Can anyone design me the Shardblade from the front cover of WoK?


Wildernesboy

Question


It is KILLING ME to not know what Eshonais Shardblade looks like in full.  And yes it is Eshonai on the front cover of Way of Kings because Daliner Blade has a "hook-like shape"  and Eshonais is "wicked and barbed, like flames frozen into metal." like a flamberge.  If someone could please redraw the Shardblade from the cover I would greatly appreciate it.

So, that person on the WoK cover is just supposed to be a generic Sharbearer, according to the artist. However, it does match another Sharblade we know of exactly. I don't know how far you are in the series, so I'll spoiler this for WoR all, maybe early OB:

Spoiler

It looks exactly like the Bondsmith Honorblade, based on official art. It's the one with yellow markings on this image.

Even though it matches that Blade, since the artist says it was meant to be a generic Shardbearer, I wouldn't read much into it.

Eshonai's Blade looks like this in the official Call to Adventure art:
