@elfwing  you’re totally fine!  School recently started, so I’m kind if busy now 🙁  I’ll let you know when I’m ready!  I’m not sure I’ll be able to do a full read through, but I could read certain parts and give you tips on those 🙂

@scripter-of-kingdoms I love him!  Your work is just so clean.  Like the lineart and the coloring is very clean and precise.  What type of fineliners do you use?  I’ve thought about doing colored lineart, but I don’t think I’ve tried it out yet.  It looks really good!

@keilah-h thank you!

@lydia-s honestly same lol.  Thank you!  I love him too.  Redemption arcs are so good, plus I just couldn’t bear to have him suffer and then just get killed off.  I just shamelessly stole his bad guy name from a bird lol.  Shrikes are a really cool type of predatory songbird that hunt mice and other birds.  Idk how sensi…[Read more]

@lydia-s oh my goodness, I’m so sorry I took this long to get back to you!  My villain and protagonist are both retired/defected super soldiers in the city of Spire, a Cold War inspired fantasy setting.  Sasha, the villain, was made/engineered in a sort of arms race after his nations’ rival created their own super soldier.  He was a part of a da…[Read more]

@scripter-of-kingdoms  as you should be!  He’s adorable!  I really love the way you drew the glasses.  I’ve been struggling to draw gkasses that don’t completely overpower and distract from the face.  It never occured to me that I could just draw a part of them and kind of imply the rest 🙂

@scripter-of-kingdoms yeah, it was assigned reading for me in 7th grade.  It was extremely lazy and poorly written imo.  One of my clearest memories is of the teacher telling us how the “koi in the pond represent peace and the osprey taking the koi represent the peace getting stolen out of the main character’s life.”  It might have just been a th…[Read more]

@elfwing @devastate-lasting @scripter-of-kingdoms did any of you guys have to read tangerine in school?

@elfwing i could definitely help with that!  I love working with descriptions.

@elfwing alright!  I might be able to help with prose, but I’m not very good at plotting.  I might be able to critique small sections at a time, and just give you general writing advice 🙂

@elfwing ooh i see.  I personally don’t have that problem, but there might be someone else who does 🙂

It’s only if you want to.  I don’t want you to feel pressured or anything. It’s something that I’ve been considering recently, just for people in general.  I have to warn you, though, I might not be able to dedicate a lot of time because of sc…[Read more]

@elfwing  I don’t know if this is what you’re asking, but I would be up for being a beta reader if you need something critiqued, or just giving you advice 🙂

@lydia-s she sounds really intetesting!  I totally understand having your villain as your favorite character lol.  One of my favorites is a villain.  I just feel so sad for him 🙁

@scripter-of-kingdoms aww!  Your art style is so cute!  I love the way you shaded his hoody.  It’s really simple, but also very effective!  Who are your favorite kpop bands?  I haven’t gotten into kpop yet, but I hope to in the future 🙂

@mkfairygirl that sounds really cool!

@lydia-s she looks really sweet 🙂  what’s she like?

@lydia-s i have never heard of the trimont trilogy.  I’ll have to look into it!  I actually didn’t know about historical fiction based on the Bible until I joined Kingdom Pen, either.  And I absolutely understand having a difficult time summarizing a fantasy wip lol.  They tend to be very complicated as well as difficult to explain.  All of your…[Read more]

@elfwing sounds good!  I would love to hear more 🙂

@keilah-h i think you’re on to something there.  I think that arrofant characters are much more hateable than humble characters.  I think it all depends, though.  I’ve come across characters that have pride as their major character flaw and downfall who I’ve really liked (looking at you, Fëanor).  Oikawa on the other hand…I could rant about this…[Read more]

@scripter-of-kingdoms i can’t wait to see it!
