JohnnyONeal he/him Posted August 23, 2022 Report Share Posted August 23, 2022 Hi! I'm Johnny "Brother Two" O'Neal from Brotherwise Games. I've been a Coppermind user and 17th Shard forum lurker for years, so I decided it's high time for me to join! As Sanderfans go, I'm about as lucky as they come. I've had the chance to collaborate with Brandon and the Dragonsteel team on two projects, which have become a big part of my professional career. Call to Adventure: The Stormlight Archive is a "create your own Knight Radiant" that I designed and art directed. After the success of that project, I embarked on Stormlight Premium Miniatures. These figurines are part of a larger visual development project to create official versions of every major protagonist in the Stormlight novels. On both projects, I worked closely with Brandon's VP of Creative Development, Isaac Stewart. I'm a huge fan and have pretty deep knowledge of the books -- every miniature and illustration requires a lot of rereading to make sure we're getting every detail right. But I'm astounded by the level of knowledge and insight on these forums. I tell everyone I know that this fandom is the best one I've ever experienced, and this community proves that point! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argent he/him Posted August 24, 2022 Report Share Posted August 24, 2022 Welcome to the forums, Johnny! I can say with full honesty that the work Brotherwise does for and with Dragonsteel are some of my favorite collaborations - the attention to detail, respect for the canon, and just the actual quality of the products are all top shelf (and I've seen some not-top shelves...), and I am always excited to see you abandon all other projects and become a Cosmere company come up with more Cosmere stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Invocation Posted August 24, 2022 Report Share Posted August 24, 2022 Welcome to the Shard! I absolutely love playing Call to Adventure (both Stormlight and non) with my friends and family, so thanks for all the work y'all put into those! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that Brandon says that Mistborn is his best magic system, and I agree it's the most impressive from a world-building perspective. But I love the emotional resonance of the Stormlight magic system. Tying magical power to character-driven oaths is such a great way to drive the plot... it's what makes the Sanderlanches in Stormlight so good.

It's hard for me to choose! Off the top of my head, it's hard not to think of Dalinar, Kaladin, Vin, and Sazed as favorites. But there's a special place in my heart for Adolin, Vasher is super cool, I really loved Navani in RoW, and I'm a bigger Shallan fan than most. I also like Lift and Rysn, and I'm probably still missing one of my favorites. On 8/23/2022 at 6:07 PM, Argent said: Welcome to the forums, Johnny!

Aww, thank you! The more we work with Dragonsteel, the more we want to! Wonderfully, that feeling seems to be mutual. We have some really exciting projects ahead! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyONeal he/him Posted August 31, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 It is a pleasure! Here's a photo of me and Brandon from my first visit to Dragonsteel HQ! I'm holding a piece by Petar "DNAvenom" Penev, one of the many pieces that Brandon approved as we were working on Call to Adventure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
