  1. I second this =) I mean, not just fan art, we actually need a place to store and share our Brandon-related art ideas, because those worlds are all perfect for visual development.
  2. Thanks for the updates! If anyone is interested, here's a compendium of all the cosmere-related WoBs from Update 4: [Reddit WoB] [Oathbringer Spoilers] Stormlight Three Update #4.txt
  3. Finally got to see some official TES art... And I was like... AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! (*Screams happily for quite a while, as a passionate Shai fangirl*) Really awesome work! Though Shai's hair is a bit shorter than I thought EDIT: Oh no I'm too excited to say anything...
  4. SirSavien1 on Reddit posted their question about Syl:
  5. This is really amazing news (for the sake of Brandon himself and the whole fandom), though I'm also worried and skeptical like most of you here. I always imagine that SA would work well as a TV series or animated/graphic novel series. (Man, I'm so dying to see it animated...) Film adaption just sounds kind of meh, unless it is handled with great care. However, I know some guys from Chinese DMG who are in charge of Brandon's book/film franchise. I can feel their passion and they are actually very into cosmere. Perhaps we can trust them a bit more =) (It's a pity that I missed the chance to work with them.)
  6. Question: Also a weird question, has Hoid ever had a romantic interest? Question: Do you have any further plans about Moash? Will he have more screen time in Stormlight 3? Question: So WoR mentions a particularly bright star known as the Tear (a reference to a tear shed by somebody named Reya) is that "star" actually one of the other planets in the greater roshar system, if so is it Ashyn or Braize? Here are the subtitled videos: 问题1-2.mp4 问题3&4.mp4
  7. Nights! This made my day!!! Thanks so much for asking this. I become more excited about Elantris sequels now =)
  8. A broken soul has cracks into which something else can be fit. Emotional Kaladin & Shallan.
  9. This is what I got from the signing via a friend (Thank him for that!): Question: When writing Stormlight, did you get any inspirations from the Chinese Confucian system? The Azish government really reminds me of that. Question: Also a weird question, has Hoid ever had a romantic interest? Question: Do you have any further plans about Moash? Will he have more screen time in Stormlight 3? Question: So WoR mentions a particularly bright star known as the Tear (a reference to a tear shed by somebody named Reya) is that "star" actually one of the other planets in the greater roshar system, if so is it Ashyn or Braize? (The first two questions are from me. The last question is from @WeiryWriter. Also thanks for the updates above!) Side note: I'm really excited about reading Moash's PoVs in Stormlight 3!
  10. My mental image for those Windblades is always like this: It is from Zhangye National Geopark, located in Gansu Province, China. Perfect for Kholinar =)
  11. I once saw the original image of this on Reddit, and you can visit here: https://m.reddit.com/r/Stormlight_Archive/comments/3qc6tv/no_spoilers_this_is_what_i_imagine_a_modern_day/?utm_source=mweb_redirect&compact=true
  12. It is in Chinese =) The words on the left: Overview of stamp magic - Forgery & Bloodsealing (Because in the following pages I'd love to do an infographic about these two arts.) The character on the right means forms.
  13. Oh man this is gold! Upvote! After reading your post, I really want to see this happen =) (They are my top two favorite female characters in SA.)
  14. Ouch. This piece may contain minor spoilers for Edgedancer. I shouldn't say much about it now. But I believe, before the ending of WoR, he did shave himself most of the time.
  15. From the album: The Emperor's Soul Art Book

  16. From the album: The Emperor's Soul Art Book

    A part of The Emperor’s Soul art book (sort of) I always want to make. It is in the stamp magic section

  18. INTRODUCTION So, there’re basically thirteen races (or at least thirteen races so far, if you divide those cultures into more parts) on Roshar: the Alethi, the Vedens, the Unkalaki (aka the Horneaters), the Herdazians, the Thaylens, the Natan, the Makabaki, the Selay, the Iriali, the Shin, the Reshi, the Listeners and the Aimians. Note: Here I used one of my old art created by the Chibi Maker to visualize the descriptions, though there’re still some minor inaccuracies. I really wanted to do a complete graphic chart, but it is still far off. Brandon's comment on this: A LIST OF HUMAN RACES 1. The Alethi (People of Alethkar) 1) Common features: tall stature, tan skin, black hair, lighteyes and darkeyes 2) Inspiration from Earth: Asian-Hawaiian people (You can imagine them as east-Indian people.) [source], Asian-Arab people [source] Kaladin is an Asian-Middle Eastern mix. [source] 3) Brandon's choice: Dave Bautista for Dalinar [source], Alex Landi for Adolin [source] How about the Iriali and Alethi mix we have going on with Adolin and Renarin: 2. The Vedens (People of Jah Keved) 1) Common features: fair skin, red hair, lighteyes and darkeyes 2) Inspiration from Earth: Asian-Caucasian people (supposedly more Asian-like) [source], red-haired Uyghur people [source], Shallan is a half-Irish, half-Japanese mix [source] 3. The Unkalaki (People of the Horneater Peaks) 1) Common features: light tan skin (or just fair skin like the Vedens) (supposedly lighter than the Alethi), red hair, strong back molars to break shells and claws (result of Parshendi hybrids) [source] 2) Inspiration from Earth: Asian-Caucasian people, [source] Mongolian people, Polynesian people, Russian people [source] 4. The Herdazians (People of Herdaz) 1) Common features: deep tan skin (supposedly darker than the Alethi), dark crystalline fingernails (result of Parshendi hybrids) 2) Inspiration from Earth: Hispanic people [source], indigenous Bolivian [source] 5. The Thaylens (People of Thaylenah) 1) Common features: long white eyebrows 2) Inspiration from Earth: unknown 6. The Natan (People of the former Natanatan) 1) Common features: pale bluish skin, wide nose, wool-like white hair [WoK Ch.36] (result of Aimian hybrids) [source] 2) Inspiration from Earth: unknown 7.

The Shin (People of Shinovar) - The only race without epicanthic folds 1) Common features: short stature, pale skin, large round eyes, men tending to be bald, no epicanthic folds (but still hardly resemble the Caucasians on Earth) 2) Inspiration from Earth: unknown 11.
