Not entirely a fan species but I did draw fan art of a Tenasi based on exactly zero evidence.

There's nothing textual to support it at all, but ever since I first read 'Defending Elysium' the name Tenasi conjured up the mental image of a kind of incredibly fluffy snake flatworm. It probably enjoys warm hugs and having their first contact ship be shot out of the sky.

I love this!  Great drawing!

Me too. 

Just a point for future inspiration.  Dion teeth are pointed which is what makes the smile so disturbing.

Oh ok!  Thank you for telling me!

So I was thinking that for me, one of the coolest aspects about this new series by Brandon Sanderson is that it allows for endless possibilities for fan-content when it comes to alien species.  Starsight describes the Superiority as filled with variety without number, and if a species as "aggressive" as the Burl are allowed to join, then just about any alien species could join as long as the species isn't openly hostile towards the Superiority.  Obviously you can't make up your own "primary intelligence" species, because those spots are peopled by a limited number of races that Sanderson already has filled.

I thought that maybe we can fill this thread with everyone's own ideas for "Fan-Species".

I was on the other side of the coin from you @Govir, but I think that's because I only listened to the audiobook and it was being performed by a woman, so I automatically associated both of them to the female side of things. 

I do have to say that I'm also with you @Singer the Ooklalala. Once I get a mental picture, it's set and I can't change it no matter how much I try. Good to know it's not just me! ;-)

 

Oh I'm the exact same way.  Particularly since the narrator used an especially feminine voice for Morriumur.  

I’m messing with the Diones for my alien species pages and thought I’d show you all the WIP!

i know Morriumur’s face is supposed to have different features for each, but I only learned that after I drew this.

Welcome! Fanart is awesome, and I'm looking forward to what you draw/paint/etc. What's your favorite book by Brandon?

Mistborn!  Sazed's arc was incredible, and while Reckoners wasn't my favorite overall, the ending was nailed so well!  Brandon's is truly a master at the mystery box, but instead of a bunch of cheap magic tricks, there are profound and lovely insights into truth, goodness and beauty!

My name is Brent and I’ve been an avid listener to both “Writing Excuses” and all Brandon’s work on audible.  I joined because I just started doing fanart of Starsight and wanted to post them here.  I wasn’t able to post it because of the site’s restrictions on new members, so I’m participating in other capacities until then
