A happy boy and his happy horse: Adolin Kholin on Gallant, both living their shared dream of flying. An absolute joy of a commission for Finnean.

From Wind and Truth, by Brandon Sanderson. Watercolour on Windsor&Newton cold-pressed paper, 11x14 inches. Prints coming soon!
A watercolour illustration from "Wind and Truth" by Brandon Sanderson. Adolin Kholin is riding his father's horse Gallant, drawn resembling a powerful black Frisian stallion. Gallant is running in the air, and both man and horse are grinning, having the time of their lives. Adolin is wearing goggles against the wind, his blue gold-embroidered uniform echoed in the blue bardings of Gallant.

AI: The New Aesthetics of Fascism
It's embarrassing, destructive, and looks like shit: AI-generated art is the perfect aesthetic form for the far right.

Interior illustrations for Bryan Vanderhoof's Rosharan cookbook! I had so much fun with these.
Adolin and Shallan from The Stormlight Archive. They are drawn in a sketchy pencil style. He has just coaxed her to try some men's food, and the spiciness is making her question several life choices. Yanagawn and Lift from The Stormlight Archive. They are drawn in a sketchy pencil style. Yanagawn is about to enjoy his meal, to see that Lift has beaten him to it - his plate is empty, and she is gnawing on a chicken drumstick. A servant is taking the cover off the empty platter. Behind Yanagawn's shoulder stands his vizier Noura; behind her, some shocked Azir citizens whose turn it is to witness the Prime dine. A picture story with Lift from The Stormlight Archive. The three images are drawn in a sketchy pencil style. In the first, Lift is gliding along the floor, looking behind her, a stack of pancakes in her arm. In the second, Wyndle is racing/growing/vining behind her, his vine-face one of appalled shock as he glances at unseen persecutors. Those are seen in the final image - heavily armed Azish guards racing after Lift and Wyndle. The Lopen from The Stormlight Archive. He is drawn in a sketchy pencil style and holding a rolled bread (chouta) in us one arm. He's in bridgeman attire, his left sleeve is rolled up on his missing arm.

A fun project with Bryan Vanderhoof (@bryanvhoof on Instagram), who's putting together a Rosharan cookbook to bring to Dragonsteel Nexus.
I had a lot of fun with Bridge Four (and a rare smiling Kaladin)!
Left to right: Hobber, Skar and Drehy, Rock, Renarin, Teft, Kaladin, Moash, and Lopen.

Yep. I slid under the closing cave entrance of the local post office yesterday, throwing the employee my very last packages to the US, and then rolled out, barely retrieving my hat.

Deutsche Post sent a mail on Friday that conveyed utter bewilderment while still trying to sound professional.

I want to get excited about CR 4 and stuff in the works, but I’m worrying about my business instead because that absolute idiot is throttling world economy with his idiot tariffs.

If it's international left-handers day, I’ll bring up Evi! She's probably the opposite of Maedhros - a leftie forced to forego her left-handedness. Boy, how I’d hate that.
Also, I’m left-handed too, and Maedhros was the first literary leftie I ever encountered, so that’s something!

My first NSFW Stormlight Archive art! I hear you can post spicy stuff on Bluesky? Still censoring the safehand for all you lewd Vorin peepers. *tsk*
Full sketch is up on my Patreon Discord! 😎
A sketch of Shallan and Adolin in The Shower Scene (TM) from the Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson. They're having sex in the shower, both are naked and seen from the waist up. Adolin has lifted Shallan up, his face is turned upwards, and she's stroking his face and shoulders as they kiss passionately. Her left hand is covered by a crudely drawn glove, because in Vorin religion, it's an absolute scandal for a woman to openly show your left hand, and Bluesky doesn't seem to have the appropriate censoring tag for that.

The Princeling and the Bridgeboy being insufferable to each other. 😂 I love these two so much.
From "Words of Radiance" by Brandon Sanderson. Painted in Procreate with my watercolour brushes.
#stormlightarchive
Kaladin and Adolin from Stormlight Archive riding side by side. Kaladin sits on a bay horse, a gentle training animal of maybe thirteen hands, Adolin riding his giant white Ryshadium horse Sureblood, towering over Kaladin. Adolin is clearly enjoying the situation, as Kaladin is clearly hating it.

Detail shots of three works in progress from the Stormlight Archive. Top left: Kaladin, hanging upside down, gasping as he opens his eyes after being strung up in a highstorm. Top right: Rlain and Renarin in lineart, kissing in front of a stained-glass background. Bottom: A sketch of Adolin taunting Kaladin during the latter's first riding lesson. Kaladin is riding a dishevelled-looking little horse, with Adolin towering over him, sitting on his white Ryshadium warhorse.

Long time no post! I've been busy with the lineart for this commission of the post-highstorm scene from the Way of Kings. I love how this is coming along.

Orym and Dorian from Critical Role. They are kissing, Orym grabbing Dorian's shirt to pull him down to his height. (Orym is an adult halfling). Adolin and Shallan from The Stormlight Archive. They're just about to kiss; Shallan's spren pattern is sitting in a wall above their heads, ready to interrupt their "mating" (he's been told he is their chaperone but only has vague notions of the concept). Vax and Keyleth from Critical Role, desperately kissing after decades apart. Both are crying. Syl and Kaladin from The Stormlight Archive. She is raising her hand to his face, both are looking at each other with solemn expressions.
