Painting characters EXACTLY as described - and Showing the Author?! (Brandon Sanderson Edition!)

Other YouTubers, “please comment below, it helps the algorithm know to promote the video.” Jazza, “Elijah Wood played Bilbo.”

Getting the author to reply on your vision of his work . That is such an honor. Very impressive. 😊

“Odium gives the best hugs.” - Alethi female, 20 minutes before death.

Kelsier got his scars from repeatedly reaching into small holes lined with sharp crystals. The scars should probably run the length of his arms, not crosswise.

Watching the Shallan drawing, yelling at the screen "safe hand"! "Safe hand"!

I like that he gave you feedback and then you went ahead and fixed your paintings. This is exactly the kind of video your fans were asking for when you did your "re-inventing the channel" stream a few weeks back.

TenSoon giving the best hugs straight up killed me...of course he gives the best hugs, he literally absorbs people's flesh and steals their bones

I gasped when I saw Shallan's left hand uncovered.

Can't believe you asked this man to make a thumbnail face.

Jazza has finally moved to NSFV artwork with that Uncovered Safehand on Shallan.

While I appreciate the slight tweaks to Kelsier's Arm scars, I've always pictured them to be lengthwise along his arms, as the pits of Hathsin require the prisoners to shove their arms into holes lined with sharp rocks that cut deep into the arms as they reach in to harvest the Atium.

I was so happy you did Steelheart. People usually focus on Mistborn or Stormlight, but Steelheart and the Reckoners is such a great series too.

It's funny how cheerful Brandon Sanderson is. Most of his books sound serious and a bit dystopian, but he himself is such a cheerful and kind man.

How DARE Sanderson do Rock like that?! Rock CLEARLY gives the best hugs!

The reason why people might portray Shallan as older than 18 is because a year on Roshar is 500 days long, so an 18 year old on Roshar would be about 23ish to us.

For an author to react to a character drawing and say that it's pretty spot on must be such an accomplished feeling

Kelsier’s scars still need work. They need to be a lot more vertical than horizontal as they come from reaching in past sharp edges to grab an object then withdrawing past those same sharp edges again. The only way they would be horizontal is if he were rotating his arm while exposed to sharp edges, though this may be possible at times the vast majority of the scars should be down the length of the forearm. Think of it as plunging your arm down a monsters throat to get to a treasure, you have to reach past those razor sharp teeth with very little clearance available and you’ll catch on them going both in and out.

I appreciate that Brandon Sanderson was a) so chill throughout and b) was gracious but direct in offering feedback. I would love to learn that skill!

The fact he said that TenSoon gives the best hugs makes me happy. Considering he is a dog, 100% agreed

I've been drawing Cosmere fanart for a good few years now. You even featured one of my pieces in the Shallan section. Getting to have that back and fourth with Brandon would be a dream come true. Fantastic work and great depictions!
