TO HOLD BACK DARKNESS
Preliminary concept for WIND AND TRUTH
Introducing Whelan Wednesdays
We’re pleased to announce a new schedule for original art releases that will carry us through spring. We’ll be adding an original to the shop every Wednesday at 11am ET starting with this preliminary concept for WIND AND TRUTH.
Michael is still working on 2025 Leftovers & Palette Gremlins, and small paintings in that series will be added to the shop with each gallery reveal. In the mix of upcoming art, we’ll also have more prelims from The Stormlight Archive and At the Mountains of Madness, as well as a new selection of original book cover illustrations.
TO HOLD BACK DARKNESS
Preliminary concept for WIND AND TRUTH
With the Everstorm engulfing the sky, Dalinar prepares to face Odium in a contest of champions. Ever the student of The Way of Kings, he keeps his copy close at hand.
Ever the perfectionist, Michael wrapped the art around a book to make a dustjacket prototype, and the faint fold lines are still there.
Acrylic - 9 ½” x 20”
$4,500
