I am pretty happy with the second image. Only thing I am concerned about is the size of the actual plateaus - after all, small armies are supposed to be able to have an active battle going on most of them. I don't know how to fix it though; if you up the scale and make the plateaus bigger, the chasms would become too small...

Well, right, I can see why you wouldn't want to call him for every little - or big - thing. But there are some things that are not in the books, and I am certain Brandon is excited about having accurate and cool art re: his books almost as much as the fans.

Here is some Zane:

The Watcher stood quietly. He didn't look much like a messenger or courier. He wore all black, even a pair of black gloves. He wore trousers and a silken shirt, with no cloak or cape. She remembered that face. It was him.

Vin spun. A man landed quietly behind her. He looked . . . familiar, for some reason. He had a lean face—topped with dark hair—and his head was cocked slightly in confusion. She could see the question in his eyes. Why had she fallen down?

The Watcher stood quietly, then shook his head, as if . . . disappointed. Then, he pulled something from his sash.

Through the swirling mists, in the reflected light of the tent, she could see something on Zane's arm.

The skin was covered with thin white streaks. Scars.

Zane immediately lowered his arm, hiding the scarred flesh with his sleeve.

I know Brandon had something about the boxings in one of his annotations, but I can't remember which one or what it said. I know it's there though.

Two Stormlights every three years, yes. Basically Stormlight, Stormlight, side project, rinse & repeat. A book every year. Of course, we have a little over another year to see the end of the Wheel of Time, which is the current project at hand.

Miyabi, the draft chapters of The Liar of Partinel kind of give an explanation why this is possible - assuming that what is written there is part of the truth about the history of the Cosmere. Of course, his changes in appearance could be explained simply be saying that he is hundreds, if not thousands of years old and has had plenty of time to grow bear, cut hair, and so on.

I don't know, I've voted several times for Vin vs. Quick Ben. I just give it a few hours between votes.

SirZelig, that informant was shaped after Tolkien, not Jordan Old, fatherly, pipe, stories, etc. That's also book #3. Hoid appears in book #1, when Kelsier plays an informant himself. First he visits a real informant (Hoid), pretending to be a noble; then he disguises himself as an informant and talks to Straff Venture.
