Moving this to Cosmere Discussion, as it touches on more than just Stormlight.

Allomancy doesn't work like that, unfortunately. Gold and malatium Mistings are distinct in the same way steel and iron Mistings are. We are trying to make the idea that atium can be burned by anyone, just like lerasium can (an idea Brandon seems to be toying with), work.

Thank you for sharing your art with us I think I recognize the format, with the three circles, so I've probably seen your other illustrations... elsewhere online? Good job either way!

Cosmere Inktober is an annual month-long art challenge, much like NaNoWriMo for writers. During the month of October, Cosmere fans complete illustrations for the 31 daily prompts. Because the 2021 run is now over and this article has been sitting in the backlog for like 2 months, forgotten, we can all go back and look at some of the wonderful art (plus a handful of cursed pieces :P) this talented fandom has produced. We wanted to take a little bit of time and highlight a few artists who completed all 31 Cosmere Inktober 2021 prompts, and also showcase a few of our favorite pieces to come out of this month. Congratulations to: Connor Chamberlain (Instagram) Curly Tale (Instagram) Egilde (Instagram) elisgardor (Instagram) Eric Gan (Instagram) Marie Seeberger (Instagram) Zoe Thatcher (Instagram) ... and probably a few others (lazifyre finished almost all of them, for example) And now, let's go over some of our favorites, from both these artists, and others. Remember that you can always check your favorite social media website for #CosmereInktober21 or #CosmereInktober2021 hashtags for more - Instagram specifically broke 1,000 posts this year! But enough talk, let's look at some art!

Journey Before Destination - Panorama Art (WoR spoil!)
Argent replied to Sasha's topic in Sanderson Fan Works
Jasnah, you say -
So, turns out we have an extra art commission for you all, because the other September piece left us with too much money in our art budget. No real connection between the two, we just grabbed the runner-up from that month and did... well, not quite that, but something similar. Art once again brought to you by Shuravf. As promised, Phendorana! -
Oh, friends, what a glorious day it is for us to have eyes! 2021's Coppermind art commission for September came in not too long ago, and it's a looker. It comes to you from the skilled hand of Shuravf whose work you've seen before, and will continue seeing in the future. But you don't come here to read read words, you come here to see all the beautiful and horrible things we pay people to paint, so let's get on with the show! Tada! Here's Nikli, the Sleepless who was following Rysn around throughout Dawnshard, trying to get her to not go to Aimia. This illustration depicts him as he appears soon after realizing the Dawnshard had been taken - body struggling to maintain its human form, head exploding with flying hordelings, hand reaching menacingly towards Rysn. As always, if you want to pitch your own ideas for future art commissions, or vote in future polls (or like any of the other perks we offer), consider supporting us on Patreon - where you can also find the full HD version of this illustration, as well as all of our previous commissions. -
It's the holiday season and all around the world people are decorating their homes with blinking lights, shiny ornaments and... sexy Returned? Well, that's certainly a way to have a good time over the holidays, eh, Siri? For this illustration, we worked with the immensely talented Caio Santos, whose work you can find over on ArtStation and Twitter (or you might recognize it from his amazing paintings already present on the Coppermind). This is likely not the last of him you will see here, friends, but until there's more, enjoy what we have As you may have guessed already, our November piece depicts Susebron in the moments after Lightsong healed him, the full power of the God King manifesting as he Awakens cloths, carpets, and tapestries in his wake, and Commanding them to restrain Bluefingers and his Lifeless guards (not present here, because there's already a lot going on...) and save Siri's life. Enjoy this (somewhat downscaled, because the forum doesn't like large files) version below, or visit our Patreon for the original image. -
Linnea. @Otto Didact suggested it during the Sunreach spoiler period, and Janci liked the name, so she's been rolling with it. Regarding readings and Arcanum audio, things may either not happen, or take a little while. The official release event was livestreamed (privately) on YouTube, but I expect that one to become public at a later date (personal speculation). I am being told that the Spoiler Q&A was also recorded by Dragonsteel, presumably with the intent to post it at some point, but we don't know anything more there. Until these things become public, the only stuff we'll be putting in Arcanum are people's personal reports here, and elsewhere on the Internet. So if anyone has WoBs still fresh in their memory, post away

I would say that paraphrasing Q&A is okay.

Incorrect citations in Herald articles
Argent replied to Inquisitor #5's topic in The Coppermind Wiki
Hey, thanks for reporting these, and also doing a bit of extra work to find the correct citations! Let me start addressing this by saying that the Coppermind is a public wiki and everyone can help keep it accurate (in fact, we kind of depend on that, because there's only a handful of regular contributors). As it turns out, updating citations, especially from chapter to another, is one of the easiest changes you can make - so let me walk you through the process, in case you find any other issues like that. If you touch the pencil icon (or click on the Edit button) next to the section you want to edit, you should see something like this: The {{book ref|sa3|38}} there at the end is what generates the citation - "book ref" to create a reference to a specific book, "sa3" is our special code for Oathbringer, and 38 for chapter 38. So if you wanted to change that to 42, all you'd need to do is update the number. Would you like to try your hand at this? You don't have to, but for things like these, it's often both easier and faster for the person spotting the error to fix it, than to write a report and wait on the regular editors to pick it up. -
It's more subtle, just generally evoking both the old logo's shape, and the idea of something being broken off.

Spooky month is now over, but our patrons voted for their favorite spooky piece back in October, and we come to deliver. Come feast your eyes on this absolutely disgusting depiction of a Cryptic having been pulled into the Physical Realm (and the back of Dalinar's body). This illustration comes to you courtesy to the ever-excellent Nozomi. You can see an even larger version of the illustration over on our Patreon. -
Heh, having a marketing/SEO team (or any kind of team really), or hiring even a single person is probably going to be out of the picture for years to come, at best. We try to present ourselves professionally, but we are, at the end of the day, just a bunch of volunteers. Tapping the community for some kind of organized effort might be a good idea though. We'd have to understand a little better what kind of needs visually impaired people have, and how to best aid them with alt text (because I wouldn't even know where to start - though that Hubspot page does look like a good resource). So we'll keep this in mind
-
This is something I personally know very little about, but it's been lowkey on my radar of things I think we could be doing better. It's not something we specifically are planning to do, but I agree that we should, and it's mostly a matter of doing it well (and wrangling the sites' software suites into cooperating). So if this is something you know something about, I would value your thoughts, and any resources that might be useful to us in the future.
-
Yeah, I've been thinking about this, and I don't think that I have a good answer. Southern tech is still super unclear to me, and I don't have much to contribute to this.
-
D: Excuse me, Brandon had nothing but good things to say about me in the most recent livestream!
-
I am curious how you even managed to dig this up Looking throughout the pages, I might get some amount of merch to be shipped to me, but I don't like the (mini)con's COVID protocols, so I think I'll skip on the actual attendance. I hope there will be more release parties / conventions like this one in the future that I can attend.

We have a couple of WoBs coming from Sandertrack director Billy Todd, which he reported verbally to me soon after he got them, and in text to @Kaymyth. Instead of including Facebook Messenger screenshots, I am just going to transcribe them verbatim:

The Arcanum tag system is useful, but not quite 100% polished, so there are some quirks. Let's use this thread to report them. Specifically we are looking for: Duplicate tags. Sometimes, when adding tags to an entry, you might notice that there are multiple tags that express the same concept, but are phrased or spelled slightly differently - for example, both #truthwatchers and #order of truthwatchers exist right now. This is not ideal, and it doesn't happen often, but it does happen, and we'd like to fix things like that by choosing one of these, and updating all the entries using the other one (and then deleting the obsolete tag). Tags without entries. There is no automatic system that cleans up orphaned tags (i.e. tags with no entries under them), so we have to delete those manually. This happens sometimes when we accidentally misspell a tag (which creates a tag with a bad name) or when we learn the name of a new book and have to replace the old placeholder tag with a new one (e.g. right now we need to replace #stormlight 4 with #rhythm of war). Tags with bad names. Sometimes typos and other spelling artifacts sneak into our tags (e.g. #sadeas 10 is a tag that exists now, presumably because somebody wanted to apply the #sadeas tag, and there were 10 entries with that tag, and the count got attached to the tag somehow). New tags. Regular users can no longer create new tags, so if there's a tag you think we might benefit from, let us know.
-
This is all pretty different from the usual process, so I don't know. No harm in asking there though.
-
Discord is definitely going to be your best bet, it's much more real time. I don't know if anyone has anything planned at this point, but I imagine I and the people I know will set something up and generally move as a single group, with individual people coming and going at times.
-
Heh, nah, have fun
-
Who knows, probably not knowing whether to look at Brandon or the camera.
