Kaladin Animatic -"Warrior" by Tren- The Stormlight Archive Animation (Fan creation/Unlicensed)

[@ikohforfs]

Yep, tearing chuckle at the "Storming called it".

[@NSSpaser]

That big YEET Also the timing of the Sylspear was pretty sweet

[@IlsaTheArtist]

I was actually very pleased with how the appearance of the Sylspear struck that tone with the music; I wasn't expecting it to fit so well. Thank you for your kind comment! Yeah, ha. I was considering putting a 'yeet' or two around Szeth when he's fighting Dalinar, but I didn't want to be too joking on the more serious scenes.

@@IlsaTheArtist In this one you showed a bunch of great scenes, you should make more that just focus on certain ones such as the adolin duel or kaladin saying the words

[@IlsaTheArtist]

@@TheNinjaDwarfBiker Yeah, my Shallan one focuses on a very specific scene. My Hoid one focuses on a lot of his cameos. I'm trying to figure out my next one and its framing as well.

Something I only just noticed on this most recent time it was recommended to me; The Lopen is in the middle of the tower rescue handing out spears!

[@IlsaTheArtist]

Yes! I often read through a scene before I draw it. Lopen is their support hero in this scenario. I believe I even looked up how many bridgemen were a part of the rescue to get it accurate, but I don't remember precisely, since this premiered a little over a year ago, now.

Iroh and Dalinar commiserate about moody teenagers, Aang, Zuko, Syl, Kaladin, and Adolin talk about flying/falling with style, honor and thrones, Shallan/Veil/Radiant, sit with Ozai's angles complaining about how they had to be quiet/mother never loved me/wanted to join the circus. It ends with Aang and Kaladin recognizing something out the window. They fly off. We see a cart, and the tope of a cage fly above the skyline. Then cuts to Aang and Kal standing in the street, cabbages and freed slaves strewn about with the cabbage man and Tvlakv freaking out in the back ground.
