#BrandonSanderson #Cosmere #Mistborn #StormlightArchive
An illustration of about a dozen Rosharan spheres scattered across wooden table. Each sphere is made of glass, flat on one side, the gems inside a variety of different types and sizes. Each glows with an intensity proportional to the size of the gem. Most glow with Stormlight's white light, slightly tinted blue. One glows with the slight green instead. Two in the back glow with a powerful violet light, seeming to draw draw the light in, instead of emitting it; one also warps the air around it. A digital illustration of Wax, Wayne, and Marasi in the Ladrian manor library discussing their options inside a speed bubble as an explosion slowly approaches them. Wayne, in a constable uniform is sitting on the floor in the center of the image, head turned to face Wax, looking unconcerned. Wax is on the left, gesticulating animatedly, dressed in a checkered vest over a white shirt, sleeves rolled up, metalmind bracelets clearly visible. Marasi is on the other side, looking concerned and pointing at the approaching ball of fire consuming shelved books and equipment that line the walls of the study; she wears a long blue skirt and a white shirt, her hair tied practically in a bun. Both she and Wax are down on one knee, hunched over, in order to fit inside Wayne's speed bubble whose borders are barely visible but recognizable for their oil-on-water-like texture. A porcelain teacup in a saucer lies on the floor next to Wayne, tea spilling out of it. An illustration of New Seran and its surroundings, as seen from afar. The city is built against a mountain of red rock, on plateaus and outcroppings spread across many levels, with even more waterfalls and streams splitting the rock face before merging into the river below. Around the river is a lush grassy plain where the more industrial parts of the city are, including the train tracks. An illustration of the Pantheon archipelago as seen from above and afar. Several lush islands span the landscape, breaking the pure blue ocean water, the more distant ones obscured by clouds of thick, picturesque mist. An emerald lake is visible at the heard of the largest island. Many birds of various and vibrant colorations fly over and around the islands, at different elevations.

Happy belated birthday Mistborn! I love the book series so much and can‘t wait to see it all on the screen.
#cosmere #brandonsanderson #digitalart
Digital Illustration of Vin and Wax from Mistborn era 1 and era 2, respectively. Their mistcloaks/coats are intertwined in the middle of the artwork, Vin is looking out over Luthadel to the left, dagger in her hand, as Wax is looking out over Elendel to the right, holding his pistol Vindication up beside his head. Mists curl around them both, tying the two scenes and eras together.

A digital illustration of Rashek sitting next to a broken stained glass window depicting Alendi. Rashek looks young, probably no older than 30, with long dark hair, metal jewelry and piercing, dressed in a long and loose overcoat with V-patterns embroidered into it. He is sitting on the ground, at the foot of a large stained glass window depicting Alendi as a conqueror, now fallen to the floor, and shattered. Rashek seems lost in thought as he looks at the image of the man he killed. He casts a long, dark shadow that falls across Alendi's visage, shrouding it in darkness.

#spoilers #BrandonSanderson #Cosmere #IslesOfTheEmberdark
A digital illustration of Dusk, his Aviars, and Starling in the Cave of Death, from Isles of the Emberdark novel. The two people have stopped in the middle of what looks like a jungle path, illuminated by the harsh light of a robotic drone not visible in the illustration. Starling, seemingly cautious, has extended a finger in the direction of the raven-like Sak, who in turn is perched on Dusk's forearm; Sak looks upset with Starling. Rokke, more colorful than Sak, rests on Dusk's shoulder and observes the bonding moment between dragon-in-human-form and bird.

A digital illustration of the crew of the Dynamic from the Isles of the Emberdark novel. The crew is divided between different locations, and the artist has framed them inside the silhouette of a dragon in front of a starry cosmic background. From left to right: Starling and Nazh walk the streets of Silverlight. Chrysalis walks into the engine room of the Dynamic, where Aditil and ZeetZi are having a conversation. Ed and Leonore study the lifeforms on a tropical island, perhaps Patji.

Ranette and her wife Jaxy in her workshop by Cynthia Sheppard.

This piece can be found in the Mistborn setting Handbook!
A dark haired woman with olive toned tan skin in the foreground with a rifle over her shoulder, examining the stock and barrel. Her work table before her has tools and a coffee cup with saucer, and bullets. Behind her is a blonde woman in a blue dress watching her from an open doorway, across from her is a wall of rifles and an open flame.

Happy Pride, everyone, because nothing says Pride as well as a little "what if I stabbed you to death while you choked me to near-death?" Rashek and Alendi, y'all.

A digital illustration of the moment Rashek betrays Alendi at the Well of Ascension. The two are portrayed from the side, standing, bathed in the Well's glow, stonework visible in the darkness far from them. Alendi is a physically imposing man, powerfully built and clad in leather armor and winter clothes, sword in one hand, Rashek's throat in the other. Rashek, more lithe, wears similar winter clothing, but instead of armor he bears a Terrisman's furs. He is clearly on the back foot of this altercation, but has managed to plunge a dagger in Alendi's chest, red blood staining blade and leather. Alendi himself doesn't seem to have noticed the fatal injury just yet, as his face, mere inches away from Rashek's own, is twisted by anger, not fear or pain.

#spoilers #BrandonSanderson #Cosmere #Mistborn #TheBandsOfMourningSpoilers #TheBandsOfMourning
A digital illustration of Marasi holding - and using - the Bands of Mourning. Marasi stands with her arms raised far above her head, hands gripping a large speartip with a slight pattern in the metal. Marasi's eyes glow with power, lines of steelsight shoot out of her torso, and thick mists swirl around her, drawing ever closer. Marasi's outfit is simple and functional, but well put-together: long, loose, dark blue skirt, white blouse, red vest, and light blue tie. The background of the image is stylized, depicting concentric circles echoing out from a central one positioned just behind the speartip that is the Bands.

#spoilers #BrandonSanderson #Cosmere #TressOfTheEmeraldSea
A digital illustration of Ulaam, Hoid, and Tress, from Brandon Sanderson's Tress of the Emerald Sea. Ulaam dominates the image, front and center, looking somewhat vampiric in his sharp outfit and his pale skin, bloodshot eyes, and sharp teeth. He is smiling broadly, holding a scalpel in one hand, his other hand raised in front of him - sporting an extra finger, clearly freshly stitched there. Tress stands behind him, hands clasped before her, looking with a wide-eyed concerned expression. Hoid sits on his other side, wearing what looks like a little girl's dress and a party hat, hugging a jar of eyeballs, and smiling contently. The silhouette of a rat can be seen in the foreground.

A heavily blurred image captioned with ISLES OF THE EMBERDARK SPOILERS A heavily blurred image captioned with ISLES OF THE EMBERDARK SPOILERS A heavily blurred image captioned with ISLES OF THE EMBERDARK SPOILERS A digital illustration of Xisis and Starling, in their humans forms, in a richly decorated room in Silverlight. Xisis is dressed in a modern-looking black suit, and is playing the piano, no sheet music in sight. Light particles of a seemingly magical origin swirl around him. On the other side the piano, arm resting over it, is Starling, dressed in a simple orange robe, hair white hair falling free. She is holding wineglass, but doesn't seem to be paying much attention to it or Xisis - instead, she seems thoughtful. The dragonsteel bracelets keeping her imprisoned in this form are visible from under both her sleeves. Behind both figures, through a window on the far side of the room, are Silverlight's skyscraper-like buildings, outlined in silver.

#BrandonSanderson #Cosmere #Mistborn
A digital illustration of a younger Lord Ruler walking out of a burning building unscathed. He is walking towards the viewer, rings decorating his fingers, his long coat and formal-looking outfit partially ablaze, revealing unmarred skin underneath. His long dark hair is similarly untouched by the flames. His downcast eyes hide a dark look, but the array of weapons and tools surrounding him, and subtly attached to his chest with blue steel lines, reveal his destructive intent. A multi-story building, perhaps an inn, has gone up in flames behind him, and fire similarly trails his footsteps.
