    I'm of the same opinion as OP. (My headcanon is perhaps not so big as baubles, but definitely bigger than the size of fingernails.) Some other misconceptions: - Sadeas: rather thin and Snape-like (I struggled for so long to change my depiction of him, and eventually draw him as fat and reddish, but fashionable at the same time…) - Dalinar: with NO beard (Just because many people believe he does wear a beard.) (But I'm not sure if this can be counted as one, since a WoB confirmed that he is clean shaven in most cases, IIRC.) - Kaladin: very tall and lanky, looks like an athlete (Fleet?) (But by carrying bridges, canon Kaladin is obviously much stronger and more muscular than my mental image.) - Alethi uniforms (especially Kholin uniforms) are Prussian. - Vorin havah is a mixture of Sari, Ao Dai, Qipao and Shalwar Kameez, but with NO buttons at the front. (I just can't put those two lines of buttons correctly…) - Thaylen eyebrows are VERY long. - The Shins are black. (*Facepalm again*) - Shardplate: close-fitting, something like a medieval Iron Man armor. (I always get the impresssion that the Shards are not completely made out of metal, but crystal or other things, and Shardblades must be translucent…) - Syl is blue. Stormlight is white verging on blue. Ivory dresses like a Count Dracula.

    Rysn, Axies, Wit, Zahel, Rock, Renarin or Mraize please!!! Want Rysn / Axies most. They are easily my favourite minor characters in SA, and I would thank Brandon a thousand times for mentioning their meeting in WoR XD Also happy to see a Jasnah / Lift / Lopen novella, which is more possible =) Still have hope of a Herald novella. (Strange, but I'd love to know more about Kalak and Taln.) Or, how about something in spren's POV?

    Funniest character: maybe Lopen or Rock Wit insulting others and Shallan quipping are both funny XD In WoK: - Renarin saying "nothing ridiculous" - Rock telling Kaladin and Teft his true name for the first time In WoR: - All the birds are called "chicken" - Boots incident ("No apologize! Boots!") (and everytime Shallan and Kaladin banter with each other) - Kaladin learning to ride horse (and what he did with Dreamstorm) - Pattern telling jokes (I mean what he said in chapter 60) - Shallan asking Adolin to slay some moss for her - Adolin admitting that he has shat his Plate three times - Adolin saying that he wanted to pay to see a happy Kaladin (and everytime these two have interactions) (Adolin is such a cutie in this book ) - Shallan hugging Wit (This scene made my day, yay!) That's all I can think of for now

    Magic Users from Sel

    Botanica posted a gallery image in Elantris Art

    Magic Users from Sel
    We’ve seen five Investitures on Sel so far, so I picked five characters who perform those arts =) (They’re also from five different nations.) - Raoden (Arelon) / AonDor 
- Wan ShaiLu (MaiPon) / Forgery 
- Weedfingers (Dzhamar) / Bloodsealing
 - Hrathen (Fjordell) / Dakhor [R.I.P.]
 - Shuden (Jindo) / ChayShan I’m really excited about the 10th anniversary Elantris! (Full size: [x]) # # # Portrait version (Click to enlarge) (Or view the album: [x])

    Your take on Adolin is quite awesome! I like it (Yay for Adolin! Because there's just too much Kaladin and Shallan art there ) So far as I know, there's probably not so much art of Nightwatcher around, so every art piece is precious. Hope we will find more about her in the future books!

    When reading WoK, I always thought Shin people are dark-skinned... Really don't know why because there're descriptions in book say that they have pale skin. So... my first Szeth fan art is drawn wrong and not until Mr. Inkthinker pointed it out did I realize that I made a huge mistake! (* Facepalm*) Then I would never forget this fact

    Sometimes I use Stormfather! but then realize the curse word is too long…

    Wow, cool idea! Upvoted! I'll be the next Emperor's Soul stuff ↓

    Way Of Kings 2
    Awesome! Minimalistic design is always so beautiful

    I also do the translation of WoR, so here is a suggestion: in Chinese mainland version, "Unmade" is translated as a word which has similar meaning to "destroyer". (I agree with @dvoraen)

    Part 4 comes yay! Incredible as always! Chasm scene is so good! (That chasmfiend *o*) Made me want to see a SA Lego movie! Really anticipate Part 5, which is the most epic part.
  15. Botanica
    Nice work! I reeeally like your depiction of Wit =)
  16. Botanica
    Another change is in chapter 88: I must apologize for that earlier tumblr post! Now that Brandon officially announced the tweaking, I think it's okay to post this here

    I'll say short stories because they're too short and reveal too little of a world. (But I do enjoy The Emperor's Soul after reread.) For novels, perhaps Warbreaker and Alloy of Law. For no reason, I just couldn't get into the story very quicky. I think my first read-through was too forced. Maybe I just need to reread them =)
  18. Botanica
    The Way of Kings cover is my all time favourite! I just like the epic feeling of it (That highstorm, wow!). As the first book of SA, WoK really makes a good start.

    That's the question I desperately want to ask. I always assume he has light blue eyes just like his brother and father, but it's also likely that he inherits his mother's eye color, I don't know exactly. Hopefully we will get some answers later! (A very big fan art problem!)

    Thanks! This playlist helps a lot! I'm listening to it while translating the last chapters of WoR and it feels so good

    Someone really asked this during signing?! I can never thank him or her enough! So one problem is solved and I can translate this word into my mother tongue properly (Also thanks, Zea mays, for posting the transcript except!)

    Hello all! I noticed this sparkflicker thing when rereading WoK and WoR, but couldn't quite get what it is. Till now, the word appears twice (emphasis is mine): And we also have a saying of Lopen: Flick my sparks! I think this probably comes from the sparkflicker. My first thought? It can be a typical Herdazian ornament, and I did a search in Coppermind and SA Wikia to see how it goes: - The Coppermind says: A sparkflicker was an ornament or article of clothing that was worn by some Herdazians on Roshar. - SA Wikia says: A sparkflicker is a type of ornamentation worn, typically, by Herdazians. Havarah, however, of mixed descent, did not wear a sparkflicker. It seems that I'm on the right track. But how exactly does a sparkflicker look like? Is it kind of a stick or torch used by some firebreathers or something? I couldn't quite imagine it. I also wonder the actual meaning of that Lopen saying. If anyone can muse on this, that will be of great help!
