This one shows him a little better, but not by too much.

his wings and tail are super hard to see here but ehhh

Same kinda vibe:

Scene doesn’t exactly have to be like this but here’s my brother’s current lock screen:

@theducktator

It’s not that I don’t like Kaladin, it’s just that sometimes he annoys me.

Ah, ok. That’s actually a good idea, I only read the rest of the series last year but I forgot a lot of stuff already lol.

Which book is your favorite?

@rae lolll yes Soldier is definitely involved.

I’d love to see it! Bad drawing or not. I’m terrible at scenes too, don’t worry.

It was actually supposed to be the scene of them fighting the giant bread monster but just doing Soldier teleporting bread will be funny!

I’ll post some pics of him so you can have references.

@theducktator

Eh, I kinda might agree with your brother 🫣 not completely, but I think he has a point. While I think Kaladin does have some good development at some points in the series, a lot of the time I feel he’s just a bit too extreme.

Sorry.

Have you read Wind and Truth  yet? (if you have no spoilers cuz I’m only on day five)

I’ll have to get to that tomorrow or something.

Oh yeah, and the basics of a civilization?

Donuts and swords.

No, seriously. Virtually every culture, even the most basic ones, makes some kind of killing implement—sword, or spear, or similar—out of metal or animal teeth or obsidian or whatever they have. And they also learn how to make bread, often fried bread (hence the donuts)

Cool, I will love to hear your thoughts then!

@stephie

I’ve also tried writing textbooks.

This. Writing the information in textbook form is my favorite way to format it.

-There’s a reason Tech has stayed my profile pic for so long. I don’t quite know what “kin” means (hoping it’s not something bad lol) but it seemed like it meant “character that’s basically you” so…..

-I’ve realized that no matter what fandom it is, the mark that I’m REALLY obsessed with it is when I combine it with How To Train Your Dragon som…[Read more]

Oh yeah and I’m not sure why I never posted this:

Welp, no it didn’t. (cue fail sound effect)

@the_lost-journal wanna see my drawing process on how I do my comic over-drawings?

Hopefully this’ll work:

@mineralizedwritings It’s taking a bit longer than I thought to get all the reference images for my characters, but I will get them to you soon!

@raxforge yep!

oh and haha that meme. Did the seasoning company literally copy the environmentalist ad or is it just edited?

@raxforge oooooh…..worldbuilding. i love worldbuilding.

Except I just kinda throw together what works. Half the time it doesn’t leave my brain until I write it in the story, or tell someone it for context purposes.

Also, since I write fanfics which often change the source material in some way, I extrapolate from what already exists. The…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

I’ll get back to you on that. I don’t have too much time right now, and I want some time to type up all my thoughts. It’ll probably be Monday morning, because I don’t generally use my computer on Sundays.

I also use Google docs and fill out the whole thing with general information, such as flora and fauna, science, tech, etc. History is by far the longest section.

Does anyone have advice for outlining magic systems? I’m looking at you, @jonas . Or really anyone. I would like to be more organized with it, but I’ve never known where to start.

I have a huge collection of Google Docs for worldbuilding information. I use lots of tables and headings and sub-headings to keep things organized.

I don’t really have a specific method of coming up with information. Usually I come up with a core idea and build out from there, filling in my standard information fields.
