Life before death...

I recently reread the Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson, which is probably my favourite book series at the moment. Not surprisingly, it inspired me to draw some fanart. Here's Shallan. Or Veil. Or both. I'd love to see a cosplay of the character like this, haha! In case you don't know the books; Veil is a persona of Shallan, which she uses occasionally to do stuff Shallan, a noble lady, can't do. Let's just say that doesn't go so well for her mental health...

All those random lines weren't planned, but they just emerged to balance with Pattern (for the uninitiated: the black, eh, well, pattern in the top right corner - yes, that thing has a personality). It's everywhere now. Patterns, patterns, patterns! Hmmmmmm… 

I've already drawn Kaladin: www.deviantart.com/queenofeagl…
And I would love to add Dalinar to the list too. He's one of my favourite characters.

This is brilliant. That's Oathbringer's Shallan to a T. I had to link it here:  rhetoricandlogic.tumblr.com/po…

I love the light and dark concept of this piece! I know the line pattern weren't planned but they add a lot to the painting! I'm glad you included them!

Intricate and interesting, nicely done.
I once had an idea to write a story about a similar character, I remember calling her Victoria and her other persona Vicky (not very original I know...). I never got around to doing that.

thank you! and ah, sorry to hear you never worked on that idea, it's such an interesting concept. And it makes far more sense to me to have a character with two similar names.

thanks! it was such a pain, I had to cheat by copy-pasting bits of it to keep it symmetrical :')

Isn't digital art all about clever cheating?

queenofeagles In reply to K-naille [2020-02-26 09:56:56 +0000 UTC]

nah, I just cheat in general. I would have used a pair of compasses and a ruler if this had been a traditional piece

If it's a reference to the book, I didn't read it so I don't get it

Limnoria In reply to K-naille [2020-02-26 18:44:15 +0000 UTC]

Yeah!   The black patterns on the right side of the picture are due to a spren named Pattern.

Thanks! There are actually drawings in the stormlight books, including one of this outfit as a rough sketch. I feared it looked too much like a cowboy hat though
