A bridge run, and a wound in an inappropriate place

Yup, I’m down to drawing two scenes at the same time. 😅

1: Kaladin’s first bridge run, from The Way of Kings. I spent two days on the underlying Clip Studio Paint file, but this was a pain even WITH it - I couldn’t have pulled it off without!

2: A scene from Oathbringer - some spoilers follow, also a minor one from Rhythm of War.

Shallan has been wounded on an infiltration mission in Kholinar. More precisely, she was run through with a sword, but healed herself with Stormlight. The surgeon in Kaladin can’t help but try to get a look at her wound, but she slaps his hand away - "the wound was not in an appropriate place."

I decided against doing this canonically - Shallan should be wearing the face of Lyn, a message runner, along with her uniform, who - Rhythm of War Spoiler - briefly has an affair with Kaladin between books, which makes this scene even weirder. But it's a scene between Shallan and Kaladin, not Lyn and Kaladin, so this is one of the moments where the artist should be allowed to put a Disillusionment Charm on the pic. ;)
