Mistborn - Vin sketchby *Inkthinker

Scraps

Based on the novel The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson. This is just a rough sketch of the series heroine, something I'm hoping to work more on later. Towards the end of the book Vin is more than a bit of a bad-ass.

One of Sanderson's strong points as an author is that he introduces interesting magic systems... magic isn't something that just happens through vague mechanics that allows for any effect the author needs, but rather a system with rules and effects that the author finds new and interesting ways to abuse.

In the Mistborn series, magic (or at least one aspect of it) revolves around the ingestion and internal "burning" of metals like pewter, steel, iron, gold and so forth. Mistborn are people who have the power to burn many metals, and so they have a lot of power. Taking up a big slab of barely-sharpened pig iron and toting it on your shoulder is a minor feat.

Illustrated in PS CS2 on the Cintiq 21, about 15 minutes of doodle there. I need to widen her hips just a little, and there's a bit of dust that looks like a beauty mark but needs to go.

-EDIT-

Hey, look at that... I actually did something with it.

The series is great. I love all the books but, personally I think the second book was the most epic. Great dialogue and character development. Love the drawing.

I'm seriously going to have to check this series out.

~Master-Artificer Apr 29, 2009

I now feel compelled to read the last book. I finished the first two, but haven't had time to get through the last one.

Wow! But the second book ended on such a cliffhanger! HOW CAN YOU STAND THE SUSPENSE, MAN?!!

The third one apparently just went paperback, it's supposed to be on store shelves now. It wraps up with epic struggle, and reveals the answers to everything from the origins of the Kandra, the Steel Inquisitors and the Koloss, to the reason why the mists kill some people and not others, not to mention the final reveals on the history and reasons for why the world is a red-sunned, smoke-skied, ash-raining hellhole.

It's good stuff.

SSSHHHHHH!!!! The only way I'm making is it by completely blocking it from my memory! But now you have reminded me and I am lost to book-lust.

You realize of course, that you have just destroyed any chance I might have had at good grades this quarter.

I'm kind of hoping that the whole red-sunned-hellhole thing isn't because of a drain on the planet's "life-force." That concept is getting a little stale.

I'll semi-spoil that one for you; it's not a "planetary life force" thing. The series has big swords, but Final Fantasy this ain't.

~Master-Artificer May 1, 2009

Oh man, can you imagine Vin with spiky blonde hair?! Ahahahah! And the Inquisitors turn out to be clones of Sephiroth? Ok, I have to stop now. I'm grossing myself out.

Hi there from Poland. I love your work, Inkthinker, it's brilliant

Tiny Vin with this inhuman sword is a hilarious idea...

And about the book, can you believe it that the second part just arrived here? I'm mad about how delayed it is, and I'll probably get the third part years after. So please, tell me - is the finale really worth reading? I'm considering buying the english version, even though I'm not really good at reading english novels.

Badass!
