The Princeling and the Bridgeboy

When I started drawing this, I didn’t know just how much Adolin hated being commanded around by a bridgeman darkeyes, and how much Kaladin resents princes he perceives as pampered, but now that I’m almost a third through Words of Radiance, their relationship and mutual dislike in spite of being so similar is so much fun. 😅 These books just keep getting better and better, too.

It was a fun experience drawing with my daughter looking over my shoulder, offering a lot of helpful tips but also trying to dissuade me from sticking arrows in Kaladin's armour, and generally being the most sticklerish beta-artist I could hope for in this sticklerish fandom. (I still got my way with the arrows.)

A very happy new year to you all! It’s certainly a daunting one geopolitically and domestically, but at least there's always art. 💙
