Frillbloom! As with shalebark, frillbloom is a family of plants rather than a specific type. Here is how I imagine a few different varieties, in both open and closed form.
I sat down to work on the “Sh is for Shalebark” page and got the basic layout and text done. Then I started contemplating which kind of shalebark I wanted to draw. I’m bad at decisions, so you get this instead... If you want to know more about Shalebark, the Coppermind page is good :-)
All hearts that are gems do not glitter, Not all those with blackbane are lost; Slaves that are old do not wither, Rockbuds by the storm are not crushed. From the crem a fire shall be woken, From the chasms a new hope shall spring; Renewed shall be Oaths that were broken, Tanavast again shall be King.
Last night, taisharnumenore, Leinton and I reworked this J.R.R.Tolkien poem for the Stormlight Archive. taisharnumenore posted it with the Bridge 4 patch, but this is the scene we really wanted to illustrate it with :-) (I also tweaked it slightly so the 4th line doesn't completely break the rhyme scheme..)
