some of the most iconic scenes in my opinion are:
When Kaladin beats the Shardbearer in defense of Amaram (Undeniably one of the most powerful scenes in my opinion)
When Adolin's blade whispered her (his?) name to him (seemed like a prelude to something big in my opinion)
When Syl saves Kaladin from the edge of desperation at the Honor Chasm. Her innocence to the severity of the situation made for amazing contrast
As for how I got interested in this field, it happened gradually. When I was in high school, I enrolled in a new media arts option. It was my first time experimenting with expressing art through a digital media. Though I really liked art, I was never a very good artist myself. This option gave me tools to express myself in ways I could never do before. I may not be a great artist still, but I get to have results that I can actually be proud of (unlike the results of my sketches). Then I got introduced to blender. Blender is a free open source 3d modeling software that can do pretty much anything. After following some of the tutorials on youtube, I got hooked, and blender became my primary hobby besides my study. Then, I got into 3d printing through university. I'm an engineering student at my university and as part of the hands-on learning experience, we got access to the 3d printers. Again, playing around with them, I enjoyed it a lot and made it into another hobby of mine. Due to covid, I can't access the 3d printers anymore but I'm hoping they'll be reopened soon.
Finally, for my first Stormlight archive project, I'll be doing some of the iconic Sharblades in the story (such as Elhokar's, Dalinar's and Gavilar's). I know I said I'll do characters but I decided to start off with the blades as they're easier to make into 3d models, then I'll get into characters.
