Nethseäar he/him Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 I am working on an art project which will involve a large Alethi 'thath' glyph. I saw that a speculative 'thath' was drawn here, but I'm wondering whether we've seen 'canon' versions of the glyph in-book.As I understand, the Surgebinder glyphs correspond to their respective Heralds, and the Surge glyphs to their respective surges. I'm fairly certain that 'thath' has not made a canon visual appearance, but I don't have my copies of the books, at present. Anyone have an idea how I can get an accurate 'thath' glyph?

Harakeke Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Not that I'm aware of. Furthermore, I don't' think we've even pinned down what the Th sub-glyph looks like. It's in some of the Highprince name glyphs, but we haven't quite cracked those. I'm pretty sure I've changed my best guess for Th since drawing that doodle version of thath, so it's probably doubly wrong! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Honor Spren she/her Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Brandon's AMA is still open, maybe you could ask him for a picture of a Thath glyph. Best I can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeiryWriter he/him Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Brandon's AMA is still open, maybe you could ask him for a picture of a Thath glyph. Best I can do. The AMA actually ended back in early September. I think the OP's best bet would be to email Brandon through his website and explain what he wants it for. They send out some of the concept art for cosplayers so it's possible that he would be okay with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the reply! and thanks for your diligence in discovering and documenting the various Sanderson scripts. It's awesome to have the keys available, and be able to look at your process.

Thanks for the suggestion! I shall send such an e-mail. As I recall, Brandon doesn't do the glyphs himself. He spoke about it at one of the conventions or signings a while back... He worked with one of the illustrators... -- Isaac Stewart, I think -- to come up with something symmetric and artistic that matched his idea of what the writing is like. So you'd probably need to get in touch with the illustrator: http://www.isaacstewart.com/ Edited November 6, 2015 by Harakeke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes Isaac is the one who designed the glyphs (he actually has designed all of the various scripts and symbols so far). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking along the lines of WeiryWriter, so I used the 'Contact Brandon' feature on his website to send the message yesterday. That done, Isaac Stewart probably doesn't get quite as many messages as Brandon, so if a few weeks go by with no response, I could try there. Though, I don't see any contact info on his site. There's also Twitter. So, my main challenge will be remaining courteous by not spamming messages to every possible source. =-P Wish I'd thought to ask during the Shadows of Self release, as both of them were there, at the very same table . . .
