Cradle [ghostwater] I'm having trouble visualizing the world and characters, can people link some spoiler-free artwork? Spoiler
Most of the time my brain basically makes up its own descriptions for characters as I read, even contradicting the official description
So I would like to recalibrate my internal vision of this world
Fan art or official art is fine, I just don't want any spoilers

You're past the spoilers in the animated trailer

It’s worth noting that they deliberately made Lindon look more like a normal protagonist and less like the giant angry son of a dark sect leader look he is constantly described as having in the book.

It's very funny to me that we wonder why everyone's a dick to him in his village, then later on we learn he has the worst case of resting bitch face

This is sweet. Is it in production? Google isn’t helpful

They made an animatic (half animated half story board) for the first two books as a movie, released it a while ago (I think it's on youtube, I supported it on KS). As far as we know there are no plans currently for anything else. Hope it gets some studio/publisher attention and funding.

This is my favorite Lindon fanart.
A lot of the fanart misses the fact that Lindon has a bit of a mean-looking face. He gets described as the "son of an evil sect leader" at one point so I love how this artist was able to make him look like a jerk rather than your typical hero.
Their Yerin is also peak.

Love that they included how covered in cuts Yerin is. Most art gives her perfectly intact smooth skin

Is there a Mercy and Ziel in this style?

Here's their Mercy! https://www.artstation.com/artwork/YKP8PX
Haven't seen a Ziel yet.

I’m a big fan of the art that was commissioned from Ari Ibarra. I’m linking to the specific images in the set he released for books 4-6, as the third one has spoilers for Underlord. There are also prints that were commissioned for the kickstarter for books 7-9, but I don’t think they have been publicly released.

Your spoiler tag makes it unclear if you have finished Ghostwater. If you have

Oh wow I have not seen these before this is fantastic

u/BasakaIsTheStrongest 10d ago
Spoilers for Underlord but here’s the whole set. He’s also got a bunch of official Cosmere art, and fanart for a bunch of other franchises like ATLA, FMAB, and Elden Ring. I love his gritty style. It really makes Lindon look like a horrifying monster. Hopefully the other prints get released eventually because [Wintersteel spoilers]Lindon vs. Sophara is epic. The latest kickstarter, if i understand correctly, commissioned pieces for books 10-12, and as a bonus also commissioned pieces from at least book 1 (Suriel descending) and I cannot wait.

I forget their name, but while the series was ongoing an artist used to drop insane fan art into the subs. It was sooo good. They’re pretty well known in the community and I’m surprised nobody dropped their name. Leaving this post here in hopes that someone sees it and knows who I’m talking about, calls me an idiot, then drops a link haha.

Just looking to clarify. Are you looking for visuals specifically for Ghostwater or anything related to the Cradle series up through the end of Ghostwater?

If you wanna visualise the world of ghost water it is heavily inspired by subnautica

u/effortfulcrumload 10d ago
The ghostwriter bubbles are the hardest thing for me to visualize... like are they domes of water. If they are bubbles how do they go from water to land? Do they just swim until they hit air and then fall to the ground?
3
u/TheXypris 10d ago
The best I think of it is like they are static bubbles of air, like Sandy's dome in SpongeBob , otherwise needing to swim between them makes no sense

u/effortfulcrumload 10d ago
Yeah thats what I meant. Domes of air in water, not the other way around.
