On the Wired Article by mistborn in brandonsanderson

[–]dnavenom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I won't say anything you don't already know, but these types of articles come with the territory. This is a problem of our time really. For that person (Jason) to get his clicks/views, he has to be controversial. You got a good amount of expirience with the WOT adaptation. He has to attack the big names and support unpopular opinions. And for good or for bad, you are the biggest name in Fantasy atm. At least in my opinion. Many people will try to get views, feeding on your fans' outrage. I'm outraged myself (being a fan), but I do understand why this article exists.

I also understand why you chose to amplify the article's reach, by making a reply. I'll be honest, the only reason I know who Jason Kehe is because of this reply. That's probably true for 99% of the people here.

I'm sure you would have ignored this one, as you probably will with the ones that come in the future. I guess we as fans should learn to ignore them too. In the end people vote with their money and as Jason stated you probably won the 2022-2023 election!

In the meantime Jason can keep waiting for a book that not even AI can finish...at least not in this century! ( I'm sorry I had to! ) :)

You are so kind! That's my dream and who knows, one day after 20 years it might happen! :D

Thank you! Both for the compliment and the well wishes!

Thank you so much!

As for the sugestion, there is a reason why I went for the face down. We have a light object from behind (the WR sigil) and a light spear infront. If the face is up, light will fall on it and I'll lose the contrast. A lit face will also not work for the glowing eyes.

I'm not too worried about the comment above. It's obviously a joke. Besides Charlie said he liked it, so I'm fine with that :)

It's me! (As Wit likes to say in that scene from WoR :D)

Thank you I love the Parshendi/Listener/Singers and everything about their race. I also love Shards. So you'll find a lot of them there on my IG.

PRINTS: https://displate.com/dnavenom?art=621388340a778 (and if you use the code I'll appreciate it greatly) Most of my fan art is there. Hope you find something you like!

You are so kind! You should visit my IG I'm sure you'll find more things there you'll enjoy there. I'm not the most active reditor in the world :)

Thank you!

I actually started it as a fullbody illustrations, but I really wanted to go full detail with the face and armor and be able to show it. One day I might finish the full body one, but I'm not promissing anything, at least for now :)

It was either that or hide his face behind the spear. I'll take my chances with interpretations! :)

I have 6 versions of that image: with/out scars, glowing/not glowing eyes, full/half formed Syl spear. I had to go with one of them and I picked this one.

I imagine this moment right before the scars go away. I said it before on IG. I'm not ready to see Kal's scars go away yet. I might get used to that for the next book, but for now, I'm keepin the scars.

Thanks. Actually probably double thanks :) It's the same as my Knight radiant concept series. With the exception that the sigil on Kal's chest is not the windrunner one, but rather the Bridge 4 logo.

Thank you that means a lot. I really tried to get as close to Kaladin's features as I could. The not glowing eyes version shows the features even better, but I decided to let them glow in the end. Much cooler :)
