Mistborn Wallpaper
Published Mar 26, 2009
Mistborn
First of all I want to thank Brandon Sanderson for writing these wonderful novels and allowing me the opportunity to use some of the artwork from them to create a wallpaper based on the series. If you love epic fantasy and haven’t read them yet, check them out. They are a great read and put a bit of a different twist on the genre. You can find out more about them and Brandon’s other work at brandonsanderson.com. Thanks again Brandon and keep up the good work!
For those of you who have read the Mistborn novels I hope that you understand some of the images and symbols that I used for the wallpapers. For those of you who haven’t read the books yet, well read them and then you will understand.

Awsome work! as a digital artist myself I really appriciate the links to some of the source stuff, it helps me think of diffirent ways to use images. Great job again!
Wow, this is great!
do you have a 1280×800 size? (i know, odd screen res, i can never find wallpapers for it)
thanks!
@ Sam
Thanks for the compliments. Glad I can help you out. Keep checking back as I will probably be adding some tutorials also.
@ nevered
I added 1280×800 to the sizes. Glad you like it.
Sorry to bother you, but can you make a 1280×1024 sized one? Some of us don’t have fancy widescreen monitors! By the way, I’m loving the iPod one! It’s on my iTouch right now.
@ Billy
Glad you liked it. I updated the post with a 1280 x 1024 wallpaper. Enjoy!
Thank you so much!
wow, im not a digital artist by any means, but this looks fantastic!! i havent read the mistborn series yet, but plan on it before i read Sanderson’s A Memory of Light. i would to see you try some wheel of time stuff, cause i can actually understand the symbology. i want this as a background, but i want to read mistborn and understand what it is i have staring back at me every time get on my computer. but awesome stuff by any rate
ooh, thanks for the 1280×800!
Hey now i like this one its very nice
.
I saw your tutorial of the tree on psdtuts.com, you used some great techniques although the outcome isnt that tight, however ive seen worse. Your other work looks great so i take back all my negative thoughts about you as a designer!
