Don't mind me I'm just going to glue googly eyes onto the face of a Steel Inquisitor

kind of weird how parts of your soul are left in various locations without any warning… like yes i’m always at the top of that hill, sitting at the bus stop, in the cool light of the Japanese restaurant, standing at the pier etc etc

Made a stuffed Axehound toy for my friend’s birthday!

This bad boy is 50 inches from nose to tail and I weighted the tail and each leg for ultimate floppiness

What nobler creature could there be than the shrog (shrimp dog)

Based my pattern off the popular fanart by Marianne Eie:

Wishing all of you a very Happy start to 2025.

And a shameless second angle because you got to see that gold ✨shimmer ✨

Me when learning about the game of Towers, a strategy board game used to teach warfare: "Oh, it's the Roshar equivalent of chess! How nice."

Me when I learn how it's played: "Deployment. Reserves. Terrain. Cards. Miniatures. This isn't chess. They're playing fucking Warhammer."

"Why? Why do you care?"

"Because I do," she said, cocking her head. "I watched you, you know. Back in that army. You'd always find the young, untrained men and protect them, even though it put you into danger. I can remember. Just barely, but I do." Brandon Sanderson, The Way of Kings

Holy moly, thank you for the incredible welcome to this fandom! This has literally never happened to me, anytime, anywhere, and I'm completely floored.

Even though I'm barely a third into the first book, this is what makes this book (and this character) so special. Even though the world is a rotten place, you can always try to lift up yourself, and lift up the people around you. ... and no matter how bad your situation is, Kaladin's was worse.

And boy, can Sanderson write dialogue.

I've now downloaded the Kindle version of the book too, so I can bloody read up the scenes I want to draw, and don't miss half of the details. That Syl should have just one leaf, that the leaves were described differently, that there should be rain and storm. And I can look up quotes. I miss so much when I don't see words. O_o Hope the next ones will get easier.

Crosspost from the Cosmere subreddit, but I want to hear what the Tumblr users say as well. (particularly @cosmerelists if you have time)

Heres an old drawing I did but never shared! I'm hoping to draw more Kal (and others) in preparation for WaT this December!

The Way of Kings reread is well and truly underway

Sazed: hello, I am secretly part of a tradition that our theocratic despot has gone to great lengths over the past thousand years to completely annihilate. I'd like to talk to you about our lord and savior, Literally Anyone Else

look i know the szeth prologue carries a lot of introductory information as to the magic system and how it can be used (and if there is one thing the cosmere in general excels at it is using the rules of a hard magic system in interesting ways for fight scenes) but it is so crazy that his internal monologue is so full of grief for what he is about to do and his first spoken line is "what am i? i'm sorry" and then he starts killing people in such an overcomplicated rube goldbergian way. why'd he lash a guy to the ceiling above an upright spear and just wait (fearspren spawning up around them) until the lashing broke and he impaled himself. you didnt have to do that man no one was around to see it
