Description I absolutely love Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn series. So when we were assigned to do a movie poster in my Illustration class, I decided to do his first book! Hope you like it.

*updated! I fixed several things, including Vin's face and cleaned it up a lot.

Kelsier is blonde but who cares. This is one of the best mistborn pics on DA.

Yeah, I know he's blond. I just always pictured him with black hair. Heh heh -_-; I'm glad you like the piece though!

Hey, it's okay. I thought it was kinda cliche that Kelsier had blonde hair anyways.
Plus, I often imagine Marsh with black hair even when the text kept reminding me he was blonde, too.

Hehe, Kelsier's blond, but... otherwise I really love this picture!! The shading is outstanding. And holy crap, all the swirls of the mist cloaks and mists.

Yeeeeaaaah, I always pictured Kelsier with black hair and then I drew the picture and then everyone was like "He's blond!" Whoops. I'll probably never fix it.

And yes. I love me some swirls! Glad you like it!

Vin looks a bit more plump than i imgined her to be in the first book (at least the first half of it). She doesn't look too malnurished, but she does look about as young as described in the book and about as temperametal.

You were totally right; the actual cover to this book is so laaaaaaaaaaaazy. I'm actually finishing the first book right now because of your cover illustration (mmm, the book is pretty OK), but if was you and your illustration that attracted me to the book in the first place In my opinion, this is awesome and one of your strongest pieces

I like this a lot; I'm working my way through Well of Ascension right now and had forgotten how much I loved the series until I finally got back to it. But even without reading the books this movie poster would make me interested to see it!

Who's the mistborn behind her? Is that Kel or Zane? Other than that it looks awesome!

This picture is for the first book, so it's Kelsier.

Okay, the dark hair just threw me off a bit I guess. Great picture though!

Beautiful work!

(Though Mistborn isn't his first book. That honor belongs to Elantris.)

Thanks! Haha! Oops, syntax. I was referring to "His first book" as being "His first book in that series". Anyways, glad you like it.

Good job with this, but I think I would shoot someone if they cast Dakota Fanning as Vin in the possibly upcoming movie.
