Description
FULLVIEW PLEASE
“The Way of Kings” by Brandon Sanderson is absolutely the best book I’ve ever read, and I’m so happy I finally completed this ****** drawing (after goddamn five months). But I just LOVE this book. Can’t wait for the next volume
I tried not to draw a specific scene in the book, I just wanted to draw Kaladin how I imagine him –without Shardplate or Shardblade, but with a spear and Sylphrena on his side, the slave brands on his forehead and with curling black hair. His armor and spear I have drawn without a purpose, but I wanted the red cord on his shoulder as a memory of his time as squadleader – the other ones on his spear I draw for fun
Also I draw a coming highstorm in the background and the shattered plains – and on the ground some spheres x]“Kaladin spun through the last motions of the kata, chasm forgotten, bridgemen forgotten, fatigue forgotten. For a moment, it was just him. Him and the wind. He fought with her, and she laughed.” –from the first book :]
Done on Photoshop CS5. Please don’t copy it without my permission
Enjoy!
If you want, look at the other fanart I did from Kaladin

I love both this drawing as well as you're other one of Kaladin. The colours that you have chosen for both pieces are amazingly dynamic. The red ribbon is so attention grabbing.
I do not think he would wear that nice of armour, as it is more of a lighteyes thing, and the brands are not what I imagined, but both of those points are incredibly nit-picky. The spear is a little long, at least to me, but in both drawings it definitely makes a point, which is really cool.
All in all, I think it's really quite epic. I love the way you portray Syl in both pictures. The white against the dark colours brings her out in an awesome way. :{D

This seriously looks like it could be a new cover for Way of Kings! Seriously this is fantastic! I love everything about it.
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!

That is the coolest drawing I have seen in a long time. I will have to show this to a few of my friends, they love drawing, and I am pretty sure that they will like this a lot.

This is so dope man, best book ever! Best character ever, I'm glad to finally see some things up with him in them. You're one hell of an artist my friend. I'm really particular to your newer picture of him but this one is amazing as well.

I had never pictured him with proper armor. It's a lighteyes thing and therefore he wouldn't want to be like them.

Wonderful! I think Mr. Sanderson should speak to TOR on your behalf and have you do the cover art for the next book in the series.
