I suppose there is specific reference in the way of Kings to the advantage of hammers knocking bodies away rather than the blades letting the pile up around you. And I suppose it was said that the blades cut “too well” re: rocks, needing hammers to actually break up and haul the chunks out. so even if you do “dice” a dead body i suppose it wouldn’t remove the obstruction. Just make a bigger mess/atrocity.

EVERYONE knows that shardblades can’t cut living flesh but burn the eyes out. (An awesome visualization of severing the soul) but if you hacked at a dead body ( be it human or great shell) will it slice? There are references to dead bodies piling up around shardbarrers pinning them down, but once they are dead can’t you just... idk. Dice your way out? What is the consensus on this?

Great map. I love cartography.

Well thank you. I think I’m going to try my hand at a mistborn era 2 drawing soon.

Well obviously it’s heavily inspired by all the official art in the books. But I can only hope to ever be that good.

Yeah that’s the only one that really matters, (and the only one that even looks much like a cremling) the rest are just kind of like big bugs.

Yes . There are several of them scattered around. I intended to put one near each knight, watching. Some are honestly practicing impossible to see or partly obscured and unidentifiable by anyone but me, but there is a cricket like thing crawling out of the puddle beneath the jumping dustbringer you can probably see.

*deletes image. If I didn’t even include the stick what is the point? Next time. For sure.

@Keeper Exile The one with the shardbow (syl says they existed) is a willshaper. The one with the sword is an elsecaller. (You can’t see her shadow because like jasnah it’s pointed towards the light. Those are two of the orders i still don’t know that much about. (Like what does a willshaper even do? I guess we’ll find out soon) thus I put them farther back and less detailed than the others. I also put them in that corner because then if I colored it they would be blueish, and purpleish next to the green of the moon- the order and color of the 3 moons. As for their spren- didn’t add any. The white fire looking stuff floating off the willshaper was just supposed to be stormlight. I drew it that way partly by mistake when I was adding the black background. When I go back to this to fix the things that bother me about it I think I’ll add passion spren above them. They definitely got the short end of the stick in this drawing.

very constructive criticism

It’s a concentration spren. Described in edgedancer as circular ripples in the air above people’s heads. It’s my theory that concentration spren will have a connection to truth watchers in the same way windspren are tied to wind runners, creation spren to light-weavers, and glory spren to bondsmiths.

jezrians is probably the most frequently illustrated one though, and Honor blades have a notable history of being stabbed into the ground and left behind, but I really wanted to include at least one blade we had already seen in a pre recreance state.

No! Sorry, I feel like by now they have all been guessed other than it! My fave shardblade design so far is Adolins- Mayalaran pre- deadeye. I think she was bonded to an edge-dancer .

Nope none of those. It’s fairly recognizable; in the official art of all 3 books. And... yeah. 2 clouds. Like I said. I added them towards the end when I just wanted the drawing to be done. I also think they look like rocks.

Not only that but it’s a very specific sword. (And the space whale is a hastily added cloud) - and if we’re really pulling hairs here why are ANY of their weapons out- why not spren floating next to them. Because swords are cool.

Thank you very much. That was one of the last touches I added, and there are still several more Easter eggs that haven’t yet been noticed . Since I just finished this one after working on it on and off for so long I’m not really sure what to draw next.

I don’t know. It does seem odd that if cultivation is worshiped in the west that we haven’t yet seen much evidence for it outside of the nightwatcher myths. Unless there’s evidence I can’t remember.

It’s supposed to be an open vine bud like the closed one in the foreground. I rushed that one really bad.

Lightweaver. There’s a cryptic on the hem, and I guess that one soulcast so much they’ve started to look rather inhuman Underneath the cloak.

You are too kind. Seriously. I’m blushing.

Thank you for noticing. I’m very detail oriented and since the actual illustration size is huge (much larger than would fit on a screen at full size) I was afraid many of the little details would be lost. These are the “secrets” the scholars notes refer to.
