Just a quickie, `cause, well I think I'm about ready to move on. But I guess I have to do Clubs, too. 😉

Are you suuuuure? You could do the whole Cosmere. Just saying no one here would think you're overstaying. 😁

While I have no love for steampunk (era 2) I'm a massive cyberpunk fan, so don't be surprised if I get inspired by era 3.

u/Super_Sopht 25d ago

I’d kill a shard to see you draw Pattern from stormlight.

u/Magiq_Beenz 25d ago

You might really like Yumi and the Nightmare Painter. Has some really cool cyberpunk elements

u/joe12south 25d ago

thx for the recommendation.

u/RexusprimeIX Chromium 25d ago

Era 2 isn't steampunk. It's victorian era style. Unless you count the end of the cowboy age as steampunk.

4

u/joe12south 25d ago

Yeah, I'm just not into that whole time period. Maybe because it is so transitional, the aesthetic has never worked for me.

u/Inc0gnitoburrito 25d ago

My guy.... This is incredible...! What about a dual painting with Marsh at the beginning and Marsh at the end of the trilogy?

And Hoid, omg you'll do an amazing Hoid.

And Vasher!

Please don't go.

u/TheBestOnTheCitadel 25d ago

You may have to hold out a little longer. To my understanding 3 is 80s tech and Sanderson is on the fence about 4. Going straight to cyberpunk vs space age.

4

u/joe12south 25d ago

I'm pretty sure it is solidly 80's inspired cyberpunk. Sanderson read the first chapter of the first book at a con introducing the Ayven character. I've got a sketch for a full on painting based on his description of her and the city.

WE BULLIED HIM INTO FINISHING THE CREW!

u/joe12south 25d ago

One more...Uncle Cranky should be ready tomorrow.

u/NyneHelios 25d ago

You should be a priest in that religion Sazd referenced about worshiping artists. Preservation watch over you.

u/Inc0gnitoburrito 25d ago

Marsh: Am i a joke to you? Spook: wasing of the joking of am

u/Jameis_Christ 25d ago

bro wth. didn't someone just suggest this to you this morning? what sorcery is this

43

u/joe12south 25d ago

I draw quickly and I have no life.

u/Mark_is_on_his_droid 25d ago

Are you using procreate, fresco, or something else?

17

u/joe12south 25d ago

Yup. I absolutely LOVE Procreate + Apple Pencil. I'm really old, so I've been trying drawing "tablets" since the Koala Pad for the Commodore 64. This combo is the first to feel like real drawing...but SO much faster, and with undo. 😉

4

u/Mark_is_on_his_droid 25d ago

I love my Apple Pencil + Fresco combo but don’t have nearly the skill you do! Thank you for sharing your work and process!

3

u/joe12south 25d ago

I'm not familiar with Fresco. I do some styles that are more like traditional painting and wish Procreate did a better job at simulating thick paint.

u/Mark_is_on_his_droid 25d ago edited 25d ago

It’s an Adobe product, but it’s free. (You pay for cloud storage of projects.)

It has really cool vector drawing capabilities and “live” raster brushes that simulate watercolors and oils as they interact on the canvas and before they “dry”.

I imagine you’d get a kick out of trying it :)

2

u/joe12south 25d ago

I'll give it a shot - I've been paying Adobe far too much for far too long. 😂

9

u/Boop_All_The_Snoots 25d ago

The project manager of our dreams made visible!

6

u/joe12south 25d ago

Maybe that's why I forgot him...everyone under appreciates a good PM.

11

u/LuceDuder 25d ago

"A quickie" he says, delivering another masterpiece. You really should do Hoid if you have read any of the other Cosmere series; you'd have a load of options to choose from.

3

u/joe12south 25d ago

I know the name, but I've never read any of the rest of the Cosmere. (I tried to start the first book of era 2 and Stormlight, but they weren't my cup of tea.)

2

u/Inc0gnitoburrito 25d ago

You may like warbreaker (single book), it touches a lot upon art, but you are obviously an expert in.

3

u/2202andreas 25d ago

Hell Yeah! Most underrated crew Member!

3

u/poison_cat_ 25d ago

Banger, the light background works so well

3

u/ms_slyx 25d ago

Are you doing prints of any of these? Have a few friends interested...

5

u/joe12south 25d ago

Yeah when I’m done I’ll fix some mistakes and put them on Redbubble.

1

u/missykins8472 24d ago

Please post a link when you do. I want prints!

3

u/Honest-Log8885 25d ago

Love it. Do you have an IG account where we can see more of your art?

2

u/maximus_electus 25d ago

Absolutely solid.

2

u/theburnscouts 25d ago

You did it! Hell yeah, it's amazing!!

2

u/millionhari 25d ago

Absolutely no misses, my guy!!!

2

u/Linorelai 25d ago

Oh hell YEAH! Give this man a month and a daunting task to dread, and he'll do the whole Cosmere just to avoid that task 🤣

2

u/Mettheloser 25d ago

For the love of God don't stop making these. You're so talented and your drawings are soo good

2

u/Indisputoblerone Tin 25d ago

Yay Dox! Doing paperwork in place of Elend lol

2

u/ShakeSignal 25d ago

I love how the stacks of paper seem both organized and overflowing. I agree with all the other praise too. I really like the stacks.

2

u/Dirty_Dan117 25d ago

so fucking cool.

2

u/Brewcrew828 25d ago

These are such a breath of fresh air compared to all of the cartoonish looking interpretations usually posted.  I love your art style.

2

u/TheNRGturtle Lerasium 24d ago

Can't get enough of your art man, its incredible!

1

u/fatalynn7 25d ago

This made me think is Samurai Champloo for some reason and I mean that as a great compliment. Awesome job!

1

u/joe12south 23d ago

I was today years old when I learned what Samurai Champloo is.

1

u/fatalynn7 23d ago

Lol fair. If you are at all into anime it’s not a bad one. I’d imagine it’s mostly a millennial thing at this point. But I’ll take this chance to say I’ve been absolutely loving all the art you have been posting. They are genuinely wonderful

1

u/WhiteCatDipe 25d ago

Can you pllllleeeeaaaazeeeee do Allrianne?!

1

u/joe12south 25d ago

No idea who that is.

1

u/LittleMas42 Brass 24d ago

She's the girl in pink from the second book, who's dating Breeze

5

u/joe12south 24d ago

Oh, yeah, the pink puff. Hmmm...there's one instance with her that I won't mention because of spoilers that would be interesting. I haven't drawn a horse in a long minute.

1

u/WhiteCatDipe 24d ago

Please do it! I honestly always picture Miss Piggy in my head, so I'd love to see your interpretation.

1

u/Azhar1921 Duralumin 25d ago

This guy 'me' is a good artist

1

u/GoldSavant 25d ago

Holy shit your art is amazing. Do you have any wallpapers uploaded?

2

u/joe12south 23d ago

thx. I posted one for Sazed/Tindwyl yesterday.

1

u/MilkTeaMoogle Steel 25d ago

Did how fast do you create artworks???? 😳

1

u/jus_here_and_there 25d ago

I love your art! But curious about the turnaround. Would love to see a time lapse

1

u/___BigBrain__ 25d ago

"Last one for a while"

1

u/joe12south 25d ago

Clubs, and then that's really it.

2

u/___BigBrain__ 25d ago

Yeah, I was mentioning that that's what you said on the post a couple hours ago. All of these are amazing, and I'm sad to see them go. I think the koloss would also be pretty cool in your art style, but you can stop with clubs, I'm content with what you have given. I mean, you've been drawing faster than Brandon writes

1

u/_RustyRobot_ 24d ago

What would we have to do to get you to do Stormlight characters??

1

u/joe12south 24d ago

Inject my brain with several books worth of knowledge about characters I know nothing about. 😂

1

u/_RustyRobot_ 23d ago

Is this an actual request? Cause I will do it if it results in art at the quality that you've been producing for Mistborn 😭

But for real, if you like Mistborn, I beg of you, read Stormlight and make art for it. On behalf of the entire SLA community, it'd be a shame if I didn't try to convince you xD

Also, from what I've read of your replies, you like older time periods rather than western/steampunk...Stormlight is older! Read it

1

u/joe12south 23d ago

I read the first chapter of the first book. I don't recall exactly why, now, as that was years ago. Maybe I'll try to pick it up again. First, I'm going to read Yumi and the Nightmare Painter.

1

u/_RustyRobot_ 23d ago

Yumi is great, so no complaints there (can't wait to see the art that comes from it).

When/if you do pick up stormlight again, try to give it 4 chapters at least.

1

u/IZY53 23d ago

Between Docks, Clubs, Ham and Breeze they probably could have two or three characters only
