A digital illustration of Gallant galloping through the Shadesmar skies with a herd of musicspren. Gallant is a powerfully built black Ryshadium. His saddle is embroidered with the Kholin glyphs, and a pair of swords attached to the saddle help convey that Ryshadium are larger than regular horses. Despite his massive bulk and military equipment, Gallant’s expression is almost smug. Surrounding him are several musicspren - horse-like spren, with ephemeral and ethereal bodies and elongated, slender limbs, sharper and smoother than what a real horse might have. Far below them is the Shadesmar ocean of beads, and in the far distance is this Realm’s cold sun.

#BrandonSanderson #Cytoverse #Skyward
An illustration of Skyward Flight and company hanging out and cleaning one of their spaceships, from chapter 22 of Defiant. The ship stretches diagonally across the top of the image; from left to right are Kimmalyn, FM, Hesho, Spensa, Nedd, Arturo, Alanik, and Sadie. Kimmalyn, standing, cleans the side of the ship with a rag. She is blushing with happiness. Beside her is a bucket with suds spilling out the top. Next to her, FM cradles a hyperslug in a sling, which she smiles down at. Hesho stands on his hoverdisc, facing the rest of the crew with his mask off and set to the side. He and Spensa both hold cleaning rags. Spensa sits cross-legged, grinning widely, her eyes closed. Nedd sits stretched out on the ground, head tipped back and hand to his chest in laughter. His other sleeve is empty. Arturo, standing, braces himself against the ship with one hand and peers under it with a look of shock. His other hand holds a datapad. Alanik crouches beside him, soaking a rag in another bucket of water. She looks over at the others fondly. Sadie hangs upside-down from a light-line on the right side of the ship. She is visible from the torso up (...or down, at the moment), with her blue hair in a ponytail dangling down, and is scrubbing the underside of the ship. She's smiling brightly. A few more slugs are scattered through the scene, on laps, in body slings, and investigating soap bubbles; one sits atop the ship. The humans and Alanik all wear blue jumpsuits, and Hesho wears a fancy blue outfit. The room is predominantly cast in blue light.

Finished version of the Shallan sketch that I had done a while back.

The sketch was originally fanart at the time, but a few months later I was asked to do a finished version of it for Brotherwise Games.

Next up are the Mistspren and Cultivationspren! All my experience with Changeling really helped here, and I hand-painted all the vine texture.

"Shadesmar", illustration for @brotherwisegames.bsky.social Cosmere RPG. This one has waited a long time to see the light of day. It was nerve-wracking to have to follow in the footsteps of my art hero, Michael Whelan. I'm quite happy with the obsidian cliffs in particular!

A digital illustration of Adolin battling the thunderclasts in Azimir. The image is composed dynamically, capturing Adolin, in his blue Shardplate cracked all over, mid-flight as he descends upon the thunderclast below, massive metal chain wrapped around his waist, its hooked end held in one hand. The thunderclast, a monster of jagged rocky spikes, basial face, and red light glowing from inside its skull, is looking up at Adolin's flying form. In the distance, many of the bronze-topped buildings of the city of Azimir have either been reduced to rubble or are actively burning, filling the air with dust, and ash, and smoke.
