlight Archive is both silly and an amazing cultural thing found in the books. Here’s Navani trying to seduce Dalinar from the Way of Kings.
Raodin of Elantris
I LOVE Raoden from Brandon Sanderson’s Elantris. He is probably my favorite Cosmere character. He’s determined, hard working, and charming. Unfortunately, Raoden as a hoed is pretty difficult to draw in a handsome way. He’s basically a zombie with no hair, no eyebrows, and blemishes on his skin. I’ve tried drawing him numerous times and …
Mistborn: Is Elend Cool Enough?
I’m not even really sure what inspired this silly little comic. But I had a lot of fun drawing it! Elend is pretty cool, too bad Kelsier was too prejudice to see it! Haha! (Please note that I drew this before reading Mistborn: The Secret History.)
Mistborn the Final Empire
I actually drew this back in college as a school assignment where we illustrated a movie poster and cast movie actors for a book to movie adaptation. (Which I’m realizing was over a decade ago.) I had read Mistborn for the first time recently at that point, so of course, I chose that! Mark Strong …
Magical Boy Kaladin
One of my earlier watercolors where I was still getting a hang of it! While reading Brandon Sanderson’s Stormlight Archive I couldn’t help but decide that it was secretly a magical girl story! I mean, they have cute mascot characters and they level up! Plus sparkly glowing effect. So this is Kaladin as a magical …
Lopen
What do you do with a two-armed Herdazian? Draw him cause he’s adorable! Lopen is just a sunshiney character who I always enjoy reading. Kaladin and Rock think he’s ridiculous, which is what makes it more fun.
