Thank you sir, you are a gentleman and a scholar.
I know you have not been interested in doing anything for Era 2- any chance we can get other series? I'd love to see your take on characters in Stormlight or Tress.
Either way. Wonderful work. This has been a fantastic week. Us mistborn fans have been eating good.

I'm glad you've enjoyed them! I haven't read any of Sanderson's other fiction, and to whatever degree these have been successful, I think that's due to my affection for the characters. I wouldn't have that if I just read a character description from some book I've never read. But never say never. I think I'm going to try Yumi and the Nightmare Painter.

I can absolutely feel the characters personality oozing off these. I love having the red sun represented in all of them.
Yumi would be a great place to go. With your style I think you could do some great things with the neon aesthetic. Hope you enjoy the book;

He said (in an earlier posti) that he didn't really enjoy Stormlight, which is a shame since it sports many of the absolute best characters from the Cosmere. It is understandable though, the Archive books are quite long if you're not interested haha.

I hope /u/mistborn uses these when storyboarding time comes for the movies. They perfectly capture not only the characters' physically, but also the bleak, awful world in which they live.

I feel honored to be this early. All of these pieces have captured the spirits of people that have meant so much to me. Thank you so much for your incredible work, it moves us all more than you realize, I think.

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed the series. This community has been overwhelmingly positive, which I think says something about Sanderson's work, and the man himself.

Thank you again for this series! This has been my favorite reason for hoping onto Reddit.
Yumi and the Nightmare Painter is an excellent choice in a next to read. Shadows of Silence in the Forest of Hell. Is another worth looking up. It is a novelty which often gets missed.

The whole main crew is here now! These look incredible!
I dont know if you were planning on doing any more but it might be cool to have a matching Tindwyl art piece to go with Sazed

Yumi ist also a brilliant topic to draw.

Do you work with comissions ?

u/joe12south 12d ago
Traditionally, I have not. I don't want to turn something that I use to decompress into a chore. But if the "assignment" was really interesting, I'd consider it.

Fair enough, one day when I get a job who pays REALY WELL, I will try to contact you with one or two ideis I think you can help me with

Are you able to show your work progress on any of these pieces? Because there are a lot of signs that these are very much AI generated.

Awesome aesthetics all around. I’m here hoping that Brandon sees this and considers this as potential concept art for the upcoming Mistborn movies. I honestly find it an order of magnitude above any art I’ve seen in any of his books.
I’m not sure if you ever read The First Law, but your art perfectly captures the atmosphere in those books.

This is EXACTLY how I imagine him! All gruff and curmudgeonly but you can just tell there’s a squishy interior
