Vin illustration for the Mistborn Deckbuilding Game!

So, it seems I get to share this one a bit earlier than expected since it was shown at Dragonsteel 2023 last week! Stormlight and Mistborn (and the Cosmere as a whole) are some of my favourite stories of all time so it's been incredible (and very surreal) getting to work on both this and the Stormlight Archive RPG. Huge thank you to Johnny O'Neal and Brotherwise Games for the opportunity!

Elegy

Maybe you don't have to save anyone, Kaladin. Maybe it's time for someone to save you.

I've been listening to the graphic audio version of Brandon Sanderson's fantasy novel, Warbreaker, and I had the urge to paint Blushweaver based on Alphonse Mucha's "Rose" illustration! This piece will be this month's art club reward over on my patreon!

Happy Koloss Head Munching Day, and Brandon's birthday too, I suppose.

My fan art of Waxillium and Steris from @brandsanderson Mistborn Era 2 books. I love these books, and having just finished the Lost Metal, and fan art being ion my mind lately I had to dive in to the cosmere! More to come, stay tuned ❤️ #waxandwayne #waxandsteris #waxilliumladrian #brandonsanderson #brandonsandersonbooks #brandonsandersonfanart #fanart #cosmere #mistborn #mistbornfanart #mistbornseries #mistbornera2 https://www.instagram.com/p/CnGXIyaOVe_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My first fully painted illustration ever. Made for Howard Lyon's Cosmere art challenge. I liked 'Tress from the Emerald Sea' a lot and wanted to show her as an inventor, this scene in the book was so cool. Huck is also a bit braver here, because he was usually under the bowl. 😅

Oil on board, 40x30cm.

» what author takes up a whole lot of space on your bookshelves? hello my friends, @brandsanderson takes up so much space on my shelves. Not that I’m complaining. I’m on a mission to collect as many copies as I can. I’m really tempted to start hunting down some foreign editions here soon. » hashtags:. #brandonsanderson #cosmere #wayofkings #wordsofradiance #oathbringer #brandonsandersonbooks #mistborn #warbreaker #elantris #stormlightarchive #bookworm #booksofinstagram #authorappreciation #bookcommunity #booklove #bookphoto #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #vscobooks #bookstack #stackofbooks #stack (at Boise, Idaho) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqBb26hPBFk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today I upload this illustration of Yumi, which started as a fanart of the two main characters but I ended up dividing them to make a hypothetical alternative cover only with Yumi.

This way I'm also doing different things and experimenting. Hope you like the final result and I’ll surely make designs in this style for the other three secret projects.

Stay tuned!

Tress of the Emerald Sea

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

I remember when Brandon Sanderson announced Tress of the Emerald Sea and three other books (his super secret project line). It pretty much blew up the internet. It definitely destroyed Kickstarter, at least for a bit.

That being said, I intentionally avoided hearing too much about each novel. I want to go into these expecting a bit of a surprise, you know? So imagine my delight at what I found inside Tress of the Emerald Sea.

If you didn't know, Tress of the Emerald Sea fits inside The Cosmere universe, though you honestly don't need to be finished with the series to understand the events of this book.

This book was SO MUCH fun. I loved every second of it – the seas, the characters, the artwork. It's all so perfect. No, really – there's one art print in particular that I'm dying to buy. I'll keep checking Howard Lyon's (the artist) website in the hope that he'll add it to the shop.

This is a fantastical world in which determination and kindness can turn dreams into reality. It has dangerous spores, talking rats, and even a dragon under the sea. What more could you ask for?

Highlights:

Epic/High Fantasy

Talking Rats

Dangerous Seas

Pirates

Worldbuilding

Talenel, Stonesinew, The Herald of War, Bearer of Agonies

★ What is the longest book you’ve read? Well, Oathbringer held that spot since 2020, but a couple weeks ago I finally got around to reading Rhythm of War and at 460k words (1232 pages!) it now holds the top spot. I listened to the audiobook and followed along with the physical book, which really is the way to go for me with beastly books like this. The audio is over 57 hours long, but I listened at about 2.25x, and it wasn’t near that daunting. 😅 Also, I loved it—five stars, all around. I feel like @brandsanderson will almost always hold the longest book spot for me … Do you have any long books on your TBR for this year? ★ HASHTAGS // #bookaddict #bibliophile #booklover #booksofig #booksofinstagram #bookpics #torbooks #fantasybooks #brandonsanderson #cosmere #stormlightarchive #rhythmofwar #epicfantasy #adultfantasy #thewayofkings #readfantasy #fantasyreader #fivestarreads #ilikebigbooksandicannotlie #dragonsteelbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnc5Z8myhsv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
