Hoid's Cosmere Hero Forge

[Hoid Slayer He/Him]

I think this is the right place for this

At the end of last semester (and the start of this one), I was experimenting around on Hero Forge and made some Cosmere characters. I intended to make a lot more, but, well, I kinda maybe forgot about them...

But now I've remembered! And I'm excited to show them to you guys!

I'll present them in the order I made them, with some comments attached. Some of the first ones aren't that good - but trust me, they get better

Vin (Valette):

Spoiler

Okay this is absolute trash. There's no saving it. It was a maybe decent first attempt, but I really put very little effort into it and it shows. She doesn't even have an earring 

Szeth:

Spoiler

This build wasn't even supposed to be Szeth at first, and it shows. Very simple, not very good

Kelsier:

Spoiler

Made this one after a couple-months break, and it was definitely an upgrade. I payed more attention to detail, especially in the face, not just using the starting template, and tweaking with the facial expression. I actually checked the Coppermind for his eye color and height, and browsed fan art for ideas. He's missing his scars, though, and I couldn't figure out a way to make a mistcloak on Hero Forge 

Adolin

Spoiler

Quite simple, and one I'm not super proud of, but it gets the job done. He actually started with a different hairstyle, but once I was finished this one was added to Hero Forge and I thought it suited him more. For his face, I toyed around a little but really didn't do that much. I tried to style it somewhat after a fan art I found showing a side profile. On the bright side, his outfit was definitely the easiest 

Vin 2.0

Spoiler

My second go at Vin. I actually copied the model I made of her for the original and just edited it, but I think it looks a lot better in her mistborn outfit. Like with Kelsier, I checked the Coppermind for accuracy, and I actually gave her belt, knives, pouch and cloak (and maybe her shoes? I don't remember but it looks like) the exact same design as Kel's to show how she got everything from him. I still somehow forgot her earring though 

Shallan

Spoiler

I feel like her facial expression came out somewhat uncanny. I tried to go for a light smirk, but it didn't really work out . Making the havah was weird, and I actually couldn't find a way to make her wear the glove on only one hand, so the hand you do see is actually skin-colored glove. The dark pattern on her chest is supposed to be Pattern.

Wax

Spoiler

This is actually the one I'm proudest of. Which is nice, because he was also by far the hardest. For a long time, I just couldn't nail his face - in an early draft, I somehow made a near-perfect replica of Sylvester Stallone. But after a restart from zero, I really like the grizzled expression we ended up with. I think the scars help, too; I added some slashes in his nose, cheek, and chin that just elevate the entire look. I gave him two different guns that I'm pretty sure were supposed to represent specific guns from the books, but I don't remember which. I also really like how his hair turned out. I made sure to give him a different colored belt than Kel and Vin, and I actually did remember his earring - although, like with Shallan's glove, it couldn't be done on only one side so you might notice a funny-looking ear...

Kaladin

Spoiler

After the torture that was Wax, Kaladin was much simpler, although he didn't leave me as satisfied. I'm proud of the outfit, but I don't love how his face turned out - particularly his expression. I know the glyphs suck, but they're the best Hero Forge could offer. This is post-Radiance, so his eyes are, sadly, blue 

Wayne

Spoiler

Not too much to say. The last one I made, relatively quickly too. His face might've been the easiest to nail of the bunch, and I'm happy with it. The entire design is really lacking complexity. I did give him the same belt as Wax for consistency.

 

[Ink and Embers Any pronouns]

These are awesome!!!!! My favourites are Szeth, Adolin, and Wayne!!!

[Through the living Wahr He/Him]

I like them but I feel like Waynes Dueling Canes should be shorter, not full size staffs but more like the length of an actual cane, (idk if the books ever specify a certain length) but those seem too long to use two at the same time

Fair, but sadly, Hero Forge didn’t have that option

[First of the Tide He/him]

Wow, these are fantastic!
