February 2026 (bonus) art commission 🎨 Artist: linktr.ee/zurr.rra 📖 Book: Mistborn: The Final Empire ~ #BrandonSanderson #Cosmere #Mistborn

A digital illustration of Rashek sitting next to a broken stained glass window depicting Alendi. Rashek looks young, probably no older than 30, with long dark hair, metal jewelry and piercing, dressed in a long and loose overcoat with V-patterns embroidered into it. He is sitting on the ground, at the foot of a large stained glass window depicting Alendi as a conqueror, now fallen to the floor, and shattered. Rashek seems lost in thought as he looks at the image of the man he killed. He casts a long, dark shadow that falls across Alendi's visage, shrouding it in darkness.

April 2026 art commission 🎨 Artist: @nisnow.art 📖 Book: Isles of the Emberdark ~ #spoilers #BrandonSanderson #Cosmere #IslesOfTheEmberdark

A digital illustration of Dusk, his Aviars, and Starling in the Cave of Death, from Isles of the Emberdark novel. The two people have stopped in the middle of what looks like a jungle path, illuminated by the harsh light of a robotic drone not visible in the illustration. Starling, seemingly cautious, has extended a finger in the direction of the raven-like Sak, who in turn is perched on Dusk's forearm; Sak looks upset with Starling. Rokke, more colorful than Sak, rests on Dusk's shoulder and observes the bonding moment between dragon-in-human-form and bird.

A digital illustration of the crew of the Dynamic from the Isles of the Emberdark novel. The crew is divided between different locations, and the artist has framed them inside the silhouette of a dragon in front of a starry cosmic background. From left to right: Starling and Nazh walk the streets of Silverlight. Chrysalis walks into the engine room of the Dynamic, where Aditil and ZeetZi are having a conversation. Ed and Leonore study the lifeforms on a tropical island, perhaps Patji.

February 2026 art commission 🎨 Artist: linktr.ee/zurr.rra 📖 Book: Mistborn: The Final Empire ~ #spoilers #BrandonSanderson #Cosmere #Mistborn

A digital illustration of the moment Rashek betrays Alendi at the Well of Ascension. The two are portrayed from the side, standing, bathed in the Well's glow, stonework visible in the darkness far from them. Alendi is a physically imposing man, powerfully built and clad in leather armor and winter clothes, sword in one hand, Rashek's throat in the other. Rashek, more lithe, wears similar winter clothing, but instead of armor he bears a Terrisman's furs. He is clearly on the back foot of this altercation, but has managed to plunge a dagger in Alendi's chest, red blood staining blade and leather. Alendi himself doesn't seem to have noticed the fatal injury just yet, as his face, mere inches away from Rashek's own, is twisted by anger, not fear or pain.

January 2026 art commission 🎨 Artist: @nisnow.art 📖 Book: The Bands of Mourning ~ #spoilers #BrandonSanderson #Cosmere #Mistborn #TheBandsOfMourningSpoilers #TheBandsOfMourning

A digital illustration of Marasi holding - and using - the Bands of Mourning. Marasi stands with her arms raised far above her head, hands gripping a large speartip with a slight pattern in the metal. Marasi's eyes glow with power, lines of steelsight shoot out of her torso, and thick mists swirl around her, drawing ever closer. Marasi's outfit is simple and functional, but well put-together: long, loose, dark blue skirt, white blouse, red vest, and light blue tie. The background of the image is stylized, depicting concentric circles echoing out from a central one positioned just behind the speartip that is the Bands.

December 2025 art commission 🎨 Artist: @blacksalander.bsky.social 📖 Book: Wind and Truth ~ #spoilers #BrandonSanderson #Cosmere #StormlightArchive #WindAndTruthSpoilers #WindAndTruth

Heavily blurred image with a Wind and Truth spoiler label over it. There's 2 more of these.

A digital illustration of Hoid and Rysn locked in a struggle to prevent their Dawnshards from annihilating them. Rysn is in the foreground, having fallen from her wheelchair, hands raised in a protective or warding gesture, face fully looking away from Hoid's glowing figure - who is standing a little ways off, wind wildly blowing his hair and cape, his eyes glowing, his hands forming a gesture of power. Magic goes wild throughout the entire image - chromatic abberations, lens flares, halos, explosions of color, ribbons of light, afterimages echoing an unseen motion - as the powers inside these two attempt to pull them closer together. The Urithiru stone room is empty, save for the two humans, Rysn's fallen wheelchair, and Chiri-Chiri perched on her shoulders and back, looking protective and alarmed.

October 2024 art commission 🎨 Artist: www.instagram.com/sanexiah/ 📖 Book: Wind and Truth ~ #spoilers #BrandonSanderson #Cosmere #StormlightArchive #WindAndTruth

A digital illustration of Kaladin playing the flute while Syl looks at him fondly. Both are dressed in uniforms, though Syl - looking like a real human, only blue - sports a long skirt. The two are sitting on a grassy ground, by a small campfire, next to a small brook. The violet moon illuminates the night sky above distant mountains.

November 2025 art commission 🎨 Artist: @pincelito.bsky.social / www.instagram.com/meileen_art 📖 Book: Tress of the Emerald Sea ~ #spoilers #BrandonSanderson #Cosmere #TressOfTheEmeraldSea

A digital illustration of Ulaam, Hoid, and Tress, from Brandon Sanderson's Tress of the Emerald Sea. Ulaam dominates the image, front and center, looking somewhat vampiric in his sharp outfit and his pale skin, bloodshot eyes, and sharp teeth. He is smiling broadly, holding a scalpel in one hand, his other hand raised in front of him - sporting an extra finger, clearly freshly stitched there. Tress stands behind him, hands clasped before her, looking with a wide-eyed concerned expression. Hoid sits on his other side, wearing what looks like a little girl's dress and a party hat, hugging a jar of eyeballs, and smiling contently. The silhouette of a rat can be seen in the foreground.

A heavily blurred image captioned with SPOILERS FOR ISLES OF THE EMBERDARK

A digital illustration of the snake-like Dakwara from Brandon Sanderson's Isles of the Emberdark. The Dakwara looks like a giant ethereal green snake, with a hood like a cobra's and large back scales, ridged and bristling out threateningly. She is coiled around a small rocky island in the middle of a small lake full of the dark water-like essence of the unsea; her long body weaves in and out of the water, and her hood flares aggressively. Rock textured like underwater reefs surrounds the small lake and keeps it secluded. The dark blue and black sunless sky of Shadesmar looms above, faint cloud-like trails marring its vastness.

A heavily blurred image captioned with ISLES OF THE EMBERDARK SPOILERS

A digital illustration of Xisis and Starling, in their humans forms, in a richly decorated room in Silverlight. Xisis is dressed in a modern-looking black suit, and is playing the piano, no sheet music in sight. Light particles of a seemingly magical origin swirl around him. On the other side the piano, arm resting over it, is Starling, dressed in a simple orange robe, hair white hair falling free. She is holding wineglass, but doesn't seem to be paying much attention to it or Xisis - instead, she seems thoughtful. The dragonsteel bracelets keeping her imprisoned in this form are visible from under both her sleeves. Behind both figures, through a window on the far side of the room, are Silverlight's skyscraper-like buildings, outlined in silver.

A heavily blurred image labeled ISLES OF THE EMBERDARK SPOILERS

A digital illustration of the city of Silverlight. The viewpoint is distant, capturing the entire city, which is positioned on what appears to be a sometimes glassy sometimes rocky obsidian island, or perhaps a peninsula, in the middle of the endless Shadesmar unsea. Two smaller islands connect to the main landmass with bridges, and all three are fully covered with modern-looking buildings. Near the center of the main island the buildings are mostly skyscrapers, bathed by the silvery light of the perpendicularity far below, and reinforced by reflective dragonsteel, shaped into curved blades and arcs, balancing the futuristic feel of the city with more traditional fantasy aesthetics. Beyond this central area, the buildings are not quite as tall and not quite as illuminated, but only the very outskirts of the city experience true darkness. Below this entire tableau is the Nexus, a silvery star, shimmering with magical pearlescence - and surrounded by barely visible infrastructure of some kind. Everything else is either the endless smokey unsea, or endless featureless Shadesmar sky.

July 2025 art commission 🎨 Artist: www.instagram.com/nozomi_seirei/ 📖 Book: Mistborn ~ #BrandonSanderson #Cosmere #Mistborn

A digital illustration of a younger Lord Ruler walking out of a burning building unscathed. He is walking towards the viewer, rings decorating his fingers, his long coat and formal-looking outfit partially ablaze, revealing unmarred skin underneath. His long dark hair is similarly untouched by the flames. His downcast eyes hide a dark look, but the array of weapons and tools surrounding him, and subtly attached to his chest with blue steel lines, reveal his destructive intent. A multi-story building, perhaps an inn, has gone up in flames behind him, and fire similarly trails his footsteps.

April 2025 bonus art commission 🎨 Artist: @mushimallo.bsky.social 📖 Book: Wind and Truth ~ #spoilers #BrandonSanderson #Cosmere #StormlightArchive #WindAndTruthSpoilers #WindAndTruth

A digital illustration of Szeth using Division during his fight against the stone shaman Rit. Szeth is portrayed in his iconic white outfit, emerging explosively from a stone pillar. The illustration captures him mid-leap, Shardblade in hand, a trail of sparks, dust, and flame following his emergence from the stone, where a spiderweb of smoldering cracks outlines the remains of his rocky prison. Other stone pillars crowd the giant monastery hall at odd angles, all illuminated by the large windows in the distant background.

June 2025 art commission 🎨 Artist: @paintweaver.bsky.social 📖 Book: Wind and Truth ~ #spoilers #BrandonSanderson #Cosmere #StormlightArchive #WindAndTruthSpoilers #WindAndTruth

A digital illustration of Mishram, sitting on the ground and cradling a dying singer. Mishram looks a lot like a female singer with deep violet, nearly black, skin, streaked with red and white patterns. Jagged red carapace decorates her shoulders and forearms like armor, while spikes of it frame a crown around her head. Her long and dark hair waves in the wind, turning into smoke. Cradled in her arms is the slumped body of an armored singer, white outfit soaked in blood. Mishram holds one of their hands, and magic like violet flame engulfs both of their hands. The entire scene takes place on an empty battlefield, broken weapons and patches of grass littering the background, blood and fearspren crowding the foreground. The skies are red with the last rays of the setting sun.

March 2025 art commission 🎨 Artist: @jessicaparkerart.bsky.social 📖 Book: The Stormlight Archive ~ #BrandonSanderson #Cosmere #StormlightArchive

A digital illustration of Cultivation, standing in the midst of a lush environment. She appears in her human form, as a matronly woman, draped in a green dress that appears to be partially made of leaves, vines, and moss. Vines snake up and down Cultivation’s arms, and she works some magic. The power swirling around her forms the suggestion of draconic wings and horns.

May 2025 bonus art commission 🎨 Artist: bio.site/emily.e 📖 Book: Wind and Truth ~ #spoilers #BrandonSanderson #Cosmere #StormlightArchive #WindAndTruthSpoilers #WindAndTruth

A digital illustration of Gallant galloping through the Shadesmar skies with a herd of musicspren. Gallant is a powerfully built black Ryshadium. His saddle is embroidered with the Kholin glyphs, and a pair of swords attached to the saddle help convey that Ryshadium are larger than regular horses. Despite his massive bulk and military equipment, Gallant’s expression is almost smug. Surrounding him are several musicspren - horse-like spren, with ephemeral and ethereal bodies and elongated, slender limbs, sharper and smoother than what a real horse might have. Far below them is the Shadesmar ocean of beads, and in the far distance is this Realm’s cold sun.

August 2024 art commission 🎨 Artist: www.instagram.com/jillustratio... 📖 Book: Defiant ~ #BrandonSanderson #Cytoverse #Skyward

An illustration of Skyward Flight and company hanging out and cleaning one of their spaceships, from chapter 22 of Defiant. The ship stretches diagonally across the top of the image; from left to right are Kimmalyn, FM, Hesho, Spensa, Nedd, Arturo, Alanik, and Sadie. Kimmalyn, standing, cleans the side of the ship with a rag. She is blushing with happiness. Beside her is a bucket with suds spilling out the top. Next to her, FM cradles a hyperslug in a sling, which she smiles down at. Hesho stands on his hoverdisc, facing the rest of the crew with his mask off and set to the side. He and Spensa both hold cleaning rags. Spensa sits cross-legged, grinning widely, her eyes closed. Nedd sits stretched out on the ground, head tipped back and hand to his chest in laughter. His other sleeve is empty. Arturo, standing, braces himself against the ship with one hand and peers under it with a look of shock. His other hand holds a datapad. Alanik crouches beside him, soaking a rag in another bucket of water. She looks over at the others fondly. Sadie hangs upside-down from a light-line on the right side of the ship. She is visible from the torso up (...or down, at the moment), with her blue hair in a ponytail dangling down, and is scrubbing the underside of the ship. She's smiling brightly. A few more slugs are scattered through the scene, on laps, in body slings, and investigating soap bubbles; one sits atop the ship. The humans and Alanik all wear blue jumpsuits, and Hesho wears a fancy blue outfit. The room is predominantly cast in blue light.

A digital illustration of Adolin battling the thunderclasts in Azimir. The image is composed dynamically, capturing Adolin, in his blue Shardplate cracked all over, mid-flight as he descends upon the thunderclast below, massive metal chain wrapped around his waist, its hooked end held in one hand. The thunderclast, a monster of jagged rocky spikes, basial face, and red light glowing from inside its skull, is looking up at Adolin's flying form. In the distance, many of the bronze-topped buildings of the city of Azimir have either been reduced to rubble or are actively burning, filling the air with dust, and ash, and smoke.

A digital illustration of Vyre. The portrait depicts mostly just his head, but the collar of a black uniform can be seen too. Most prominent in the image are the violet crystals that have replaced his eyes, and the crystals jutting out from his temple and the side of his head, through his short black hair, loosely resembling a crown. Vyre's expression is neutral and emotionless.

A heavily blurred image with a label that reads "Spoilers for Wind and Truth"

A digital illustration of Rushu observing some flamespren being playful. Rushu, dressed in the simple brown and beige robes of an ardent, is sitting behind a stone tabletop, head resting on their arm, open book in front of them, with a content look on their face. In front of them, on the tabletop are a few flamespren, looking like tiny humans made of fire. Two of them are playfully chasing each other, while the third one is simply sitting on the stone and watching them. The rest of the tabletop is occupied by a small metal oven, a large gem encased by a metal cage, and some books. The entire scene takes place in what looks like a study with an open window and a view to a sunny outside, full of more books.

A heavily blurred image with a "Wind and Truth Spoilers" label over it

A digital illustration of Adolin summoning the Unoathed. Adolin stands in the center of the image, dressed customary blue Shardplate, though his helm is missing - and the armor glows a fiery red where the different pieces come together. Adolin holds Maya above his head, his other arm outstretched and mouth open in a shout, inviting figures not seen in the image; the armor of his right leg looks almost mechanical, like a prosthetic, as if there is no leg inside it. Surrounding Adolin is a ring of Shardblades, all different in design, driven into point-first the ground, Shardplate helmets resting on their hilts. Gloryspren, shaped like golden motes of light, fill the image, dancing around Adolin and illuminating the Blades.

A heavily blurred image with the text WIND AND TRUTH spoilers on it

A digital illustration of Adolin and Yanagawn playing a game of towers. Both are sitting on the ground, Adolin on a lush pillow, inside a colorful tent covered in rugs and banners with geometric patterns. Yanagawn is dressed in Adolin's blue Shardplate, helm on the ground, one hand gingerly holding a few playing cards. His face is that of a young man, with slightly effeminate features, dark eyes and dark hair, curly and medium-length, and flaring out a little; he looks attentively in Adolin's direction. Adolin himself is dressed in his military Kholin uniform, and is also holding playing cards while gesticulating with one arm. Between the two of them is a small table, covered in playing cards. The face-up ones have one of several simple symbols drawn on them - sword, spear, bow and arrow, shield, road, or mountains.

A blurred image with large label that reads WIND AND TRUTH SPOILERS

A digital illustration of Dalinar's last Nohadon vision. Prominent in the image is the child form of Honor, looking like an Alethi preteen with a long and slightly unkempt hair, dressed in regal clothing embroidered with clouds and winds. They hold a slice of delicious-looking bread in both hands, but look morosely away. Behind them, and farther from the viewer, is Dalinar in his Kholin uniform, looking in the direction of Honor, clearly mid-conversation with Nohadon - who in turn is dressed more plainly, and looks at Dalinar with kindness in his eyes. Both are framed by a large window through which nothing but golden white light comes through. The entire scene takes place in a pantry-like stone room.

An illustration of Kaladin and Syl holding Kaladin’s newly formed Honorspear in the moments of his joining the Oathpact. Kaladin stands, dressed simply in a plain sleeveless tunic and trousers, a blue cloak billowing behind him, Honorspear held in both hands in front of him, the speartip driven into the ground, his forehead resting on the spear’s shaft. Syl floats on the other side of the spear, her hands grasping it next to Kaladin’s, head resting against it, Her legs are bent at the knees, almost as if she is kneeling in the air, her ko-takama - half dress, half military jacket - and hair billows behind her, not unlikely Kaladin’s cloak. The two stand in a circle of Honorblades driven into the ground, magical winds and windspren swirling between and around them.

May 2021 art "commission" 🎨 Artist: @katiepayne.bsky.social 📖 Book: Rhythm of War ~ #RhythmOfWarSpoilers #RhythmOfWar #BrandonSanderson #Cosmere #StormlightArchive

A digital illustration of Raboniel approaching the Nine, the ruling council of the Fused. Raboniel herself is in the center of the image, visible from the back, red ponytailed hair, elegant blue dress with open back, the red pattern of her skin clear to the viewer. Surrounding her are nine organic-looking stone pillars, floor to ceiling, a few times her height, and each pillar houses a Fused with a different and unique design, the pillars keeping them suspended in the air without covering much of their carapace designs or skin patterns. Some of the more notable ones include a male with red-on-white skin directly in front of Raboniel, looking imperiously down at her; the carapace on his head is reminiscent of massive wicked ram horns. Two female forms flank him, one with the same topknot and long hair as Raboniel, suggesting they share a form, and one with red-on-black skin marbling and carapace that evokes jagged flames. All of this takes place in the middle of the throne room of the Kholinar palace, sunlight streaming behind the throne at the far end of the hall, bathing the area in warm yellows and reds.
