  1. Ok so I got a good amount to say. First is my costume is almost done. My sandals came and my spear is almost done. Second I somehow convinced my mother to read stormlight after years of trying and she is enjoying it. How I managed this was by showing her all the cool photos from last dragonsteel of all the cosplayers and since she likes making costumes she decided to go. Day one she will be going as Navani and day two as Veil. What is really funny about all of this is that she still say that Way of Kings is to big and that it drag alone. And I just found out that she doesn’t like either Shallan or Jasnah and that she will sometimes skip ahead a little bit to get through those section quicker. I am now conflicted. On one hand I love my mother so much for trying and really giving her all in an attempt to be apart of the community I am. She is even going to Sanderson 101 and the convention. But on the other I can’t ignore this grieves sin of skipping some of the book and not liking Jasnah or Shallan. I mean I kind of get it because we don’t see a lot of the real them in the first book and shallan grows so much in book two, but it still hurts. 

    So basically what I am asking is has anyone else gone through this and side question, is anyone else bringing family/friends to dragonsteel who are just not quite Sanderson fans yet?

      Ooh, thanks Phantom! Any advice you have would be greatly appreciated.

      So @Edema Rue first piece of advice is for your first time cosplaying choose something simple with one show piece in there. For example last year I went as Spook. All I needed for that was some basic close that could pass as old fashioned and a wool blanket I used as a cloak. The show piece was that I got some cool looking canes and I wore a blind fold the entire time. So basically go for someone like Vin or Vail, instead of Shallan or Venli.

      Second piece of advice is don’t worry about shoes. What I mean by this is that its more important to were shoes that are comfortable then that fit you costume perfectly. When in doubt just wear black Nikes or something similar.

      finely use YouTube for ideas and if you need help making stuff. And if you don’t want to make stuff try thrift stores near you. 

      If you have any question feel free to PM me

      Small brushes, patients, practice, and a lack of caring if I get arthritis.

      If your interested in starting painting models I can give some advice all through I am far from an expert 

  4. Everyone you can get tickets to events at Dragonsteel. I manage to be in the first group that gets to play test the soon to be released Stormlight RPG

      Your welcome, I want to start learning to draw at some point. It would be nice to be able to draw some of my  own concept art for my books. But you know, time is limited.

  23. Hey everyone, I have never drawn before and I have decided to start messing around with it. I am going to be practicing with the same character I have created. Here is the first photo, I drew this with no practice at all. I will trying to post every day with a new attempt

      You said you created this character, what for?

    3. Silver Phantom

      Silver Phantom

      It was just a thought in the back of my head for a character in “Pillars of Eternity”

  24. Hey, I saw on your post that it shows your knight Radiant test scores at the bottom. I was just wondering how you did that

    1. Aeoryi

      Aeoryi

      They are outdated, but there is link somewhere in the 17s discusion on a thread called 'share your radiant quiz results!' 

      Try googling it if that doesn't work.
