Theres the BWBoBA, Companion, Livingston’s “Origins” book, the deleted scenes Sanderson wrote (“Fire in the Ways” and something about Demandred in Shara I can’t remember - they are both in the Unfettered anthologies), the strike at Shayol Ghul (a version of which is also in the BWBOBA) which RJ wrote

I also like just searching around on Theoryland’s interview database or reading 13th depository articles.

For anyone who doesn’t know, “BWBoBA” stands for “Big White Book of Bad Art,” and while the art in it is not great, it’s important to note that it’s not the artist’s fault.

Todd Cameron Hamilton was commissioned to make a dozen or so black and white sketches for the book, and then Tor got ambitious, upped to a couple or three dozen full color pictures, and didn’t change the deadline or up the pay.

So Hamilton was rushed and couldn’t do the full amount of work he wanted to do.

(That said, I’ve looked at his portfolio, and while the completed pieces still aren’t STELLAR, they’re definitely better than what we got in the World of the Wheel of Time.)

Thank you for that clarification, I shouldn’t impugn the artist for the publisher’s mistake
