Boots! In 2022 Brandon Sanderson's art director Isaac Stewart asked me if I could redo an illustration of the scene I made two years prior for the leather bound edition of the Words of Radiance

So I tried for a new framing that would keep or even up the antics of everyone‘s expression, but would feel a bit more cinematic. The horse, of course, was the most difficult one to get to feel right and a lot of it gets swallows by the gutter in print. 😅 And I tried so hard to make it offended by Shallan‘s (loudly uttered) demands. Kaladin’s expressions also took a lot of altering until it sat right. I am very happy with this Tyn. 😁

The crowdfunding campaign for the Edition starts on the 5th of March on Backerkit. It’ll be very pretty with loads of additional art! (There’s also a probability of more art by me in there… 😉)

The ID for the illustration in the book is by the great @priscellie The IDs for the rest is by me

Laborers in the Vineyard

1 For the kingdom of heaven is like unto an householder which went out early in the morning to hire laborers into his vineyard. 2 And he agreed with the laborers for a penny a day, and sent them in to his vineyard. 3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw other standing idle in the market place, 4 and said unto them: go ye also into my vineyard, and whatsoever is right, I will give you: and they went their way. 5 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise. 6 And he went out about the eleventh hour and found other standing idle, and said unto them: Why stand ye here all the day idle? 7 They said unto him: because no man hath hired us. He said to them: go ye also into my vineyard, and whatsoever shall be right, that shall ye receive. 8 When even was come, the lord of the vineyard, said unto his steward: call the laborers, and give them their hire, beginning at the last, till thou come to the first. 9 And they which were hired about the eleventh hour, came and received every man a penny. 10 Then came the first, supposing that they should receive more, and they like wise received every man a penny. 11 And when they had received it, they grudged against the good man of the house, saying: 12 These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us which have borne the burden and heat of the day. 13 He answered to one of them, saying: friend I do thee no wrong: didst thou not agree with me for a penny? 14 Take that which is thy duty, and go thy way. I will give unto this last, as much as to thee. 15 Is it not lawful for me to do as me listeth, with mine own? Is thine eye evil because I am good? 16 So the last shall be first, and the first shall be last. For many are called, and few be chosen.

Jesus Foretells His Death a Third Time

17 And Iesus ascended to Ierusalem, and took the xij. disciples apart in the way, and said to them: 18 Lo we go up to Ierusalem, and the son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death, 19 and shall deliver him to the gentiles, to be mocked, to be scourged, and to be crucified: and the third day he shall rise again.

A Mother's Request

20 Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him. 21 He said unto her: what wilt thou have? She said unto him: Grant that these my two sons may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand in thy kingdom. 22 Iesus answered, and said: Ye wot not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of? And to be baptised with the baptism, that I shall be baptised with? They answered to him: That we are. 23 He said unto them: Ye shall drink of my cup, and shall be baptised with the baptism that I shall be baptised with all. But to sit on my right hand, and on my left hand, is not mine to give you: but to them for whom it is prepared of my father.

24 And when the ten heard this, they disdained at the two brethren. 25 But Iesus called them unto him, and said: Ye know, that the lords of the gentiles have domination over them. And they that are great, exercise power over them. 26 It shall not be so among you: But whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister, 27 and whosoever will be chief, let him be your servant. 28 Even as the son of man came, not to be ministered unto, but to minister: and to give his life for the redemption of many.

Jesus Heals Two Blind Men

29 And as they departed from Hiericho, much people followed him. 30 And behold, ij. blind men sitting by the wayside, when they heard, that Iesus passed by, cried saying: Master the son of David have mercy on us. 31 And the people rebufed them, because they should hold their peace: But they cried the more, saying: have mercy on us master which art the son of David. 32 Then Iesus stood still, and called them, and said: what will ye that I should do to you? 33 They said unto him: Master, that our eyes may be opened. 34 Iesus pitied them, and touched their eyes. And immediately their eyes received sight: And they followed him. — Matthew 20 | Tyndale New Testament (TYN) Holy Bible, Tyndale New Testament (written in olde English), copyright © 1996, 2004, 2015 by Tyndale House Foundation.

Syl: WOO-HOO!!!

Pattern: Mmmm…twice as many spren chaperones to prevent mating now…

Adolin: …

Adolin: I mean, it only makes sense.

Adolin: He can fly.

Radiant: I cannot fault the choice of a Windrunner as a partner. But isn’t he a bit, you know…raggedy?

Veil: So, uh, is the ‘only date one personality at a time’ a hard rule or….?

Radiant: Veil!!

Tyn: Weird. This is the third time that ‘Horneater Princess’ con has turned out that way.

Rock: Horneaters are irresistible.

Tyn: ...Gotta remember that.

Lirin: Excellent. An artist like Shallan may help turn my son away from the path of violence and death.

Hesina: [whispering]

Lirin: She’s killed HOW MANY PEOPLE?!

Teft: You know, I wondered why it took Kaladin so long to get back from falling into the chasms…with Shallan…

Balat: Well done, Small One. He seems like a...good man.

Jushu: Kinda odd, though. He keeps trying to introduce us three to something called “therapy.”

Lopen: Lemme know if you need to impress her, gon! My cousins can hook you up with the BEST gifts for ANY occasion!

Moash: Somehow…I am even less unchained…

Jasnah: Well, it was only a casual with Adolin, but I still can’t help but feel this is some sort of rebellion. Against me.

Navani: Not everything Shallan does is about you, Jasnah.

Jasnah: I know, I know.

Navani: …just the bisexuality.

Jasnah: The what now?

Hoid: Really?? But that would mean that an arranged marriage….failed? In a Sanderson book? Impossible!

Sigzil: …Um, Hoid, what are you talking about?

Hoid: Don’t worry about it! <3

i have started to play arena thanks to @jenarion , so…. eternal champion! her name’s Tyn!

Anyway, I can feel my spirit being worn down by office lighting, small talk, k cups, how absolutely shitty the R train is, and people having speakerphone conversations on the bus and train at 8 a.m. All of it. So I wanted to return to a practice of gratitude to remind me to maybe stave off a little despair. I was really enjoying my tarot pulls when my life had a lot more uncertainty (does he like me? turns out, yes!! Will I ever get a job? Yeah, but now it's my whole life and I am always tired) Anyway in an act of anger at me for being gone from my home for most of the day now, Leelou (one of my cats) threw up on my tarot deck! A card or two is worse for the wear and I haven't decided if I am going to replace it or try to keep working with it just yet.

anyway!

I found a good smash burger in the neighborhood!! Petey's. It's perfect. The relief I feel at having discovered this is immense.

also food (I'm a Taurus?!) but I went to King of Falafel after hopping off the 30th ave stop. Sam had pointed it out to me when we walked to the train and it had a 15-minute wait so we walked a little further and he pointed out some things I hadn't seen since I live off a different stop. The falafel was probably the best I've ever had and it was beautiful to stand in a Palestinian restaurant so proud of its heritage. There was a wait for pita so I waited and was rewarded with a bonus piece, which was so warm and fluffy and heavenly to tear into on my walk back home. I will definitely be going back.

Access Oasis Garden, which my friend Kate founded. Right now we're focused on showing the Parks department and community that we're committed as a group so on Saturday I got to be a part of some bulb planting. To put something in the ground as a gift for future enjoyment is so rewarding, and signifies a deep hope, I feel. I am so astounded by how quickly things have moved and I can't wait to see it grow further. I also got to make some new friends, who ended up coming to the soup event at the beer hall after the planting was done. It was a really beautiful day of community!

Good hugs from friends! getting to share in the joy of a friend's good news.

Sam, who is so understanding and gentle and thoughtful. I'm still like, wait what, is this real? It turns out I am all about clear communication and intent! It's great!

Becoming emboldened re: work snacks, speaking of it is almost time for me to sneak some hummus at my desk. Sometimes on my lunch, I browse the dollar store candy section just to amuse myself, which is how I ended up with a desk drawer full of tootsie rolls.

Radio.Garden. I do sometimes browse the map endlessly, and I love to visit the station websites! I have found a few stations that originated as in-hospital or nursing home stations but graduated to internet broadcasts. Many stations I stumble upon are community-founded, which I love to see because I find the idea of radio of course extremely romantic, but also hopeful. It is also a perfect tool if you're not sure what you want to listen to - which happens to me a lot as someone who experiences intense decision paralysis. There's a station on the west coast of France that plays classical before lunch and jazz after. I began my work morning with AshiyaRadio, a Japanese jazz station.

for some reason, my rosacea goes nuts at work (I turn pink when dehydrated) but I bought this mini Tower 28 rescue spray and it seems to help a little, plus I like how refreshing it feels. Let me just anoint my visage real quick in this office hell space, etc

Tears of the Kingdom - which is soooo immense it's overwhelming but I have been enjoying dropping in and trying to further along my journey with various side quests. It's a perfect game to just meander around in, every last detail is stunning. I should remind myself I can take my switch on my work commute!!

Seemingly breezing through a lot of big changes with minimal anxiety?? I have been complaining a lot about how exhausted I've been but it's my fourth week and I had to learn/memorize A LOT the first two, so now it's slightly more routine and less overwhelming. I had one crying meltdown during the height of my period and missed a group of friends out, but I am pretty sure I needed that cry and it was unavoidable.

I know what's for dinner (the relief!): the half package of pumpkin ravioli I splurged on from the store and half a head of broccoli. I finish both in sage brown butter, toasted breadcrumbs, parmesan, and lemon. Still have to figure out a work lunch, though ):
