Wilhelm

“What kind of river?” Wilhelm asked absently as he pushed himself back to his feet. As delightful as a little chaos was for a small while, the disorder was already eating at his nerves.

He began pulling the mats back into place. Their smell intensified as with every slap against the stone floor. Herbaceous green was…[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)

If I describe a character as strange, I have to show why. :p

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.

Then, if you want to get rid of the images, select “text only” at the top. Change the names and genders of the characters to your characters’. You can also change the number of districts or characters in each district.

In fact, last time I was here was with the purpose of sharing a story I was working on last summer. The only problem was that I didn’t actually get around to writing that story last summer. I am here now because I am actually being disciplined and have started seriously writing i…[Read more]

If it doesn’t work just tell me and I’ll try to fix it.

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.

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]

Wilhelm

He looked back at Wolfgang. The boy’s eyes were so wide Wilhelm thought he could see his reflection.

“Ja. We’re friends.”

@koshka

Moth

“A lamp or two. Yes.” Moth hung from the window by a hand, then dropped on all fours to the floor. He settled down peacefully in the middle of the room, cross-legged. His body, so brightly colored, almost lit up the dingy room by itself.

“What is your mother like? Did she send you here?” he asked.

Wilhelm

He crouched on his heels and finally let his grin out.

“Thine ears perchance.” He handed Wolfgang’s sword back. “But it was a good fight. I’ve never seen a style like yours.”

I’m going to try to respond. I have 3-5 hours left on this day’s work. My brain is pudding.

I have gone back and forth between options. Not sure which is better, but it’s about time it ended. Sword fights are usually resolved quickly. *dives into a martial arts lesson on sword disarming* *scrambles back breathless*

I think…[Read more]

Must write. Must write for Wilhelm

For Wilhelm!!!!

Wilhelm

“Ach!” Wilhelm twisted away from Wolfgang’s attack. The rapier stung his arm.

The fight was now almost over. Of course, it might have been over already if he had advanced on Wolfgang when the boy was down. That was the problem of a soft heart in battle.

Always a…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

I saw the art going around…and I wanted to join! Would any of you be interested in an art swap? I thought the drawing of Wolfgang was great! And that one Grcr did of Reinhard… *laughing* The digital art was stunning. Now, I am not an artist according to your guys’ levels, but I can…[Read more]

Hey people! I have not been on here for a very long time. But I did have a blast looking at all the art…

Anyway, Ellette is putting on a play w…[Read more]

I love this so much. Sorry I didn’t reply before now. Work has been insane. For a week. I’m typing this up on my lunch break.

I’m thinking of doing a Men of Iron move with Wilhelm’s battle reflexes… It would be a completely different approach than typical modern fencing based on getting points.

Wilhelm

His opponent was…[Read more]

That does make sense! I have talked with people I trust. Almost everytime, I have gotten a response indicating that they think it’s just me overthinking, and that I probably don’t have to take a break…Yet it didn’t really matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get the thought of taking a break to go away.

And I don’t…[Read more]

Great! Take as long as you want

Why am I more embarrassed when I provide a character description than when I post a drawing. This makes no sense. Let me know if you’d rather draw someone else!

Lucille Barnes

Lucille is around thirty years old, 6-ish ft. Noticeably athletic from strength-training, but not to an exaggerated degree. She grew up in the Outer…[Read more]

haha!!! I love it!! That is amazing!

Yayy!

It also makes me laugh because it so fits him.

I based the drawing on your roleplays and how I originally pictured him there. I’m glad it matches his personality!

See above! Anyone else interested?

Here is Wolfgang! I hope you find this to be a fun interpretation of him.

Eek! Lol.

Wilhelm

He had been on the verge of telling Wolfgang that he wouldn’t aim for his sword – Wilhelm’s target would always be his opponent, not a weapon – when the boy vanished.

That door had a rough time of it that night. Wolfgang’s reentry rattled the cups left on their table.

“En garde!” Cried the madcap creature as…[Read more]

I’m wondering who is going to win this….

Wilhelm

He was in the middle of fitting his sheild onto his left arm. He kept his gaze on his work, but his eyebrows were rising into his hair. They were more trouble to keep in order than either his sword or his shield.

“Heavy weapons prepare us for pitched battle. Strength must be…[Read more]

Hehe.

By the way, his arming sword is a little under a yard long. His great sword is probably five feet, a precursor to the Zweihänder sword if he was in our world.

Wilhelm

“So instead you use flimsy weapons? I don’t see the wisdom of that. What about glaves and halberds? But nevermind. I’ve another trainer here somewhere.”…[Read more]

Lol. He might need to learn to notice details if he’s going to lead a rebellion.

Also don’t remember if they already talked about family. Maybe I need to keep better track of details.

I kind of spoke for Wolfgang, but I tried to write it so you could change his lines as you like.

Wilhelm

“Reinhard is…?” Wilhelm looked back…[Read more]

I’m amused that Wolfgang hasn’t connected the dots, especially considering Wilhelm’s 11th cent clothing, rooms, and culture. XD I know he thinks it’s impossible, but something should be tickling his subconscious by now.

Wilhelm

Either this boy was confused or Wilhelm was. Or perhaps both. The idea that knights were antiquated…[Read more]

They totally are!

Wilhelm

Wolfgang’s second swing was more controlled, although it still sent Wilhelm’s heart up in his throat. He forced his voice into a level calm.

“Ah. That’s better… It depends on the armor, but yes. There’s little use in a weapon that can’t reach your enemy.” Once more, he edged back to give Wolfgang…[Read more]

Aha! I finally got back on here.

Here’s the sketch of Cass.

There are lots of different options and I don’t know who to pick. Do you prefer drawing children, or older teens/adults? And do you prefer drawing realistic humans?

Fair warning. I began on Wolfgang twice, and I don’t like either attempt. I’ve been really tired this past week. So it won’t be done as soon as I’d like

Yeah it’s crazy. Luckily the AI can’t access everything, and what it can see is very jumbled up. I think it can only see our profile pages and some of the posts underneath. I tried asking it more detailed questions and it couldn’t answer them correctly.

@Ellette-giselle

[Read more]

Ahh! He’s epic. I’ve never imagined him wearing fancy/volumous clothes before. He looks quite royal in them. The freckles turned out cute. You got his facial structure very well! It’s been one of the hardest things to find for some reason.

Thank you for drawing him!

I do have a drawing of Cassion, but it was just an initial…[Read more]

also I totally agree on the best drawing of Baron, if the mockup cover was the one with the side view of him looking up at the wind or something like that.

Ahh. I love his response. Honestly, relatable.

Wilhelm

He laughed, ducking out of the way of Wolfgang’s stroke. A cord of terror was threading it’s way through his mind, taught with shimmering excitement. He slipped around to Wolfgang’s other, less dangerous side.

“This sword was made to shear through plate armor. Of course…[Read more]

LOLLLL “Lacks self-preservation skills” I wonder where it got that from…

“Though he is constantly stressed by trying to manage the reckless actions of the younger characters” is oddly accurate for Gabriel.

Poor Mel…

Also I’d be interested in a call! I’d just have to ask my parents first.

Wilhelm

His smile widened.

“Not like that. Put one hand here, and the other here. Like this.” He demonstrated, lifting the blade into a salute. It almost touched the ceiling. He held it out for Wolfgang to take. “It was my father’s sword. He won his spurs with it. Tis quite sharp and heavy, so be careful.”

Hehe

Wilhelm

“Well,” Wilhelm paused. He turned to look Wolfgang in the face. “Hopefully not. It’s likely that all this suspicion is unfounded. If so, then no. We will not actually kill people. But if the leaders of this school truly are planning fiendish conspiracy….”

He took down the sword he had stowed away by the…[Read more]

I think that’s what I said. XD

Wilhelm

No amount of Wolfgang’s excitement, although it lit every aspect of his face, could explain what a Luger was. Wilhelm hardly understood the term “gun.” He suspected it was the kind of thing you would have to see to understand. The weapon sounded like a small war engine or a bow. Wolfgang’s…[Read more]

Yay!

Wolfgang is a walking facepalm.

Wilhelm

“Really? What’s a Luger? One of your guns?” He waved his hands vaguely. He had a distinctive mistrust of Wolfgang’s skill with the weapon. Something about his repeated lack of practice was unnerving. It made the shiver from earlier return, only to settle into flutters in his stomach.

@ellette-giselle

Ok, let’s see….

Wilhelm

As curious as he was about the instrument Wolfgang had named, Wilhelm kept his mouth shut. The other boy had a strange look on his face. It was almost serious.

But then the silence would get too long.

“It sounds lovely. My mother plays the vielle, but I never could make it sing…[Read more]

This sounds dangerous.

@elishavet-pidyon

Certainly a sweeter boy than his half-brothers.

Seems like you’ve found a bunch of people to draw your characters, happy for you! I just finished that piece I was working on so I’m technically untethered. I still will probably do some works for myself right now, so this offer isn’t for now, but eventually I would like to do some pieces to replace some of the images for your…[Read more]

okay… uhm… here’s Reinhard…

hope you like it, hope I didn’t butcher him…. <3

ohmegoodness im shaking so hard…

giving art makes me so nervous… X’D

Sounds good.

I think I do, actually. Just a moment…

Yessssssss.

Wilhelm

“We will run into others everywhere, but we should be intentional about making and maintaining friendships.” That would mean being social. The thought withered Wilhelm’s enthusiasm, but he steeled himself against it. He was being social now. It never was the conversation that bothered him, just the numbers.…[Read more]

Hehehe.

Wilhelm

“The first rule: caution.” He so rounded the their two pieces with others. He really would need to teach some of the others how to play this game, but that would have to wait. “We do not know who is a friend or an ally. Naturally, we should be making good connections anyway, to help keep the politics between our…[Read more]
