what do you think?

— Inscription on the Tomb of Cyrus the Great (c. 530 BCE)

glad you like the crest, I wanted you to see it without posting the whole thing online. XD

Oh! I forgot about Peter being a mechanic. I’ll use that.

Great! I’ll see what I can do with lions and edelweiss for Francis.

Oooh. History is just so amazing. You could just get lost in it!

Nicklaus’s crest is beautiful! I may mix a few elements…we’ll see.

Peter’s father is the gardener, Peter is a chauffeur and mechanic.

lol, sour and haughty, but also good looking.

Yes, Rafe is Swiss. Hmmm, Francis is an only son of the Von Donnersmarck family, so i could give you a little history dump on them……

The House of Von Donnersmarck is an old Austro-German noble family that…[Read more]

Thank you! I’m not the best artist, but if I don’t freak out and stay calm, the drawings usually turn out satisfactory. I think God helps me too.

AHH! I’m so glad you like them! (I really like how they both turned out too) Oh my…now you’re on a rant. A Melvin horse? *chuckles* He would look sour for sure.

Yes, I’m planning to give the brothers the David Star. Well…Peter’s a gardener…right? Would that work? Rafe is Swiss, right? I could give him the Swiss flag. As…[Read more]

Oh awesome! I’m so glad you like her! It was both, and I couldn’t tell what was weighing in more, but maybe I just have an accurate mental picture!

btw, I don’t know if you remembered, but Konrad is the more spunky jokester of the twins and Johannas is the quieter thoughtful one.

OH MY WORD!! I love it! That is so them!!! Haha!!! I can totally see it! Now I’m going to make you do all the characters!! I would love to see what a Melvin horse would look like, or a Katerina!!! Or Rudi, oh and Nora of course! And Julius… and Natalie……..

I love them!!!!!

Well, Konrad and Johannas are Jewish, so you…[Read more]

By the way, how did you get the picture you drew for Whalekeeper so clean and white? Did you scan it?

Ellette: Here are Reinhard and Wolfgang! Did I draw them well?
I’m working on the whole league now. Just finished Peter yesterday, at least the pencil sketch. I’m planning to put symbols representing each character in the league picture. I thought of drawing the SS symbol for Reinhard, and of…[Read more]

hahahahah!

Have fun blowing stuff up and Let Freedom Ring!!

she’s not my favorite drawing I’ve ever done, but I hope you like her. I’m having a hard time changing the mental picture I already have of her from the school RP. XD

I’m going to finish it in just a few minutes if I can. I’m so sorry for the delay. I wasn’t able to get it done before I left out of town.

HAHA!

lololol

haha!!!

you and like five other people I know.

I’ll also be praying.

Wolfgang 

“Any river, I don’t care what river, I just want to drink it. Preferably a clean river. maybe one in the Alps. Well, come to think of it, a river might not be the best idea.”

“Wait. Did the curfew bell ring while we were sparring?” Wilhelm interuptted.

“I dunno,” Wolfgang replied. “Who cares if it did.”

Ari

“A what?” he yelled, eyes squeezed shut. Moth laughed.

“Me neither! It is a fun ride, is it not?”

Fun wasn’t the work he would have chosen, but it was certainly exciting, as long as he didn’t slip and die. Much like tying himself behind a dozen wild horses and hoping he didn’t end up dragged to a pulp.

Honestly, he might have…[Read more]

Hey, it’s not as weird as some of the things that have happened when our very different fantasy realms mix. (I don’t know either)

@koshka

Oh.

my.

Word.

what am i reading?

You don’t like worms?? Oh no!! XD I didn’t stop to think you might be squeamish.

Lol. XP

Ari

Breath in his throat, ears ringing. No time to think. He dove for Moth’s outstretched hand.

Not that he didn’t think. But with all the blood, slime, and darkness, this could easily get beyond what he’d ever want to think of aga…[Read more]

This is literally a childhood nightmare of mine. Wormmmmmssss…=|

I am quite content with whatever length you prefer to write. :]

Yay. XD

Ari

Ah. So this is what Moth had meant by squeamish. Wonderful.

Worms didn’t eat living creatures, did they? He watched the glistering beasts, hand on his dagger, eyes darkly livid. Daring one…[Read more]

Ari

Thunder rolling in the earth quivered up from his feet to his spine. The ground shook, cracked. Changed.

Ari swore–fervently. He had the sense that more devout people would have prayed. But considering they were all dead…

He swore again.

Ari

That was…oddly specific. And like nothing he’d heard of before.

If he didn’t already prefer having his eyes and tongue inside his head, being lost to his family was almost appealing. He shrugged.

“That sounds uncomfortable. So what are doing?”

Ari

His eyes narrowed, but in confusion not anger.

“Human?” He shook his head. Another word he didn’t quite know the meaning of. “Do you mean mortal, children of the cursed? Or just the dust born in general?”

And what did his creation heritage have to do…[Read more]

XD

Ari

Moth disappeared through the roof in a last swirl of gold and dust. Silence settled in the shadows.

He hadn’t realized how much the bright younger boy had chased those shadows away. At least for a little while. Ari turned his back on the darkened room.

Time to break curfew. Again. The stairs creaked under his feet as he…[Read more]

sounds good! I’ll do what I can before I leave out of town

Okay, deal! I’m excited too to see how they turn out.

No, you don’t have to follow the art style. Just try to capture the same general look.

cool!

If it helps, he does eventually figure things out and have a relatively happy life.

Ari

Squeamish? He hesitated a moment, considering what that was supposed to mean. He’d hunted and cleaned deer, helped in the stables, and patched up uncountable injuries of his own. He’d even helped burry a few of his father’s political enemies, as…[Read more]

huh, interesting. It loaded with actual hunger games cast. How do I change it?

Ari… Are you ok?

Eh….XD I’ll let you come to your own conclusions.

Ari

Collecting stories. He followed Moth’s gaze up to the hole in the roof. Here he was, sitting on another boy’s floor, talking about stories like they were something you could gather up in a box.

Maybe they were. Maybe you could.

“I suppose I wouldn’t mind. H…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Ari

Adventures…in his world those usually included being tied up or locked in a closet. Or that’s what his brother’s called it. He had a feeling that wasn’t the type Moth was thinking about.

He licked the honey off his fingers, considering. Not much light filtered through the small square in the roof. Not…[Read more]

*blink*

I don’t know what I just read but now I want to try it. Do you have the link!?

I’d do more if you did the whole league! I can’t wait to see Wolf and Reinhard in a scene as horses. XD

Righto! Do you want me to draw him to look just like this face-claim? (I was asking because the face-claim itself is an art style)

I understand! I’ll tag you onto the art so you can see what it’s like.

Sure thing! I’d love to do the brothers.

Haha…if I do the whole league, you’ll have to do more characters for me. *wink* Righto, though. I’ll jump onto it. It’ll be funny to hear what you think of them.

Okay, can you draw one of the MCs from my current wip? I have a reference photo for him that I’ll attach.

Here he…[Read more]

Ari

This fairie King liked asking questions.

“Well, I…” He paused. What was left? His half-brothers were good at everything that mattered–warriors, diplomats, judges– “Haven’t really thought about it. What do you like to do?”

Ari

Breaf and honey. His mouth curved up despite himself. He took the food.

“I don’t think so, or at least…”

At least, not compared to the legends of his dead cousins.

“… Not yet.”

His fingers burned at the remembered thrum of wood, sinew, and feather singing from shot and shot. He shoved a bite of bread into his mouth to…[Read more]

“Depends on how you define friends. There’s a fellow in archery that doesn’t seem to mind practicing with me.”

“People usually don’t stick around after our first meeting.” Although, he didn’t typically end up sitting on a student’s bedroom floor talking about family and friends. He studied the dust swirling around them.

How did he get here?

Wolfgang 

H grinned. “Good, I’m glad.” He let out a long breath. “I’m so thirsty! I could drink a river!”

@whalekeeper

Ari

His mother? He sat down and folded his arms across his drawn up knees.

This boy didn’t know about his family. His chin came up a fraction. There would be no misinformation or preconceived motions to combat.

“She’s a beautiful woman. Gracious, gentle hearted, a true queen. She’s a noblewoman by birth…[Read more]
