Gets drunk at party, friends decide to buy plane tickets as prank.

Welcome, great name btw.
 

Awesome that they used bronze!

So I am in the camp that Odium is not Passion and is hatred or some related term. Assuming that is true I think that based on the known shards a logical choice for one of the unknown shards is Love or Kindness. I don't think any of the other shards can encompass these ideals. These seem like traits that would be a part of a larger being. Opinions? I feel like Love is the stronger option but likely under a different name.

Shallan and the stick(had to be said). More seriously I can get on board with Syladin!

For most artists humans are the most difficult, in part because we are more critical of their appearance since any flaw is immediately apparent to us(we constantly look at people and know what they should look like). The best advice is practice. You probably don't draw a lot of people because you don't think you're good at it. Well draw them anyway. Use reference photos and draw. The first 5, 10, or 20 drawings will likely not be that great, but each time you'll learn, and you'll get the feel for how drawing a human should be. Watch videos of people drawing humans and observe their process. If you really want to draw people well, practice and you'll get there I promise.
Look forward to seeing some cool drawings from you!

The cats are on Vax.

Welcome, which works of Brandon have you read?

Just a friendly question, you don't have to choose.

As for the reputations they are based on the number of "upvotes" you get there is a list somewhere of all the ranks. Mostly for fun.

Maybe it's the book about Vax

So excited, this will be my first Brandon signing. Yeah Seattle!

Kelsier: Nathan Fillion, and if Nathans not available then Josh Holloway

Vin: Saoirse Ronan

Elend: maybe . . . Joe Keery:

I don't know why but I want to see Daniel Radcliffe as Marsh

And not that this would be realistic, but someone should animate a short of TenSoon as a corgi trying to follow Vin around Luthadel.

Entire Mistborn Trilogy

Also I'm not sure you get a user manual when you pick up a shard.
That makes sense they would try to restrict his knowledge since Sazed is now the most powerful shard(probably) because he holds two. As far as we know that had never happened since the shattering.

Welcome, which is your favorite Sanderson book?

Not sure about nature, but 16 is used as the base for hexadecimal mathematics used in computer coding.

In nature the golden ratio shows up a lot which is 1.61803 . . . . That is the closest thing I can thick of what you might be getting at. It's more of a cosmere thing really, I think.

When you ask people if they mean "Capitol I intent?"

Hi, which is your favorite allomantic metal?

I think this is interesting @FeltWillSaveUs and the evidence is somewhat compelling. I think that I would need another book with Lift's POV before anything becomes clear though. One thing is for sure that her backstory is mysterious as is her trip to the valley. I do think that since there is so much crossover with Nathis, it seems like there should be at least one significant crossover with Scadrial on the same level.

Which is your favorite shard?
And welcome, excited to hear your theory!

Interesting to see how the books are balanced.

Oooh I like that, I did always think they were all tropical, that would fit too sine bird of paradise are in the region that inspired the culture in SOTD anyway. @Corax

So when the shards were taken up by the vessels, did they know which shard they took up? Did Ati know he had chosen Ruin? Did Uli-da choose to take up ambition or was it random?

Hmm I'll have to do some research into tropical bird species. The picture from Arcanum only helps for a few. We need more fan art for Sixth of the Dusk!

What is the distinguishing feature (if any) that determines if a metal has an allomantic use or not? Is there a patterns or system that determines which metals/alloys work? Or is it just the will of Brandon and what he likes?

I haven't heard or seen this addressed before although I'm sure it's come up in the past.

Thanks
