A few of my Stormlight portraits! I really need to start painting more characters and scenes 🖤 My Ko-fi | Commissions | Print Shop

The Stormfather's Judgment

Teft had seen enough dead men on the battlefield to know what he was looking at. Poor lad, he thought, shaking his head as the rest of Bridge Four gathered around him and Rock, quiet, horrified. You almost made me believe in you. Kaladin’s eyes snapped open.

Brandon Sanderson, The Way of Kings

Watercolour on Canson Montval paper, 41x30 cm (that was quite insane!) Commission for Jerome, slightly rougher and more raw than I usually work, but the scene warranted both.

The fact that Sigzil could probably have sworn his Fourth Ideal right there in the Shattered Plains by accepting he couldn't protect Vienta, subsequently getting a burst of Stormlight and stopping Vyre from hurting Vienta and instead was unable to accept it and destroyed both himself and her in his split-second, desperate attempt to save her...

The Fourth Ideal of the Windrunners is diabolical. And I firmly believe Kaladin would never have been able to swear it unless he got a situation like at the end of the Rhythm of War, when the person in question, Teft, has already died. Kaladin, even after swearing the Ideal, would not be able to accept someone he loves dying in front of him and him unable to protect them.

Diabolical.

Mannerisms That Could Be Shared Among Spren-Human Pairs in the Cosmere

As (sort of) requested by anon37. :)

[THIS POST CONTAINS MILD WAT SPOILERS!]

Our requester was inspired by this post by @thephilosophersapprentice, about how Syl and Kaladin might adopt each other's mannerisms. And they asked if I could write something based on this post. So if spren/human pairs beyond Syl & Kaladin shared mannerisms, here are some examples I think could be real!

Shallan humming to herself--not musically. More of a straight HMMM sound.

Shallan using "Delicious!" as a compliment (and not in reference to food).

Shallan saying, "Shallan! Shallan!" to herself to hype herself up.

Shallan walking with a bouncing gait, reminiscent of Pattern's excited bouncing.

Shallan vibrating when excited.

Pattern spinning around a cremling, seemingly in interest.

Rua sticking himself to walls.

Lopen begging a gem for "more arms" so as to "be able to keep up with Rua" while Rua gestures in solidarity beside him.

Lopen talking more and more with his hands--and sometimes without verbal speech at all.

Jasnah adopting some of Ivory's speech patterns, especially when tired.

Jasnah seeming to draw herself up, to make herself bigger to command attention.

Ivory adjusting his hair or makeup before entering a room, despite not really having either.

Hoid "breasting boobily" down the stairs. Somehow.

Design staring hawkishly at things.

Dalinar using what some people call the "Stormfather voice" when he wants to command attention.

Dalinar walking in straight lines without a care for obstacles.

The Stormfather quoting the Way of Kings, seemingly without realizing it.

Lift saying, "Oh dear!" and then seeming to regret it.

Wyndle saying, "Shit!" and then seeming to regret it.

Venli cupping her hands in a protective gesture.

Timbre pulsing out the rhythms of some of Venli's favorite songs.

Navani referring to the "rooms" or "tunnels" or "citizens" of her own body, seemingly without noticing any oddness.

The Sibling developing a morbid curiosity that frankly scares them.

Glys shimmering in time to Renarin's stimming.

Teft using a "Phendorana voice" when needing to be strict.

Teft using a "Phendorana glare" when needing to be intimidating.

Adolin greeting his friends with "Hey, sluts."

Maya and Adolin constantly mirroring each other's positions when sitting near each other.

Maya and Adolin walking in step.

Maya flirting with women. Badly.

Ben McSweeney: Pretty excellent, I like a lot of these!

The artist is from the Phillipines, and they do superb animation work as well. I think they're tied up in videogames, working on JRPGs.
