  1. Eliira jumped, then breathed out and smiled. "Erm, hi!" She turned to Zir'ii. "You never said I'd have to interact with other human beings!" She whispered furiously. You never said you didn't want to. Zir'ii huffed to her mind. He burst into a ribbon of amber light and zipped past her and into the Inn. "Hey! Wait! Uhm..." Eliira trailed off, remembering that there was, after all, another human at the door. "Eh, may I come in? My spren..." She glanced to Fadran's shoulder, where Zir'ii had reformed into a tiny dragon, invisible to his new chauffeur. "Ehm, got us stuck here until the next moon cycle."
  2. A swirling storm of amber leaves floated in the air, twisting and turning into a portal that opened, dumping a young woman of around 19 onto the ground. She stood and dusted her skirt, laughing. "That was fun, Zir'ii!" She exclaimed. An amber ribbon of light twisted around her, eventually weaving itself into the form of a small dragon, a handspan tall. "Can we do it again?" The tiny dragon settled onto her shoulder. No, Eliira. We can do that only once a full moon cycle. He said to her mind. "Wh- once a moon cycle? Zir'ii, why didn't you tell me earlier??" The tiny dragon made no reply. "Hmph." Eliira grunted. "Be that way, then." She dusted herself again, sneezed, then turned to look at the sign hanging at the inn's door. "Mishmash Inn..." She read. She turned and looked at Zir'ii. "Wanna go in?" Why not? He grunted. Not like we can get back to the homeland anytime soon. "Yeah, great, magical-ribbon-of-light-spren-thing." Eliira replied, walking to the door. She raised a hand to knock.
  3. Halloo again, Humans! I have yet another poem for you - this one from Dalinar's perspective.
    (Be warned that there are mild spoilers for Oathbringer, so it has been spoilered :D)

    Enjoy!

    Spoiler

    Boon and Bane.

    Open eyes, dream wide awake.
    Pray no one stumbles across your path.

    Darkness encroaching, hold back,
    Pulled by the soul to some unmarked track.

    Bleeding, broken, desperate,
    Reach the warm whispering forests.

    Dark silence flows like thick smoke,
    Through the trees and vines, grasping, gasping.

    Stumbling, falling face first,
    Looking up to see the stark nightmares.

    Screaming and bright. Burning flames.
    Thousands buried in burnt wood and stone.

    The Nightwatcher comes, creeping.
    Sleek, eerie, haunting, unnatural.

    Breath comes desperately now.
    Another figure, lucid and green.

    She moves, one with the forest,
    Vines curling and purring at her touch.

    One boon to speak. One to wish.
    The figure grants pruning from the pain.

    Emerge from the tang’ling brush,
    The pain is gone. What was the boon wished?

    Shake head, breathe deep, smile wide. Strength.
    No matter. Idiocy was spoken.

    But there is something new here.
    A hollow, empty space in the mind.

    Shrug, walk tall and strong. Prideful,
    The Nightwatcher’s Boon and Bane ling’ring.

    I do have a MASSIVE backlog of arts and sketchies to upload - expect an avalanche in a week or so.

    Good Evening, Good Morning and Good Night!

  4. Welp, I wrote a poem from Kaladin's perspective, so now I gotta write one from Shallan's perspective! Here y'all go!!

    Fury and Fear

    Fists clenched, anger barely curbed,
    Bottled up and ready to burst.
    Breathe. Breathe. Calm is needed.
    Breathe deep of the sweet air.

    Angry footsteps in the hall,
    Back pressed against the cold stone wall,
    Fear crawling up the spine,
    Breathe deep of the cool air.

    Anxiety, hot hatred,
    Fearful screams building in the chest.
    Tense, awaiting the shouts.
    Breathe deep of the calm air.

    Doors slam, blood pours across boards,
    Hide trembling hands in long silk sleeves.
    Fearful, anxious, afraid…
    Breathe deep and forget all.

    ------

    Hope y'all liked it! Also a bit dark... but uhm, that's Shallan's past. Anyways, have a wonderful day, Humans! Catch y'all in the next one!

      Also, happy new year! Gee, 2023's gonna be funky.

  5. Coloured shading simply means coloured pencils for shading - in other words, non graphite pencils. (although I'm not sure if you used normal graphite or not ) Coloured shading is generally considered tricky with coloured pencils, as you have to used a number of different colours in order to achieve detailed shading. Like adding purple to the darker areas to give the impression of shade, and adding a lighter colour to a darker one to create light, ect.

  7. People have been posting poetry lately, so I decided to write a poem from Kaladin's perspective!

    It's a little dark, and slightly gory, but if you've read Brandon Sanderson, you're used to it!

    Ta da!

    Broken

    Broken.
    Bridgemen shot down,
    Screaming as they fall, mere bait.

    Broken.
    Eyes burning,
    Death, Shardblade sweeping though ranks.

    Broken.
    Tien dying,
    Speared though, his eyes dead, lifeless.

    Broken.
    A young girl,
    Her lifeblood bled out, red pools.

    Broken.
    A young man,
    Jerking and soon falling still.

    Broken.
    Screaming nearby.
    The horrors overwhelming...

    Healing.
    A small light,
    Holding back the storms, the fear.

    Hope.
    Oaths spoken,
    Slowly, pushing back darkness.

      Aww, so sad! The poor guy... definitely needs healing and hope.

      @IheartKaladin4eva, you will enjoy this.

      She needs to be summoned.

      i-its beautiful. *sniff* not me actually tearing up :ph34r::(:wub:

  8. Woah! That's awesome!!! *throws rep at Shallan Stormblessed* Your coloured shading on the horns is *chef's kiss* excellent! Coloured shading gets me every time
  9. Yeahhh artistic liberty is da best! Have you tried using natural references for unnatural things? Like using gazelle horns, then making them look metallic?
  10. Hi! Haven't posted on here for a while... so have some poetry! I just wrote this stuff randomly, so apologies if it's bad Ze collection: Hope y'all enjoyed! I'll put some arts on here soon! Have a wonderful day, Humans!!
  11. Bros your art is awesome! And hey, even if ya got El wrong, you had practice drawing Parshendi! I may have to draw some of those
  12. Yes! Yes, Telrao will absolutely meet Kaladin! I'm looking forward to writing that
  13. Greetings, Humans! Merry Christmas to you all! In celebration, have Episode 5 of Telrao's Adventures!!! *Excited piccolo noises* Updated 2025 Version Original Version (2022) This one is even longer than the last one - so um... sorry! Apologies for the long wait. Have some Author's notes! This contains some spoilers for upcoming seasons and episodes, and also a couple spoilers for TWoK and Elantris. So read carefully! Thanks for reading! Have a wonderful Christmas, and a Happy New Year!
  14. Thanks for the follow! *hugs platonically* *gives you a muffin*

    Get better soon! You're awesome, ma dude!

  15. There's a wonderful thing called harp guitars. They're SUPER COOL and my brother wants to get one one day. Imagine a normal acoustic guitar - body and neck, all normal, then above that, you have half a harp stuck on top. I suggest looking them up and watching some people play them, because storms, they sound amazing. It's basically two instruments, but you can play them at the same time!
  16. Arg! A sentient potato! Potato apocalypse / 10!
  17. It's almost Christmas. This time it's slightly stressful. I need to make gifts.
  18. Ayyy the guitar! Acoustic, electric, or harp?
  19. This is indeed true, good sir. And I agree wholeheartedly to your statements. Essays are created to ensure that we waste as much time in exams, and cause our hands to ache as we write three four-to-five page essays in three hours. Although, Language Analysis Essays are fun, because you can study how an author uses certain devices, then put it into your own work! Or, well, I'm insane. But that's fine!!
  20. That's what they want you to think - they give pointed examples so that students will better be able to understand those, but if you really want good grades, you reach out for something less studied and focus on that At least, that's been my experience.
  21. They said I wouldn't survive the goat.... They didn't realise I WAS the goat!
  22. Helooo Humans! I have returned for an extremely short period of time and will soon abandon you all again for the real world!

    I finished Rhythm of War! And wow. I realised a few things.

    One: I hate Moash and I’m going to defenestrate then decapitate him if I ever have the chance.
    Two: I also dislike Tarivangian. Read the Epilogue of Rhythm of War and you’ll know.
    Three: Wit is one of the best characters. Try me. (HOID FOR LIFE YEAH!!!)
    Four: KALADIN. YES KALADIN. (No, there will be no explanation.)
    And Five: I’m going to read SA again. I’ve got a month of freedom and I ain’t gonna waste it on doing useful things! What kind of a monster do you think I am?!

    So, as of today, I have read (almost) three Sanderson series: The Reckoners, The Stormlight Archives, and Mistborn (except for TLM. My library doesn’t have it yet and I’m very sad.)

    I have recently purchased the Skyward series (and yes, this will be the fourth time I’ve read the first book) and will soon re-enter and explore the Cytoverse. I think I need to take a bit of a break from reading *nervous laughter* (no, I definitely won’t take a break)

    Some time in the near future I’ll post some of the art I’ve been making (although, some of its only the design process, as I gave the art away before I took a picture of it) and will put up the next episode of Telrao’s Adventures. I’m currently working on two other books – which are not presentable, although I will definitely give you guys the drafts to beta read (expect those in 1-2 years. Sorry!) and am contemplating my magic systems and thinking of giving them  a rejig

    Also, exciting things happening in the real world!

    We had the Carols yesterday at our church, and I was a backup singer (whoo). It was fun – and surprisingly enjoyable, despite the fact that I was forced into this against my will. I think that years of musicals and being a chorus member in said musicals really helped with stage fright – and plus, nobody’s looking at you. They’re looking at their lyrics, the trees, the birds, or the other members of the band and singing along – they aren’t staring at the small group of backup singers. Did I say something about trees and birds? We were outside our church, and there is a wonderful slope that forms almost a natural amphitheater. The temperature was perfect (I’m in Australia, ye ones in the Northern Hemisphere. So it is summer where I am, and perfectly fine to be outside) and there was a lovely breeze to keep us cool!

    We (the Carols band) are doing another Carols this Friday – this time, a community Carols. So I won’t know many the people in the audience. Dunno if that’ll help with the butterflies or not, but we’ll see. Wish us luck!

    Sorry for the long SU! Have a wonderful and blessed Christmas season, Humans!

      I didn't know you hadn't read RoW! 

      Also, I thoroughly agree with your KALADIN! YES KALADIN!

      Although I do wonder if you mean just YES to Kaladin in general, or if you mean YAY KALADIN YOU HAVE ACHIEVED!

      Either way, I agree.

      Also. He BETTER get a nice, peaceful book next time. Because ALL of his other books have been painful.

      TWoK: Bridge crews/slavery/everything else

      WoR: Being put in prison and then being betrayed

      O: Forced to watch his friends kill each other then watch his friend kill a man he was sworn to protect.

      RoW: Forced out of fighting, finds that that's okay and maybe he's going to find some peac--NO HE HAS TO FIGHT AGAIN! ALONE(almost)! WHILE BEING SENT AWFUL NIGHTMARES!

      KoWT: Gets a puppy in Shinovar? Makes friends with Szeth? Starts to heal?

       

      Hopefully?

      I'm currently making a comic in which Wit shows Kaladin a cat. I feel like Kal's a cat person, or maybe I'm biased.

      I'll put that in my creative corner once it's done :P Could be a while tho haha

      Ooooh, I can't wait!

  23. Holy SCUD you don't know? I mean, this is one of the more recent ones (I mean like six or seven years ago but whatever). That line is from the episode Robin Good - dealing with betrayal? I think? Anyways, it's got a song about ham in it, and that's amazing.
