Description Seriously, it's s one of the best moments in the entire Words of Radiance (a book written by Brandon Sanderson). I loved these chapters, Kaladin and Shallan have always seemed a good match to me (since their first meeting, it was PERFECT ) and down there in the chasms they could finally realize they have so much in common. Aww, and so many emotions involved, just as I said - I LOVED it

The pic above got stuck in my head few weeks ago and I just needed to paint it. To be honest, I'd never done anyting so complex before, so it took a while, but I had so much fun with it! And it even looks similar to the one I've had in my head, so I'm kinda satisfied with it, at least for today

So again - these are Kaladin and Shallan, characters from The Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson.

If you don't know this series - and you like fantasy - go and get yourself a copy of The Way of Kings (first volume of the series). I'm pretty serious about it, these books are stunning!

Definitely one of my favorite scenes, if not the favorite!  Love how you captured it!  Kaladin's face and hair especially feel spot on to how I picture him.

It's awesome how many of us love this part of WoR. I mean, I was super mad at Kaladin because of what he had done, but I like these two working together. Despite how much they had fought they are good compliments to each other. Also the art is fantastic!

I hope you don’t mind, but I would like to ask you a question. I am TheBlueShifting, and on my YouTube channel I am doing a series called “Leters From the Cosmere.” They are a series that Brandon Sanderson helped me start, told from the perspective of a Worldhopper named Elsric who explores the Cosmere and reports on his findings. The series is meant to be a place where new fans of Brandon’s work can find information about the inner connectedness of his books, while also providing a fun narrative. This series is great because I have been able to work with artists like yourself. I would love to feature your Cosmere art in my series! I promise to only use your art if you approve, and I make sure to do my best to direct my viewers back to your websites to see more of what you can do.

 

I am so grateful for artists like yourself who help me see the Cosmere in ways I never could. I hope this is a project that you feel you can support. If you want to see what this project is like, here is a link: youtu.be/9T5Aw5rJ8nQ

 

I look forward to hearing from you!

Exactly, I loved every moment of Kal and Shallan interacting with each other from their very first meeting
There's  some sort of weid chemistry between them, I just can't read their dialogues without having a smile on my face.

As for the second part, I've just watched your vids and I really enjoyed them.
I can only imagine it must have taken a while to gather all of these facts, artworks and then make a narrative for it,
so according to your question - yes, feel free to use my work in your series as I'd love to be part of it, too

Btw, I think it's a great idea, to collect and put all of the facts about the Cosmere in one place.
Not only the beginners would find it useful, many older readers might want to refresh their knowledge there.
This universe is already a huge thing and I guess we can only get more and more facts with any new book.
And of course it'll be hard to keep up with all of them, as Brandon is likely to put some random Cosmere-related thought in the middle of an epic battle

Keep up the good work!

I loved this part too, although I must say I really like Shallan and Adolin as a couple, but I have a bad feeling about how things are going to go for Adolin. Much as I wanted to see Sadeus get what he deserved, I feel like Adolin did the wrong thing, and it's going to have dire consequences for him.

Exactly, I have the same feelings about Adolin. It seems like he's about to turn to "the dark side" or something...  
I just can't wait for the third book, I'm sooo curious about this!

I saw Pattern and then went, "Hey, where's Syl?"  And then I died on the inside a little bit.  Great picture!  (And I second your endorsement of the series!)

Thx for your comment! :]
Huh, I reacted pretty much the same way as I wanted to add her at first (just automatically - if there's Kaladin, there should be Syl nearby, it's obvious!). Ugh...
