By “kid” he’s obviously more of a teen, lol.

I actually have a similar drawing I could use some critique on. It’s of Elrond as a kid. I intend to add Elros too. (I’m only a little bit of a LotR/Silmaril nerd, unless it concerns these two. I realized how many amazing twin brothers are in this family, and now I want to know their story, lol. And write a fanfic. Save their uncles… 🥹 The…[Read more]

@rae I like both pictures! The second one looks like he’s moving, which I think is neat. The only thing I’d like better about the other is that I do like the wind coming from behind him/how it pushes his hair forward and frames his face. I’m enjoying imagining them happening right after each other in a scene, like he turned around. 😀

True, true.

We’ve become proficient in anarchy. Says a lot about the quality of our group…. Not sure what, but it says a lot of it.

@mineralizedwritings

Yay! And the art turned out so well! Realistic and yet whimsical in a serious sort of way. Is it watercolor and ink?

@mineralizedwritings

Oh good! His character design is so cool. Hope it works out! Computers can be an adventure.

That’s amazing. It makes sense that it would work, and it’s so cool that it can. Like a shield from some sci-fi book. *Makes a note to look into it before I start my business Instagram account*

Really! I shall definitely try that.…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

I do understand that. He’s a great character, but different seasons of life call for different kinds of inspiration/expression. I’ve got a few like that. Have you worked more on Flit’s project? (I don’t think I spelled that right. The translucent bird boy. That was a project if yours, right? )

That is a valid reason not to…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

I’m enjoying thinking of him growing up. It’s a little bittersweet.

Welcome! And if you do want to share some of your more recent style I’d love to see, whether it’s seeing old characters grow up or getting introduced to new ones. 🙂 Plus, seeing other’s styles develop is encouraging.

@rae

He looks good! His expression is so intense… Poor guy.

I wouldn’t worry about the earlobes. Asymmetry is a part of nature. Mine are uneven too! So it wasn’t a mistake, just accuracy. 😉

On further thought, I’ll put in Viktor’s reaction. Not intending to mess up the role play turns. 🫣

Viktor

Trash talk. Fun… Viktor grinned back at Marcel.

“Maybe. But if you manage that, we must deserve it.” He blinked in that completely not innocent way that would give away the sarcasm, mouth twitching…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

TAUREN!!! *indistinct squeals*

He looks older in this one, more grown up than how I’ve remembered him. I like it.

@loopylin

Sounds good to me!

@whalekeeper

Oh, fabulous question!

Let’s see.

In Heirs of Ashes Alyona was originally the MC, but I ended up changing the sibling’s age order and put Viktor in her place. Then he kinda became his own person. It’s funny reading back to some of those old RPs with him. I mentioned his scarring and trauma in almost every post because I had just…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Lol. Yeah, I can see that. Scratch PK and put in “military brat.” In the book cannon he’s a farm kid, but it’s an ancient world where everyone fights sometimes, and ballads are some of the only literature he has read. Reúven is even more military minded.

It would be funny to compare their different views of war, heroism, and military.

@savannah_grace2009

*hugs*

I’m so glad and sad at the same time. I don’t have any words. I’m sorry you’re going through this. You’re right though, joy isn’t the same as happiness. God is with us. His joy is our strength. <3

And I am literally looking into starting a business Instagram account. *stressed moan* Like I said,  we pick our poisons. (And we’ll see how far I can go without using personally identifying information.) It’s less about having a digital footprint, and more about having a clean one. Rather not get my bank account hacked or anything. Ick. That’s a…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

Thank you for the info!

I am fine with that to an extent. I would prefer to minimize the amount of accounts I am attached to at all as standard footprint shrinking procedure. If I can use a fake account, I will try to do so. Technically, having a Gmail account is unsecure too, and buying stuff online is just as dangerous as…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

Turning out ok. I’m taking a little bit because I want to make sure it will work with a VPN. (I’ll have to use one near-constantly for an extended while starting next month.) I don’t want to ghost ya’ll. (worse than I just did… Oof.) I’m planning to get the VPN software tomorrow when Cyber Monday helps my wallet fit one.…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I don’t know. XD I’m not sure to be diverted or concerned by that comparison.

Viktor is an introvert that still loves being around people. He’s an anomaly. He wants to help everyone but has serious doubts about what he wants to be when he grows up. Doesn’t feel like he fits anywhere. Typical young teen/PK problems to be honest,…[Read more]

@loopylin @whakekeeper … and @theducktator ?

Oh LOvEly! This will be madness… *Starts researching Dodgeball rules because I really don’t know much. Lol.*

If it’s the whole age group, then Reúven is here somewhere. That’ll be fun. Hehe. Y’all choose teams for your charries.

Viktor

He wished he’d gotten sick on the way here. Then he’d be…[Read more]
