Mistborn Monday art: Study Buddies! Khriss and Kelsier study hemalurgy together.

Thanks to @LewsTherinTelescope who reminded me of this old headcannon which inspired me to draw it.

I headcannon these two as occasional research partners - which has led to the amusing result of some unaware Silverlight Students thinking Kelsier is a reclusive scholar (as Khriss ensures he is given due credit on their papers). The students are always shocked to learn what he’s really up to...

Incidentally, the book with the ‘Woman’s Script’* is Rhythm of War - the in-world one. Yes, Kelsier has a copy. The books with dots are written in the Artisan’s Script. And yes, that is a book about Nightblood. Yes, you should be concerned about Kelsier having access to that information.

The science experiment with two balls connected by a tube is real, btw. My grandfather made it years ago, so this is a little tribute to him. That thing was our family’s go-to science fair submission for years. Don’t try making it home though! The glass is pressure sensitive and the stuff inside is very questionably legal (and possibly explosive?)

(*Neither the Woman’s Script nor the Steel Alphabet nor the Aonic uses actual letters from the scripts. This is because I want to sell this print which I can’t do if I used real letters. So what you see is an impression of the letters, but not real letters.)

This is great :lol: In-world Hemalurgy chart has to come from somewhere!

Love all the references to the other Cosmere worlds with those books, Kelsier becoming a true interplanetary scholar of the (Invested) Arts.

Ah, so a perfect analogy for our favorite murder boi himself! (Though somehow he always manages to reassemble himself after exploding.)

Thanks! I’m glad you like it! It was a lot of fun to draw.

It actually did shatter once. (Do not put temperatures and pressure sensitive glass in a box.) The fluid immediately evaporated, and we had to send what little remained to a lab to figure out what it was. Remaking it wasn’t easy, especially since my dad didn’t want my grandfather to know. That’s how we know the substance inside is used for explosives, lol! Or some components of it, anyway.
