ooh, this is a cool idea. Tough question, too, so let’s see if I can explain my view on it.

In truth, I think all you really need to do is look at the Bible–specifically, the Old Testament. Many books in the Old Testament deal with false gods, idolatry, etc, but all for the purpose of showing the tension between God’s chosen people, the…[Read more]

@warrenluther04 Sure! Do you have certain things you like to draw? People? Animals? Chibis? If you want you can post some of your artwork too. I’m going to too, once I figure out a few technical problems….

Currently reading my history book

Hey Jackson,

Off the top of my head, I can’t think of a movie in which something along those lines occurs, so I’m not sure if it’s cliche, exactly, nor am I sure that it’s at all practical–although, I don’t know what you’re writing this for, or the world it takes place in, so that’s not for me to say.

Short answer…no, in my opinion, it’s not cliche.

@rochellaine I actually really this style of writing! That casualness of it…. I also agree with what Dekreel said.

Could I critique it in Goggle docs too?

‘ello @livgiordano did you get this all figured out?

Hey @skredder! Sounds like an intriguing idea you’ve got here! I’d tell you to go for it, but it looks like you’ve already got all the help you’ll need. 😉

@mariposa Yeeees, EPIC! You MUST watch the Star Wars movies!!!!!! If you don’t want to watch them all, watch at least the last three maybe. But the story might make more sense if you watch all the older ones too because there’s a lot of set up and backstory and stuff. Your mind will be blown!

@skredder yeah it’s nice to have family you can trust to kinda critique our work ❤

@gh24682468999 Oooooooh, that makes tagging you easier ☺

Sorry those picture places didn’t work for you…

@dekreel Those are good! I really like the girl

@perfectfifths Your drawing looks really good too! And a bow and arrow in anything gets my stamp of approval 😉

@mariposa I love the Aberdeen comics though!!!

@dragon-snapper I kind of like Evelyn, but I think I’m gonna go with something shorter

@jane-maree Yup, I’ll have to flip open those baby names books!

lol, thank you both for sharing your advice! @dekreel @mnvalentine

It’s Monday, and that means the weekly fun email is very close! If you haven’t already, drop your words of wisdom here and get a chance to be in the newsletter! 😉

@dekreel Yay! Yeah proportions are a struggle for me. when i look back at some of my drawings, i laugh and cringe at the same time.

hmm…..you want to see some manga, you say……don’t expect too much. I’ll try to post a picture or two soon. I took pictures of my drawings on my tablet, but for some reason moving pics from there to my laptop…[Read more]

@itisastarrynight Well, of course you don’t wanna info dump, but try to weave in parts throughout the story. Maybe just hint at what happened to your MC’s past that’s making him hurt.

I think it’s realistic to be affected like this after someone close to you has died. You never forget them. They visit your thoughts still every so often. Accepting…[Read more]

@dekreel I haven’t really tried manga before.  The one time I tried it, he kind of looked like a Roman monkey….

I like mine to be the most necessary lines and nothing more. Like this:

I drew that for the Leumeister a while back.

@livgiordano Here’s the link! I hope this will answer some questions for you. I’m sorry it took me so long to get it to you…

I hope the link works. Lemme know if it doesn’t.

@Seekjustice

I’m happy saying that I live in Australia, rural NSW because there is a lot of rural NSW so the chances of anyone tracking me down is quite slim.

Oh my word. XD True though. No one is going to scour all of rural NSW for you. XP
