I finally did it, I finished a print in time for a con to get it signed by the author! I wanted to clean it up more, but hey, it is what it is.
While I think the painting itself could have come out better, I'm proud of some of the smaller details. Little Rokke, for example, and the small pinoy flairs I snuck in there. The (canonical!) canoe outriggers, and Dusk's barong, for example.
Not a complete set. I still have a few full-length / strip ones to do and might end up cutting more patches.
I have a ton of scrap linen left from my cloak project, so I decided to turn the unwieldy pieces into glyphwards. I'm freehanding all of them. If you're there, please come trade with me. I cannot physically attach this many leftover patches to my jacket.
Anyway, come look for the Lyn cosplayer with a gigantic blue spear and haunting neon blue eyes!
I recently discovered there's interior art of most of The Dynamic. I do not like ZeetZi's canon design at all, so I took it upon myself to redraw him. However, I hate breaking canon, so this is a compromise between my original mental image and the canon description; the hair isn't shaved and the crest lays flat most of the time, in my mind. I don't hate it for a piece I threw together hastily in an hour.
I wonder what Dusk's reaction was to finding out bird people also exist. Probably to ask if they also eat worms and have powers too, or something.
Hey y’all I have an announcement! My web app that I’ve been working on, Afro Index, is now live! It’s a visual reference library of Black hairstyles, for artist, animators, writers, and anyone who wants to learn more about them!
Check it out at afroindex.org! 💛✨
A reference library for Black hairstyles with accurate naming,
structured filtering, and curated reference images.
Assorted doodles of Batav, again! Featuring a very quick and fast interpretation of how the uniforms in Amaram's army look. It's really just the standard uniform with a takama instead of trousers, and the coat is unbuttoned here so I can show off the white silk undershirt.
Someday, when I have more time, I'd like to go back properly and redesign the whole outfit, now that gambesons are semi-canon. I still don't know why the RPG gives you maille as starting kit, though, when the entire army is clearly drawn in breastplates!
I'm currently reading Isles of the Emberdark (so no spoilers, please) and I'm really enjoying it! I don't usually draw while reading, but since I can't blitz through the book in a week or so like usual, I've mixed it up a little. While I'm not sure if it's Brandon's intent, the eelakin come across as very filipino-coded to me, so, in the spirit of pinoy pride, I wanted to give Dusk a sketch. Definitely some things I could improve upon later with it.

Thank you to everyone who participated in this event! We finished with a whopping 18 fics in the collection by 15 different authors! I'm glad that so many people could have fun with this premise; everyone came together to create what adds up to a novel-length collection of stories that could read as a bridge between Oathbringer and Rhythm of War. Featuring both canon characters and OCs alike!
Below the cut is a directory of fics written for this event with their summaries. Please check out the fics and give the authors some love!

Radiant Son by Silvermoonwater
Lirin had been preparing for this moment for days. Ever since Kaladin had sent a message that he would come home with the next highstorm, his mind had been full of the same few questions on loop. We were told you were dead. How are you alive, what happened to you? You were dead. But seeing his son step through the front door for the first time since that terrible afternoon years ago when Roshone had torn their family apart—instead of asking his questions, it was all he could do to hold back tears.

Skar and Drehy's Guide to Babysitting Traumatized Toddlers by Silvermoonwater
Elhokar's body wiggled. *What in Damnation?* A small face appeared, pale and shocked, as Gavinor shook his father's arm again. He mouthed something Drehy couldn't hear over the clamor of battle.
"Skar!" Drehy yelled. "Skar!"
"What?"
"Go get Shallan's people, I'm getting Gavinor!"
"*What*?"

toast to the bride by dally_nar
Ialai Sadeas did not go to Highprince Adolin’s wedding. She didn’t owe him that, not when he had done such a monumentally terrible job at solving Torol’s murder. So some bright-eyed innocent girl was in love and happy, so what? To Damnation with all of them! She hoped one of the two of them would get executed abruptly too, let the other half see how it felt. Then maybe Adolin would expedite his fucking murder investigation.

ialai's year-and-a-half swan dive from grace.

Black and Red by ghostfellow
Vyre is a new man, and with that comes a new uniform. Leshwi is intrigued by a Windrunner, and visits her favorite human for a chat.
Another in my lineup of cosmere women I want to draw in this dynamic card sort of composition. Went back to my roots with Lyn. Her face could have turned out better, but... trial and error. I like how the pose came out, though.
