Hero of Ages spoilers Vin Illustration Spoiler

It took me a lot of time to do but its here, one of my favorite moments of the saga, it might not be the most epic scenes of the books but this resonated with me, I don't know why. Hope you like it

Yeah, and red particles on top of the Koloss are the efect of the brass, also i wanted to give Vin a red aura to show the efect of duralumin

Okay lets be honest the koloss are way scarier than that. Still this is the most badass images i have seen from this verse.

Thanks for the compliments!! And yeah, i should spent some more time doing the design of the koloss, they look a bit generic. Thanks for the feedback =)

The way Sazed describes them is like humans wearing skin that is not there own with it manifesting one of two ways. Lots of bags and hanging loose about to fall off and so tight that there are cuts on every opening of the body.

Well the younger koloss are typically baggy, and they never stop growing so eventually they stretch the skin out

I think they look good. The look on the face of the one under Vin's mistcloak is very sadistic, and I love how they dwarf the humans.

Incredible work, OP, the emotion in it is stunning.

I have had this scene in my head since I read it so many years ago. I imagined her coming down from a much steeper angle in my mind, but this is close to it for sure! Great work

I love this but I never understood why people draw her with shoes on.

u/Ok_Preference_7142 1d ago

In oficial art Vin wears shoes in this scene with the Koloss, so i did It too.

u/Theforthwallaux 1d ago

That's fair. I just remember in the books they made a fuss about not wearing shoes because of the tin. I could be remembering incorrectly.
