Elantris/The Emperor’s Soul crossover: Everybody’s performing ChayShan
Let’s show some love to those precious Selish magic systems! It’s my first time depicting ChayShan moves and it is loosely based on Tai Chi, according to what Brandon said in Elantris annotations:
The ChayShan is a martial art I devised to feel just a bit like Tai Chi—though ChayShan focuses on speeding up the motions and gaining power from them. I've always kind of thought that Tai Chi would look more interesting if it slowly sped up. [Source]
Characters above are (From left to right): Captain Zu, Shuden, Bloodsealer, Shai.
EDIT: Saw this awesome comment on 17th Shard:
EVERYONE WAS CHAYSHAN FIGHTIN'!!!!
THOSE MOVES WERE FAST AS LIGHTNIN'
THE DAHKOR THOUGHT IT FRIGHT'NING
SHUDEN FOUGHT WITH EXPERT TIMING!

EDIT: The coloring didn’t work so well. So I decided to give up on that...
