Gosh, I haven't posted here in a while. Sorry, guys! To be fair, I have not been doing very much art since school started. But I do have this drawing of Ember from the summer. Have a zu-bop of a day!

The Clocktower was admittedly a nice find. Not many people know about it simply because they fear missing it! Ives was safe from devious scientists trying to find him.
And HR. Cant forget HR. Some how those insane folk are still kicking around being annoying and stupid and weird and stupid- Clocktower yes. His clocktower.
He made it way to the base of it, his padded moccasins barely making a sound against the cobblestones of the plaza he found himself in. The splintered wood of the

Endnote
I’ll admit I don’t really get this ketek. I’m going to have to think about it for a bit. It’s disturbing that it’s written by El, who in this case is noted to be a/the “Fused scholar of human art forms.”
Is this endnote by Nazh? Who else would be collecting the keteks and writing commentary about singer interpretation of Alethi poetic styles? The typeface isn’t different, so we can’t positively iden

Epilogue (Dirty Tricks)
Icons: Jester and Ash (mirrored) –Wit the lightweaver, naturally
Design is the sort of audience member Wit needs: unimpressed and… I want to say snarky but she’s more genuine than that. Willing to object.
Wit, on considering Sja-Anat’s expanding influence. This is striking because Sja-Anat has been shown to be working for the benefit of Roshar and against Odium. Is there somet

Chapter 117 (One Final Gift)
Icons: Kalak and Jez, mirrored.
Okay, I’m a little conflicted here. I need to admit that I read this chapter twice, since I mostly neglected to take notes on it the first time through. The strange thing is, the first read-through I was annoyed at the placement of the chapter. I thought, “why wait until now to show us Eshonai’s death? Wouldn’t it have been better at the end of Wo
So I didn't actually explain how we'd get to Lightspeed in the last article. And I certainly didn't go beyond it.
Should I make this a part two, maybe? Or is it a little late for that?
Screw it. If Incredibles can have a fourteen-year gap between the original and the sequel, then I can make a sequel after a long month or so.
Lightspeed and Beyond 2, Electric Boogaloo: Time Hijinks
We have a couple options here.
Option one is simple and effective, but makes for a terrible

Chapter 116 (Mercy)
Icons: Shash, Jez, and double Ishar (not mirrored)
I’m about to give up on interpreting these odd arrangements. What is up with the mirroring/not-mirroring thing? Why 3?
Epigraph: El is aware of the change in Odium’s vessel, and has been “waiting to worship” the new one. I’m not any more enamored of this guy than I was from the previous musings.
Good, Kaladin is intentionally ta

Chapter 115 (Testament)
Icons: Kalak and Ash, mirrored as per usual. My guess about the symmetry being broken is wrong, or only applies to chapters with the new Odium.
Epigraph: This El seems like a jolly fellow. Let’s support his candidacy for overlord.
Shallan is trying to rehabilitate her first spren, now named Testament. This is going to be a long, laborious process. Props to Shallan for embarking

Chapter 114 (Broken Gods)
Icons: Betab and Palliah, doubled but not mirrored, similar to last chapter. Hm. Has the symmetry been broken by the ascension of a new Odium? Is that what’s going on here? I guess I’ll have to see if the pattern holds.
Chapter icon is intelligent Taravangian.
Epigraph: Speaking as a human, I’m not too keen on being helped to my “final Passion,” thanks. Sorry, El. Not a fan of th

NOTE: Many, many apologies for the delay. Yes, it's been six months since my last entry. Don't worry, we're in the home stretch now. The end is in sight!
Chapter 113 (Emotion)
Icons: Compassionate Taravangian at the top. Chach and Nale as dual herald icons, but not mirrored. Weird. What’s this intended to mean?
Epigraph: Best guess is that El is going to be Odium’s champion. I don’t think we’ve met him ye
Thanks everyone for 1000+ views! Means a lot. I'm glad you guys all enjoy my art enough to look at it, lol.
Here's Heather Celeste, at one of the balls held in her step-mother's castle. Originally inspired by a drawing I did about two years ago of Ember and Heather dancing.
Uhh... where did we leave off?
Dyson Sphere... system-wide production... extensive use of all immediately available resources...
Gotcha. Kay. We're back.
Stellar Engine! Left y'all hanging on that. It's a real piece of work, taking the power of a dyson sphere to do the unimaginable:
Move the solar system.
All the planets, asteroids, and stuff in our system are tidally-locked to our star: "the Sun" (as it is rather uncreatively named). Therefore, by moving the Sun, you ca
Last entry was a bit of a hoax, as I really didn't go much into traveling through space that much. I guess I needed to clarify the beginnings of something rather important:
The Kardashev Scale.
Theorized by Nikolai Kardashev back in the 1960s, likely as a supplement to the space race and whatnot. The scale is an early attempt at defining 'levels' of alien life and civilization, based on something very important to the universe: energy. All matter and forces can be traced back to the pu
