I finished this fan art of Shallan yesterday! I know that it doesn't look anything like her and her outfit is not accurate to the book, but it was fun to create something new. It took me about a week from start to finish. Which is a long time for me, I usually like working on a project from 2 to 3 days, but this was a good practice. I hope you like it and please share with your Stormlight friends! I will be posting a SpeedPaint of this picture friday on my YouTube Channel, so stay tuned!

A portrait of Adolin Kholin. Drew this one immediately after Dalinar, so my first priority was to keep the family resemblance strong... thus the square jaw and thick brows similar to his father's. The rest of his features and the cheerful, social disposition are all Adolin though. Button your coat!

Shai's work room - after she did severe "improvements" to each and every furniture, and even tore down the wall for more space.

A portrait of Renarin Kholin. Not a lot of physical descriptions out there of Renarin, so I didn't have a particularly strong image of the guy from just reading. So I looked back at Adolin and thought "what would his younger, less outdoorsy brother look like?" Added his default expression of distant curiosity and voila!

A portrait of Kaladin and Sylphrena. I had a really hard time settling on a face for Kaladin... I found it difficult to convey "gone through way too much crap" while having him still look 19. Good thing Syl was nice and easy to draw, phew.

A portrait of Navani Kholin. Tried to convey Navani's "mature beauty" here. And her crafty smile that makes Dalinar say "Stormfather!" to himself an awful lot. I had to look up fancy hairstyles for this. I was also considering looking up some fancy embroidery... but no, I just drew some squiggly thing on her collar and called it a day.

A portrait of Shallan Davar. Shallan's such an interesting mix of physical features according to her descriptions (many of which are provided by herself!). Her hair is down in this drawing because of the influence of BotanicaXu's excellent depictions of the character... and I was too lazy to look up reference for fancy up-do's.

A portrait of Dalinar Kholin. The description of Dalinar as not being classically handsome due to his squarish face and the fact that his nose was a weird shape has always stuck in my head. ...I spent too much time on that nose, lemme tell ya. Pretty happy with how it turned out though! The crook implies that it's been broken at some point. A likely occurrence during Dalinar's time as an unruly youth, hehe.

A portrait of Jasnah Kholin. I wanted to draw Jasnah with her arms crossed and an eyebrow raised since it seems like a common thing for her. Mission accomplished! I do find it interesting that she tends to wear her hair only partially up unlike most other Brightladies...

The first time Deathpoint uses his powers really stuck out to me as an artist. It was such a strong visual, I had to draw it.
