Oh yes, that.

Of course you have permission. If you wish to have a name, use Slichen, as that is my deviant art account name - and my deviant art page is perhaps the closest thing I had to a website.

That's absolutely wonderful! Congratulations!

Oh, thank you, thank you!

I'm always a little nervous when presenting fanart. I'm glad that you like it.

I'd be ecstatic if you posted them on your new site. And be assured there is more fanart a-coming!

Hehe, it mostly takes practice. I've had a tablet for over six years, and I still don't have it right!

For coloring, I mostly use this coloring tutorial, done by a good friend of mine. It's extremely helpful.

What tablet and program to you use, if I may ask?

Hello hello

I've been wanting to do some Mistborn fanart for a while, and finally today I was able to do a bit. This was initially just going to be a concept sketch, and then kind of exploded on to my computer and well...here we are! I colored it (quickly, mind you) and thought to put it up here. The style is a bit anime, and not so slightly chibi (for those of you who do not know, chibi is basically referring to the proportions I did; big head and all that).

I was a little dissatisfied with how her outfit turned out; I didn't feel like I quite captured Vin, and for that I'm really sorry. Oh well - there's always next time! If you have any suggestions or questions, please feel free to post input. I really appreciate feedback. If you wish, you can check out my DeviantArt account at this link!

Also, to Mr. Sanderson - this picture was part of a bigger project that I am trying to put together; if you don't really like the style let me know. This was just what I felt like drawing at the time.

Enjoy!



EDIT: Also, I am aware how child-like she looks. It's just part of my style that's hard to break out of 

Gaaah, I see a book signing near my location. I AM SO THERE! 

And I am curious, how many other writers visit this board and try and catch some of Brandon's author germs.    And how many of you are just fans?

I'm both a fan of Brandon and a writer myself. Unfortunately on the forums I tend to mostly be a lurker, though--but I barely have time to check the forums at all.   I've found a lot of the questions and discussions extremely helpful though, especially this one. I'm only just starting a book, but someday I'll have to write a query! I feel it looming over me....

It's rather funny, I feel like I've had some practice doing some of those sort of things, since in school I have to write summaries for books all the time in one single paragraph. How am I supposed to boil something so interesting into one paragraph?!

Speaking of summaries, the Mistborn 2 book summary was almost dangerously spoiling of the first book. I've already had a few instances of interested people walking up to me and trying to read the summary. These usually end with me diving between them and the book and screaming something like "NO! You'll ruin the first book for yourself!!" Not really a problem though, I've mostly found it humorous. Sorry, got a bit off topic there.

Hullo, I'm Soryn. Like a few others, I first came here because of Mr. Sanderson.

Let's see...I like to write, and some day I hope to be an author.  I also like to draw, and it is one of my ambitions to also illustrate my books. I absolutely love video games, and am pretty active on WoW at the moment.

Anyway, I've been a lurker for a while but hopefully now I will be a bit more active.
