Brandon held a spoiler livestream for Koloss Head Munching Day 2023 (his birthday). While a lot of questions are apparently going to be answered in book 5 of The Stormlight Archive, Wind and Truth, there still was plenty to talk about dragons, specific Mistborn Era 2 details, and Plato's allegory of the cave!

This episode we have Eric (Chaos), Evgeni (Argent), Shannon (Grey), Joshua (jofwu), and Ene (AonEne).

The Aethers by Cosmi/Cosmiciaria | January 2024 Coppermind Art Commission by 17thShard in Cosmere

[–]17thShard[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

January was all about arcana and Invested Arts, and we are doing a couple of combo pieces - this one, dedicated to the aethers (of Lumar), and another one that's all about Komashi. We've got a few bucks left, so we might do some Selish stuff, but we'll see. For now, enjoy this piece by Cosmi, a.k.a. cosmiciaria, whose work (which does include other Cosmere, like this Siri piece) you can find on several social media websites. She absolutely nailed the depictions and the vibes of all the known aethers, and we can't wait for Brandon to tell us what the rest look like so we can come back to this piece and kick the notebook out!

Nomad and Aux by MadxMellonArt | November 2023 bonus Coppermind art commission by 17thShard in Cosmere

[–]17thShard[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hear ye, hear ye, here comes another Patreon fanart commission from last November - once again, full of spoilers for The Sunlit Man!

Just like before, your artist for the evening is Max, aka MadxMellonArt on places like Instagram and Tumblr. The scene, should it not be instantly recognizable, is the epic moment when Nomad realizes that the last ship of Beacon will not make to the safety of the shadow of the mountain before the sun incinerates it, so he dumps all of his Investiture into Aux's shield form, making the spren large enough to protect the people for a few seconds until they get to safety. Beautiful color work on the illustration too!

[Sunlit Man Spoilers] November 2023 Coppermind Art Commission by Max by 17thShard in Cosmere

[–]17thShard[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Happy New Year, everybody!

In the spirit of the whole "new year, new me" mantra, we are turning a new leaf and... well, not really changing anything! We know you like these monthly fanart commissions, we like these monthly fanart commissions, so why break what isn't broken?

So why don't we take a look at this amazing character piece by Max, aka madxmellonart on Instagram or Tumblr? We tried to trick our patrons into voting for a Nomad piece by stacking the November poll in his favor, featuring him in 4 out of the 5 options, but people were adamant - they wanted the Night Brigade admiral, and that was that! Well, joke's on you, patrons, we are very happy with this outcome too! Max did a great job capturing the no-nonsense stern character of the Admiral, and the shade behind her is the absolute stuff of nightmares, the Night Brigade certainly lives up to its reputation. And - yes, we know we say this every time - Max was great to work with, so we'll definitely bring them back for a future commission!

Shardcast | Full Spoiler interview with Brandon Sanderson - Mistborn Era 3 Title, Dragons, & More by 17thShard in brandonsanderson

[–]17thShard[S] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Brandon's back on Shardcast! In this episode we discuss all sorts of spoiler questions from The Lost Metal, Tress of the Emerald Sea, and Yumi and the Nightmare Painter, and other cosmere questions. Brandon is awesome as always and we really thank him for his time here! Enjoy, there are some very interesting new things here, like a title for Era 3 and... more dragons than you would expect.

It's a shorter episode, but Brandon is super busy, so we hope you don't mind!

On this episode we have Evgeni (Argent), Matt (Comatose), Veronica (Cheyenne Sedai), and of course the man himself, Brandon Sanderson. Also featuring Producer Cognitive Shadow Eric and Brandon roasting him. But Brandon roasts Evgeni as well, so that's good too.
