I’ll do Kirie this time :>
@dekreel A realist artist
@catwing A tree or a couch? She would love to be a tree.. just breathe, grow, observe silently, peacefully. But no, she would go for the couch as it would help others rest some.
@perfectfifths Kirie would rather learn a musical instrument 😉

itisastarrynight replied to the topic Alternatives to flashbacks? in the forum Plotting 6 years, 10 months ago
I just realized another thing. I don’t like when flashbacks are used as plot devices to dump the reader info. But I enjoy seeing the flashback if I was already told the information. Sure, it seems like a waste of time to show if if ya already know it, but I think it can add a little bit of depth that way. Because the character has a flashback b…[Read more]

itisastarrynight replied to the topic Alternatives to flashbacks? in the forum Plotting 6 years, 10 months ago
@waterlily Showing them in a “murkier” way might definitely help! I didn’t even think about changing the feel of it by taking advantage of the visual medium I’ll be using.
@livgiordano I think it is a good idea to have them shorter.. It would feel more natural 🙂 Love to hear your opinions on it from someone who enjoys it. Also glad that most…[Read more] -
itisastarrynight replied to the topic Irrational or Rational? in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 10 months ago
@inkling-for-christ I would work on developing the internal conflict before handling any exterior threats or things that happen. *shrugs*
Who is the main antagonist? Why? How does it relate to your MC in a painfully personal way?
After all, a story is just about the protagonist and how he grows to defeat the antagonist. But that can mean more…[Read more] -

@jenwriter17 As others have said, 6 seems a tad bit cliche. But I hear legends of ways to fix it. Do the unexpected! *throws smoke bomb, leaving only a link to a KP article on cliche’s behind*
“Wait.. Why a smoke bomb? After reading the article, I could do better.”
*throws kitten bomb* Much better. Here’s a differant link to a differant KP article…[Read more] -

@sage-g I actually own a few copic caios, though Im not too handy with them(they’re amazing tho) . @notawriter thought you did use some alcohol based markers, but the colors were way too light and blended for my eyes to believe it.
@mariposa The facial anatomy looks amazing! -
itisastarrynight replied to the topic Created in His Image in the forum Mission, Calling & Ethics 6 years, 10 months ago
@rochellaine Yes I’m planning on illustrating it once the writing is finished. I couldn’t do it atm as I still have so much to learn before tackling it, but I thought it better to start with the writing of the story before mastering my art skills. I actually approached this project because I wanted to do something with my art. It’s like the…[Read more]

@sage-g In your drawing for claire, what materials did you use? Markers or watercolor? I can’t tell, but it looks good. How did you blend it so thoroughly?

itisastarrynight started the topic Alternatives to flashbacks? in the forum Plotting 6 years, 10 months ago
So, in my current project, the MC is highly influenced, and misses, his deceased sister, Janet.
(On a side note: is it natural to do this if hes already accepted it?)
So naturally I want to show you, the reader what things where like back then, their relationships, it is explaining current motives– etc.
My sisters and I dislike flashbacks as it f…[Read more] -

@supermonkey42 YES. I hate it when people act like logic is inherently evil. Well put 🙂
Also, @inkling-for-christ The scene you shared sounds cool 🙂 I would have never thought to make the opening scene start with characters other than the POV. It has an interesting feel to it. -

@livgordiano I’m so happy this is being addressed. I’ve wondered, too! Also, I’ve got nothing. Maybe.
The more I thought about it the more I began to let it go. But for me it was more about right/wrong than worth. Because I can make a character do good, but without God, s/he is nothing. I know this is a little differant and has a much simpler…[Read more] -

@rochellaine This thread is AMAZING. Where has it been all my life? Making names is so hard for me. All of these are so cool. If I end up using any, Ill let ya’ll know! Also, all the names people shared were awesome!

@aella Someone may have already said this, but honestly, I wouldn’t try to hard to help him understand at all.
That sounds wrong because you were asked to help, and you can. But writing is a little complicated, especially for someone who doesn’t even hardly care. Is it possible to read what he did and give him advice on what he should change? If n…[Read more] -

@seekjustice @rochellaine Thank you for the encouragement!❤Â ❤
I’m happy that it encouraged you! Also, I realize it may be even cooler now with the mermaids out. Less mainstream, right? I just have no idea how long this project will take me to finish seeing as I have no experience(and not to mention illustating it o:) , but the support feels ama…[Read more] -

@dekreel Manga is fine! I love that it’s in color. And the yellow background makes her hair pop so well! Thank you! I’ll be able to share yours soon.
