Melissa

“I’m exploring!” Mel smiled and put a hand on her hip, trying to look even more confident. Her stick dropped again.

“Did you get stuck here? I’ve helped people get unstuck out of hidden places before. My babysitter got stuck under a pool one time, but I found her and helped her out. You could probably consider me an expert.…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon

I’ll keep working at it then 👍

(Haha, that’s how it is sometimes. Especially when you have a project you don’t have the bandwidth to pick up for large amounts of time.)

@loopylin

Barnes

Mel didn’t shiver from the cold at all, and her coat wasn’t wet; she bit her lip and studied the garden as if she owned the place herself.

“No. I’m trying to get out of here, actually.” Barnes adjusted her mask by grabbing the chin and pushing up. “Do you mind telling me why you’re here?”

Guys, my story snippet got chosen for critique for Crazy Editing Week out of a thousand people!! I’m very happy.

@whalekeeper

Melissa 

Barnes. That was a funny name. Mel imagined a row of big red barns, each with a different kind of farm animal living inside.

“I’m Mel.”

She scanned the rest of the area with her flashlight.

“Do you live here?” It now occurred to her that she may be trespassing, and she didn’t want to get in trouble.

@whalekeeper

You can do it! I would love to see it when it’s done, if you want to share, and if that helps give motive.

(But I totally get what you mean. I have a drawing I’ve been slowly working on, off and on, for about a year. All I have left are her feet and half her hair, but it’s still sitting on my desk, unfinished.)

@rae

Girl! That is so beautiful. I love it. The colors make a lot of sense. The moon is lovely, as are the leaves and his expression, in my opinion. I feel like I can really envision him now. My mental image has been edited. 😀 Thank you for sharing!

@rae

Yep I meant the wall to be more normal on his side, I should have clarified.

@loopylin

Barnes

“I’m Barnes. What’s your name?”

@rae

AH, I love the glowing effect!!

Your stylization has gotten a lot more confident and you’re so patient with the coloring! The color choices are also very nice and complement each other. You may say otherwise but I say this is a rousing success. *Stamp of approval*

@whalekeeper

Melissa

Mel turned and pointed at the path she had just come from, accidentally dropping her stick as she did so. She crouched down to pick it up again.

@loopylin

Barnes

The light hurt Barnes’ eyes. Once she figured out it came from a little girl and not a monster, she rubbed her eye with a hand under the mask. “I… don’t think so. I should hope not.”

The girl had messy hair and a coat with many pockets. She held a stick in her arm. Her gaze twinkled with both curiosity and suspicion.

“Where…[Read more]

I hope this is coherent. i am very tired.

@whalekeeper 

Melissa

After walking for a bit, Mel found herself a good stick to be her companion, as one should always have on a long walk. It was tall enough to be a walking stick, but still light enough to be a pretend sword. When she tested out her fencing skills on one of the leafy walls, she was…[Read more]

@loopylin

Should I rp her finding Barnes? Is that what we’re doing?

Yep, that was my thought! I have to go to bed, but I’ll get back to this when I can.

I love the statues btw

We needed some aesthetic statues. :]

@whalekeeper

Yea, it’s old.

@keilah-h

I have no idea how to use models like that, so I can only imagine what it’s like to figure out the rigging and everything. Well done!!

@rae

I’m sure it’ll look great

@loopylin

I remember that doodle. Last time I saw it was at least a year ago.

@loopylin @rae @the_lost-journal

Just reread Mel’s scene to make sure everything is in order, and the garden shears crack me up.

Barnes

Everywhere Barnes turned, the maze refused to behave. When she stuck her hand in a wall – a last ditch effort to part the plants – a hidden rose bush got in the way.

The thorns stung, and Barnes could do n…[Read more]

Here’s a really old drawing of Mel if anyone wants to see. I haven’t drawn her in a while so her outfit is a bit outdated.
