#CosmereInktober2026 day 1: Blood. Demon's Blood to be exact! Happy Cosmere Inktober! I missed out last year as I just had had a baby, but we are gonna take a crack at it again this year! I am very rusty but I like the challenge of doing something everyday so we are gonna try for it! Wish me luck!

A mostly black and white drawing on a tan background of a hand, palm upward as a strange dark liquid dripps pff of it and pools in the center of the palm. The liquid is largely violet with faint swirls of other colors: red, orange, and blue.

August 2026 art commission 🎨 Artist: www.instagram.com/lara_carson/ 📖 Series: The Stormlight Archive ~ #BrandonSanderson #Cosmere #StormlightArchive

A digital illustration of the Nightwatcher, from The Stormlight Archive. The spren is depicted as a green humanoid woman, crawling in the direction of the viewer, one arm extended, palm up, offering some nebulous power depicted as a mix between blue tendrils of magic and an exploding star. The Nightwatcher's form isn't entirely solid either, her hair turns into smokey coils of magic, some of which turn into tiny hands. Her eyes are fully black, her skin is occasionally translucent, bones visible here and there, and her long, claw-like nails glow with an almost toxic green light. The entire illustration is framed with a rectangular frame that bears the words "the nightwatcher" on it.

Happy belated birthday Mistborn! I love the book series so much and can‘t wait to see it all on the screen. #cosmere #brandonsanderson #digitalart

Digital Illustration of Vin and Wax from Mistborn era 1 and era 2, respectively. Their mistcloaks/coats are intertwined in the middle of the artwork, Vin is looking out over Luthadel to the left, dagger in her hand, as Wax is looking out over Elendel to the right, holding his pistol Vindication up beside his head. Mists curl around them both, tying the two scenes and eras together.

February 2026 (bonus) art commission 🎨 Artist: linktr.ee/zurr.rra 📖 Book: Mistborn: The Final Empire ~ #BrandonSanderson #Cosmere #Mistborn

A digital illustration of Rashek sitting next to a broken stained glass window depicting Alendi. Rashek looks young, probably no older than 30, with long dark hair, metal jewelry and piercing, dressed in a long and loose overcoat with V-patterns embroidered into it. He is sitting on the ground, at the foot of a large stained glass window depicting Alendi as a conqueror, now fallen to the floor, and shattered. Rashek seems lost in thought as he looks at the image of the man he killed. He casts a long, dark shadow that falls across Alendi's visage, shrouding it in darkness.

April 2026 art commission 🎨 Artist: @nisnow.art 📖 Book: Isles of the Emberdark ~ #spoilers #BrandonSanderson #Cosmere #IslesOfTheEmberdark

A digital illustration of Dusk, his Aviars, and Starling in the Cave of Death, from Isles of the Emberdark novel. The two people have stopped in the middle of what looks like a jungle path, illuminated by the harsh light of a robotic drone not visible in the illustration. Starling, seemingly cautious, has extended a finger in the direction of the raven-like Sak, who in turn is perched on Dusk's forearm; Sak looks upset with Starling. Rokke, more colorful than Sak, rests on Dusk's shoulder and observes the bonding moment between dragon-in-human-form and bird.

A digital illustration of the crew of the Dynamic from the Isles of the Emberdark novel. The crew is divided between different locations, and the artist has framed them inside the silhouette of a dragon in front of a starry cosmic background. From left to right: Starling and Nazh walk the streets of Silverlight. Chrysalis walks into the engine room of the Dynamic, where Aditil and ZeetZi are having a conversation. Ed and Leonore study the lifeforms on a tropical island, perhaps Patji.

Ranette and her wife Jaxy in her workshop by Cynthia Sheppard. This piece can be found in the Mistborn setting Handbook!

A dark haired woman with olive toned tan skin in the foreground with a rifle over her shoulder, examining the stock and barrel. Her work table before her has tools and a coffee cup with saucer, and bullets. Behind her is a blonde woman in a blue dress watching her from an open doorway, across from her is a wall of rifles and an open flame.

Happy Pride, everyone, because nothing says Pride as well as a little "what if I stabbed you to death while you choked me to near-death?" Rashek and Alendi, y'all.

February 2026 art commission 🎨 Artist: linktr.ee/zurr.rra 📖 Book: Mistborn: The Final Empire ~ #spoilers #BrandonSanderson #Cosmere #Mistborn

A digital illustration of the moment Rashek betrays Alendi at the Well of Ascension. The two are portrayed from the side, standing, bathed in the Well's glow, stonework visible in the darkness far from them. Alendi is a physically imposing man, powerfully built and clad in leather armor and winter clothes, sword in one hand, Rashek's throat in the other. Rashek, more lithe, wears similar winter clothing, but instead of armor he bears a Terrisman's furs. He is clearly on the back foot of this altercation, but has managed to plunge a dagger in Alendi's chest, red blood staining blade and leather. Alendi himself doesn't seem to have noticed the fatal injury just yet, as his face, mere inches away from Rashek's own, is twisted by anger, not fear or pain.

A digital illustration of Kaladin playing the flute while Syl looks at him fondly. Both are dressed in uniforms, though Syl - looking like a real human, only blue - sports a long skirt. The two are sitting on a grassy ground, by a small campfire, next to a small brook. The violet moon illuminates the night sky above distant mountains.

A digital illustration of Ulaam, Hoid, and Tress, from Brandon Sanderson's Tress of the Emerald Sea. Ulaam dominates the image, front and center, looking somewhat vampiric in his sharp outfit and his pale skin, bloodshot eyes, and sharp teeth. He is smiling broadly, holding a scalpel in one hand, his other hand raised in front of him - sporting an extra finger, clearly freshly stitched there. Tress stands behind him, hands clasped before her, looking with a wide-eyed concerned expression. Hoid sits on his other side, wearing what looks like a little girl's dress and a party hat, hugging a jar of eyeballs, and smiling contently. The silhouette of a rat can be seen in the foreground.

A heavily blurred image captioned with ISLES OF THE EMBERDARK SPOILERS

A digital illustration of Xisis and Starling, in their humans forms, in a richly decorated room in Silverlight. Xisis is dressed in a modern-looking black suit, and is playing the piano, no sheet music in sight. Light particles of a seemingly magical origin swirl around him. On the other side the piano, arm resting over it, is Starling, dressed in a simple orange robe, hair white hair falling free. She is holding wineglass, but doesn't seem to be paying much attention to it or Xisis - instead, she seems thoughtful. The dragonsteel bracelets keeping her imprisoned in this form are visible from under both her sleeves. Behind both figures, through a window on the far side of the room, are Silverlight's skyscraper-like buildings, outlined in silver.

A heavily blurred image labeled ISLES OF THE EMBERDARK SPOILERS

A digital illustration of the city of Silverlight. The viewpoint is distant, capturing the entire city, which is positioned on what appears to be a sometimes glassy sometimes rocky obsidian island, or perhaps a peninsula, in the middle of the endless Shadesmar unsea. Two smaller islands connect to the main landmass with bridges, and all three are fully covered with modern-looking buildings. Near the center of the main island the buildings are mostly skyscrapers, bathed by the silvery light of the perpendicularity far below, and reinforced by reflective dragonsteel, shaped into curved blades and arcs, balancing the futuristic feel of the city with more traditional fantasy aesthetics. Beyond this central area, the buildings are not quite as tall and not quite as illuminated, but only the very outskirts of the city experience true darkness. Below this entire tableau is the Nexus, a silvery star, shimmering with magical pearlescence - and surrounded by barely visible infrastructure of some kind. Everything else is either the endless smokey unsea, or endless featureless Shadesmar sky.

A digital illustration of a younger Lord Ruler walking out of a burning building unscathed. He is walking towards the viewer, rings decorating his fingers, his long coat and formal-looking outfit partially ablaze, revealing unmarred skin underneath. His long dark hair is similarly untouched by the flames. His downcast eyes hide a dark look, but the array of weapons and tools surrounding him, and subtly attached to his chest with blue steel lines, reveal his destructive intent. A multi-story building, perhaps an inn, has gone up in flames behind him, and fire similarly trails his footsteps.
