That's amazing as always Telrao!!! :DDD

Thank youu!! *gives muffin*

Hey guys! Have some art!!

Sketches

Digital!!

A friend and I have been working on a Mandalorian/Star Wars story together, which I'm planning to write in my final month of freedom before Uni kicks up for the year!

If anyone has some tips for digital art, I'm definitely open to it! I use a Wacom tablet and pen, and Firealpaca the digital platform.

See y'all next time!

Allrighty folks! Apologies for the double post, but I have officially updated and edited most chapters that have been released. There have been some pretty major changed in episodes 3, 4, and 8, with some more details added into other episodes to flesh out the story a bit better. I still haven't finished episode 9 (sorry!) and will try to get to get that done within the week  I forgot how long it takes to actually write things! I also start my first year of Uni in a month (awesome but scary!!) and won't have that much time to write this stuff. I do hope to wrap up Season 1 soon, though, so stay tuned!

Enjoy, and God bless! *throws muffins*

(Here ya go, @Ookla the Arbiter!)

Absolutely

Here I was, hoping that you'd written a bunch more while you were gone so when you came back I'd be able to read  I probably need to reread parts 1-8 anyway.

Sorry about that  I definitely meant to, but life got pretty busy and this fell on the backburner.

I am making some pretty big changes from episode 3 onwards, just to fix some things up - so I'll let you know when I edit those so you can read them with the proper foreshadowing in place

Telrao! WHERE IS THE CAT!

Patience, my dear Platypus! I have come across a few continuity errors that I need to iron out (or uh, more than a few...). I'm busy for the next couple days, but I'm hoping to be able to get the next episode out by the 27th. We'll see how that goes though  

I have also discovered that I DEFINITELY need to re-read Elantris, just so everything is lore-correct  So don't worry! The cat will come!!

I also eat a cookie.

Suppose you are stranded on a dessert island with only a ration bar and a live chicken. Which do you eat first?

(Ah HA I've seen this one before!!) I would eat the island, cuz it's a "dessert" not a "desert" island  

I, observing everything through an Aon Nae, wonder at how people have so quickly lost sight of the true goal: The Sandwich. Seeing as it is currently imprisoned or... something... I quickly use a set of Aon Tia with LOTS of modifiers to teleport the Sandwich to my position. Once it is in my paws, I quickly disguise it using Aon Shao, making it look like a fashionable top hat, then prance away, sporting a new, and very delicious, hat.

The actual guard dog (the Faceless Immortal Ulaam) steps out of the door with the sandwich. What the Ten Fools did not know was that the sandwich I gave him was a bomb. Blam!

I emerge from the Beyond, where I had spent the past two years. I sit down and mew very sweetly at DezaS. He cannot help but give me the Sandwich because of my cuteness, and I prance away.

Tanner considered murder of chasmfiends, so Simon assassinated Venli, but brutally failed. So Venli murdered Alene, forcing the Ghostbloods

What's up? Long-time listener to shardcast, first time actually posting something here. Finished Wind and Truth recently and definitely feeling the "what do I do with my life now that it is over" feels. I have a really fun idea for a Wind and Truth T-shirt for Brandon, but it is a major spoiler so I think it will have to wait. It has to do with the end of day 6 

Yay! Another cat

Felicitations and welcome to the Shard! Wind and Truth was certainly a Journey

Hey 17th Shard! New here to the forums within the last few weeks, and I just created my account. I have been reading cosmere for about 4 years now(started with WoK in February of 2021). I absolutely love learning about the cosmere and its unique mechanics. I have read all of the cosmere besides White Sand(I read the prose excerpt in AU, and am super excited for the full prose release)

Welcome to the Shard! It is a joy to have you here  

If you could choose one Sanderson character to have a tea/coffee with, who would it be?

ThANK YOU!!! IN GENERAL AND FOR THE MUFFIN I WILL CHEERISH IT

Yipeeeeeee another silm fan *does a little dance* I love silly little elf men

I actually haven't been using colored pencils that long, I started a few months ago, but it really clicked with me so I've been loving it hehe

:DDD

The elves are such goobers - my Mom and I are the only members of my family that have read it lol. I just love the idea of the world starting with a song, and the whole thing with Morgoth causing dissonance, it just sang to me! Definitely need to read it again  

Nice! It always feels so good when something just clicks

HELLO THERE

THIS IS MY SIX THOUSANDATH POST THAT'S KIND WILD

@Through The Living Glass @Kajsa @Spark of Hope @Halcyon The Only @The Bookwyrm (tagging wyrmie cause a while back he told me he looked at my gallery images but those are all over a year old and I need to prove my stuff is marginally better now'a'days, I have honor to defend) 

+other people who didn't vote, but I don't want to randomly mass tag . . . love ya'll 

We'll start off the AP pieces I haven't shared yet (I have shared some wip's of these ones in the last few pages)

  Reveal hidden contents

One I just finished:

hear me out, it looks better IRL . . . when we were looking at the photographs of it to chose the best photo I didn't pick the best one and that's on me.

It is pretty desaturated on purpose though, all of my other pieces have been super over-saturated, so I was trying to take it in the exact opposite direction with this one.

Ref:

Also, if you happen to recognize the location don't worry about it I don't live there, I was there on a trip so

Big boy painting I made for an art show that's happening rn (I get to hear the winners Friday, wish me luck)

Also those are my initials in the signature but I don't care you won't figure it out.

I already posted the ref and some wip pictures of this on the previous page, and I'm too lazy to go get them again so just click over.

This one is favorite, I don't remember if I posted the wip (I think I did . . .) but once again I'm too lazy to get the ref and it looks better without direct comparison so just look at it:

Isn't that nice.

(this one is also being sent down to competition and museum in the spring, along with the first one!)

Okay . . . other stuff

Guys I mostly draw Tolkien fanart so brace yourselves.

  Hide contents

Colored pencil Maedhros, also known as THE HOT GINGER, from the Silmarillion:

Colored Pencil Makalaurë (AKA my beloved), also a little guy from the Silmarillion

Little Frodo doodles because we did a marathon of the trilogy and he's so me:

He's just a little guy

Young Celeborn and Galadriel dancing because they are becoming one of my favorite ships out of spite:

OC drawing that I like:

Oh, there's this study I did that looks pretty cool I guess, my realistic faces suck so I was doing skull stuff:

I don't actually have as much stuff as I thought I would, sorry about that guys  I have like 15 hobbies

- - -

why not include something extra and fun because of the special occasion 

  Reveal hidden contents

This is a really old sketch/ fanart that I did YEARS ago in my math notebook . . . so it's not very technically good but

The idea was to do the pose from the framed picture in Botw (back when botw felt relevant)

This one:

But with some of the main Stormlight Archive characters because Sophmore me thought it'd be cute, (and I still think it's cute, even if it's very nerdy)

There they are:

Notice my notes on the side because I was planning on re-doing it as a colored illustration and I wanted to fix some things, but never got to it 

So we have:

Dalinor in the place of Daruk (Top right)

Jasnah in the place of Urbosa (Top left)

Kaladin in the place of Revali (Far left)

Shallan in the place of Zelda (Bottom middle)

Adolin in the place of Link (Middle right)

Renarin in the place of Mipha (Bottom right corner)

Maybe it's a little cringy, but I was so happy to find it again recently because it's so silly! 

As always thinks for reading guys!!!

Though at this rate I won't return to the thread before 7000 posts . . . maybe I should try a little harder to be consistent.

O MA GOODNESS I LOVE IT ALL!!!

Another Silmarillion reader *salutes you* yayy! Your coloured pencil skills are SO GOOD I LOVE YOUR STYLE!!! And the sketch of the Stormlight crew it is SO CUTE AAAA!!!! TAKE THE REP!! *throws muffin named 'The Rep'"

Alllrighty y'all! As promised, some sketchies! I had to go through not one but TWO sketchbooks to gather these, but it was pretty fun to see my progression over time - and I think you guys will enjoy it too! I'm picking the highlights of my sketchbooks, because most pages are just chaotic scribbles tryna figure out how to draw things  

I've decided to catagorise these by year, so that the progression is easier to see 

2023

 2024

2025

Whew! We made it! Thanks for viewing my artful mayhem  Hopefully, I'll be able to do a fortnightly post with sketches and perhaps some actual art for y'all to see. God bless!
