OK, I just would like to say, now that you have put forth this idea, I seriously need this to exist in full and I need its soundtrack. Not one of those we released an album with the best bits of the music, but one of those massive many disc every bit of song that ever happened in this thing is on here soundtracks. This would be one of the most brilliant soundtracks in the history of soundtracks everywhere. It would also be a massive project, and you would need the kinds of people whose attention to detail is intuitive and instinctive. People who pay attention. People who listen, you might say.

Do you think you could do image descriptions, or know someone who might if not? If they're here already and I'm missing them don't mind me, I'm new and still figuring this thing out.

Hi SingingMosiac!

I don't really know how to make image descriptions or anyone that makes them. But if it helps Padmavaat's soundtrack really helped me come up with the designs.

Here's an colored update for anyone still following this project

I'm still low key mad at Shallan but my heart has healed enough for me to do a sketch of her

Awesome work! It's really fun to see a Bollywood style take on SLA.

The havah designs are great, and I love your stylized incorporation of the glyphs too.

 

One thing that would be great to see is infused gems in the costume designs, I'm excited to see what else you come up with!

That's a great idea! Alot of Middle Eastern/ South Asian armor and fashion have metal like bindings to them and it'll be an interesting look to add to the Parshendi

I wanted to share the concept sketches for Navani and Jasnah! I'm pretty happy with these roughs and will proceed to finishing them

They could work in a OT3 I guess. I've seen good OT3 fics of them (though if we're going for non-canon relationships involving these three I prefer Kadolin.).

Do you mind sharing links for those OT3 fics? I would love to read it

Hey @direktator. Welcome to the Shard! Mistborn was my first stint at Sanderson and then from there I was obsessed! Currently doing a re-read of the whole thing and looking at the little tiny details that match up the Cosmere. Hopefully see you round the forums!

There is usually a limit when newly joining the forum. Are you attaching the file or using a third party site? Excited to see some fanart from you. We definitely need more fanart!

Got some help from the 17th Shard discord and I finally figured it out! I posted the design project in the fanworks forum. Hope to see you around as well!

It's been a day since I finished Oathbringer so I guess my torch for Shalladin is still there. I do see myself shipping them with Adolin as a de facto OT3 but we'll see.

To be honest, how the romance in Oathbringer was handled kind of turned me off. I was game to ship Shadolin if only it had the same level of depth or intimacy that Shalladin had. Maybe if I saw more of Adolin's struggles (his reluctance to be a King, his insecurity over Kaladin) then I would've found his relationship with Shallan more interesting. I do see that Shadolin is the more 'healthier' option for Shallan (he lifts her up, understands her, was willing to step back for her to be happy) but I guess the reason why I'm still not sold on it is because I want more depth from it (maybe we'll find it in Book 4)

My theory is, Adolin will somehow get into a darker path and become Odium's champion. It's unfair of me to make Adolin a plot device because I do like him, but I think it'll be interesting how that situation would impact Kaladin and Shallan. Both have issues about other people hurting those they care about and I'll be thrilled to see how they'll bond over over losing Adolin.

As for Kaladin's love life....mmmmm....I kind of want the books to take a break from the whole romance plot. I mean the triangle was one of my favorite parts in WoR because how BS writes character relations is how I get to connect and feel the characters...but if SA is going to keep it's quality, I think it needs to take a break from the romance and look at the bigger picture. I'm up for Syladin to happen but not in a romantic sense...

I'm heartbroken about Shalladin falling through.

I see the Syladin ship happening but I don't really ship Syl and Kaladin romantically. It's kind of a Lilo and Stitch situation for me. That kind of bond and love is what I see them having in the future and I'm game for it to happen.

That being said, if Kaladin does end up with Syl (I doubt it'll be romantic but Kaladin choosing to staying devoted to his spren and his oaths is something I see him doing), I'll find it really amusing that he's going to be technically 'married' to his honor. Zuko anybody?

I've always pictured the Alethi people as Middle Eastern/ Indian descent. I second Mena Massoud if he could buff it up. Loved Aladdin!

Hello!

New to the forum but I've been reading BS since 2013 when I first grabbed a copy of Mistborn. I just finished Book 3 of Stormlight and completely heartbroken with the ending that I decided to participate in the forum for some catharsis haha!

I've been trying to post a design project I have in the fanworks forum but I'm having a bit of trouble in posting it because it apparently has a link and is considered spam? Yeah, still trying to figure that out but I'm really excited to share my fanart!
