From the album: The Leap
At this point it comes down to figuring out which problems I can live with and which I can't. It's never too late to start over on some element of the piece or another, but it gets harder the longer you go on. -

I was struggling with Kaladin just looking like a blue man, so I decided to cheat a little, paint him in regular skin tones, then apply some effects to create the blue-white stormlight glow that I imagined on him. -

Early attempts on Kaladin. I've got the parshendi just about rendered out here. I wish I had more rough versions of them. They were a fun progression in themselves. -
From the album: The Leap
Things are a bit rougher here. I did a bunch of line-work-y stuff, then moved on to roughing in the colors and values. I think I need to put together the Procreate screen captures that came from this and make a process video or something. -

Early thumbnails. First part of the process. This only represents a part of all the thumb nailing that I actually did. -

Brainstorming some parshendi armor ideas here. Trying to go for a more organic look. -

I really like your version of Gaz. I always imagined him a bit more paunchy. honestly. This is all fantastic work! Thanks for sharing! -
Absolutely love this! Incredible take on Shardplate. You mentioned earlier that you might share some of your process with us. Please, please, PLEASE do! I would love to see how you work your wonders! -

That's fantastic work!!! Love the interpretation of Pattern! -
Thank you Tesh! -
Hey there fellow fans, I posted up a series of portraits and moment paintings to the 17th Shard Gallery featuring the Kholin family a few months back, but failed to ever mention it in the forums. :/ Thought I'd bring it up now for your viewing pleasure. And if you like 'em enough, I'm selling prints on my online store at gmhansen.storenvy.com. Here's the Gallery post. Cheers!

Awesome start! -
Kharbranth - The City of Bells

Thanks very much! -
You seem to know much more about sailing than I do =) thanks for the tip! -
Thanks! I didn't refer from it directly, but I believe I took inspiration from the same sort of thing as Michael Whelan. I was pulling from images of the leading edge of a hurricane.

To sail into a Highstorm was suicide... Started this one at 11:30 this morning and I'm finishing up now, just 7 hours later. Pretty happy with the fast turnaround =) Let me know what you think! And if you like what I'm making, follow me on Instagram! @grantmhansen. there will be more of it coming!

Kharbranth - The City of Bells

Thank you!! -
haha =) I hadn't considered that, but yeah, I totally see it! Firebending Princess on Roshar! -
Thank you!!! S'been a labor of love Illustrating characters/scenes from these books has been/continues to be one of the best ways to get myself amped up on being an artist again (because sometimes being an artist is hard). I'm really glad that other people appreciate them, because the creative process behind them has had a really huge impact on me personally. -
As a final project during my senior year's self-publishing class, I decided to make a Kholin Family zine. Unfortunately, I didn't realize until too late that I'm not able to sell the zine as I'd hoped to without violating copyright. So instead, I'm going to go ahead and post up the artwork that I made in here. Plus, after talking things over with the Sanderson team, I can sell prints of the artwork itself. So that's good =) Also, I'm allowed to give the zines away. I just can't sell them. so I'm going to be looking for some opportunities to set up Zine giveaways to other Stormlight Archive fans. Do stay tuned Note: I feel really good about some of these illustrations, and not so good about others. That's the nature of art in general, but it's also a result of the crazy deadlines that I was under to get these made. They moved me to make a lot happen, but they also prevented me from spending the kind of time that I would have liked to on getting them right. All that being said, I hope you enjoy them. Let me know what you think! p.s. I'll be posting up more progress shots and finished Stormlight Archive fan art on my Instagram channel. Feel free to follow me if you want to see more. @grantmhansen.
