Can’t remember last time I have drawn so many characters on one canvas 🫢

But here they are

P.S. I meant Rlain to be much bigger but nvm I’ll fix that on my next artworks

[lazulir]

I wonder what Vorinism thinks of women wearing fingerless gloves

A silly art of the brothers that I drew after I stumbled upon a review where someone reposted my first Renarin portrait only to put a rant about him below it, smh

I’d really appreciate it if people would stop uploading and using my art without credit and without my permission. ;; I don’t mind small, low res use in memes and icons. It’s the pinterest/ social media/ blog reposts that frustrate me.

[lazulir]

finished Mistborn secret history and era 2 but I can't make art bc I still have finals until Friday and a competition the next week so be prepared for me in. in 2 or 3 weeks

[lazulir]

You look funny from this angle

The Survivors

"The mists are your friend, Vin. They hide you, they protect you … and they give you power."

[achillbeing]

WOAH SUCH WONDERFUL ART

I feel like I see stuff that captures the beauty and magic of the mist and the stars relatively rarely surprisingly and I ADORE this.

Have you considered. Drawing the scene in Hero of Ages where Vin is drawing up the Mists and they're spiraling out below her and she peaks high above them with a single bit trailing up to her etc etc that scene made such poignant images in my mind but all I can make so far is this

[lazulir]

Tysm 🫶🫶!! I noticed in the books they really emphasize the mist' behavior so I always imagined it as swirls rather than normal irl mists hehe

Also, fantastic concept, bet 🫡

I have finished the mistborn trilogy.

They lulled me into a sense of safety with the first book, then killed my whole family and extended family and my Uber driver while throwing me with 112358 bricks.

Hello, my old heart

WaT spoiler:

Kadolin a few thousand years later since my boy is immortal now 🚶

[akorah]

Snippet from the plot bunny this has inspired below the cut (serious WaT spoilers)

---

He would have given it up, the immortality. He intended to, back when he had something to live for that was his. Then the war stole his heart but not his life, and Kaladin got back up. He always got back up. He found purpose outside of himself and held on. Eight of his colleagues chose to go into the Beyond. Ishar reclaimed Ashyn, and Kaladin was—

alone.

And yet not alone.

He had Syl. He always had Syl, but Syl was her own person. Syl, his tiny piece of divinity, was Roshar’s goddess now. Cultivation had not returned, but Syl had. Syl brought Stormlight back to Roshar, along with highstorms. She was gentler than her father. She wanted Roshar to flourish. The grass in Alethkar no longer hid with the alacrity it had in Kaladin’s youth. Buildings grew tall with windows facing the Origin. High-speed fabrial trains connected the continent, slowing only during the Weeping when Stormlight ran low.

Syl, his goddess, the other half of his soul, the person who kept him sane for a thousand years.

The one he had wanted to love, wished with his entire being to love, only to find that what he felt for her was barely one-thousandth of what he felt for the man in front of him.

The “unknown artist” had captured Adolin Kholin’s features with uncanny precision. Kaladin would recognize Shallan’s hand anywhere. He wasn’t surprised her work found its way into a museum, repainted onto a larger canvas by a student a hundred years later. Adolin posed with Maya, a look of concentration on his face as he listened to someone not pictured. He looked younger than Kaladin remembered, but they’d all been so young then. Adolin was twenty-three when Shallan arrived in the warcamps. The idea that they’d ever been so young seemed impossible.

[akorah]

This is now a one-shot on AO3.

Summary below the cut; contains implied spoilers for Wind and Truth.

Centuries after the fall of Retribution, Kaladin returns to a museum built on the ruins of the Kholinar Palace and a familiar portrait of a man he loved. While there, a young boy with an ancient name pulls Kaladin into the present.

Finished Mistborn the Final Empire or it finished me

[fairyplam]

I present you, very angry Kaladin.

[lazulir]

I. I genuinely couldn't put down the book. I finished Mistborn the Final Empire in two days. Spoilers below I need to talk about it before I study:

My mistake for reading chapter 35 while eating dinner with my parents. "I’ll tell Mare about you. She always wanted a daughter" I'M PHYSICALLY ILL. I'M PHYSICALLY ILLLLL HE WAS SUCH A DAD

I literally guessed wrong in every plot twist. Gasped every time 💔 I thought Lord Ruler is gonna last longer than 1 book ngl

I genuinely thought Kelsier would become the next villain since he was becoming like a god to the skaa and replace Lord Ruler or something, but he DIED? I feel like Kelsier's character was too well thought of to be killed in the first book. Don't tell me if I'm wrong but it's not the first time in the cosmere that a "dead" character was brought back (Also I'm probably in denial since I don't want him to only haunt the narrative I want him to do more)

The book constantly reminds us that Vin is still really young. Most YA books I've read write 16 year olds like they're so smart, strong, experienced, and/or mature. Hell I'm 19 and I still feel too young for everything. But Vin sometimes still reacts to things like a teenager that age would. Like, she liked balls, she was impulsive most of the time, etc. she needs a parent figure Kelsier and her really deserved more time together :')

I don't have any strong opinions about Elend. I get why he's "one of the good nobles" but in my mind he's not "good" yet since I haven't really seen him in action. Yes he saved Vin and helped the rebels at the end but it was mostly because he loved Vin. He did read those political books and discuss how he will do better for the skaa when he's older but he hasn't done anything yet so. But ngl I was still giggling and twirling my hair when vin and elend were together
