Dysautonomic Queen

One week left until we can read a new Cosmere novel! Felt like sharing this Mistborn illustration here. One of my dream gigs was making an interior illustration for the Spanish illustrated edition of The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson, published by Nova (Penguin Random House) in 2021. This piece was commissioned by Dragonsteel, and it was simply amazing to work with them, and even get feedback from Sanderson himself! I still find it hard to believe it happened, sometimes...

And here are the preliminary sketches I did for the scene:

like, he says, "i'm… not certain what i think of this experience, mistress" and it might be because he actually can't imagine being touched without cruelty or need (like vin picking him up to move).

she posts, as if her pfp isnt just vin and tensoon

Vin *crying and covered in blood*: I'm sorry I killed your brother

Elend: I don't??? have a brother???

Vin *still crying* : not any more I killed him

Elend:???

Vin *bleeding out* *actively receiving medical care* *probably still crying*: wanna get married?

Elend:...

Dropping this super fun papercraft that was commissioned by Brandon Sanderson and the team over at Dragonsteel for use on their upcoming paperback Sanderson Starter Pack (to be soon available on their TikTok shop!)

If you dig down into the depths of my Instagram feed, you'll find that Mistborn was one of my very first papercraft inspirations, and it was lovely to have a chance to revisit it with this new rendition. But then to find out that they commissioned three different papercraft artists for this starter pack? 😱 How cool to be part of a little papercraft tribe for this project! 🙌 They're all so wonderful!

You do the Knight in Shining Armor thing and storm the castle to rescue her.

You find her. She's in a severe state of undress. Her butler is also there.

You try to get her to leave with you, she refuses and immediately starts killing her captors with a combination of magic and shocking brutality.

She tells you how happy she is to see you and kisses you. She is still severely underdressed and isn't listening to you telling her to get dressed.

She tells you to get somewhere safe because she needs to go kill God. She says her butler will keep you safe.

She ends up killing God

You are now the ruler of the realm because your girlfriend killed God.
