@ellette-giselle I echo Linus’s statement–this was a great way to re-introduce Adrian to the narrative!

@power I had a song on in the background that started epic then turned really goofy as I read your little poem and it was perfect for it lolllll

thing is, it was by complete coincidence.

@freed_and_redeemed oooh nice scene!!

@jonas @loopylin @hybridlore @ellette-giselle @rar @grcr @raxforge

Marcel — Elderstrand (w/Ellis, Fel, Sara, Leon, Julian, Baron, Marcellus, Ben Gunn, Flare) This name list is so long. XD

“I’m Marcel.” He held Leon’s hand firmly. His speech was quieter and more gutteral than the other’s, and he made a conscious effort to raise it over the…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle no it’s not bad, I just haven’t read it yet. Lol

@jonas @loopylin @hybridlore @ellette-giselle @grcr @rae @raxforge is that everyone?

Marcel — Elderstrand (w/Ellis, Fel, Sara)

Before answering, Marcel glanced at Ellis, who still watched the road. The sword-wielding young man gave a nod. The soldiers had passed them.

“We came from outside the city,” Marcel called. “The soldiers think we’re…[Read more]

@grcr very cool!

also I agree with whalekeeper that the lower half of the body is a nightmare. I can’t draw the standard 8-head body length; all my characters end up six or so heads in proportional height because any time I try to draw legs as long as everyone says to, it always makes them look way too skinny and stretched.

Maybe that’s…[Read more]

@whalekeeper @hybridlore wherever you decide to move this discussion, can you tag me too? I’m having fun learning about this.

@whaley wow I would watch a TV show or read a multi-part comic about those numbers as you think of them, that’s super cool.

@grcr

Haha, Marcellus can meet my Marcellus!! 😂😂

@hybridlore @jonas @ellette-giselle

I set up our group so we are in an alley, within eyesight of the bigger group. 👍

@jonas @whalekeeper @loopylin @grcr @elette-giselle @the_lost-journal

Soooo…. are we combining our groups, or staying separate? I’m not really sure what’s going on. If so, who’s joining ours (Sara, Marcel, Ellis, & Felicity)?

@grcr

I like it! You really aced the lower half of his body; feet are so hard and you drew them quite well.

@hybridlore

If you want to talk about this more, we should move the conversation so it isn’t spamming this topic. 😅

@hybridlore

Do words really change color for you when you read them, or do you read it in black ink but see it in your head as colored?

Acchhh this is extremely difficult. I believe my grapheme-color is somewhere in between association and projection. I was never confused as a child about how the letters were made with multiple colors, I knew they…[Read more]

@rae @raxforge @ellette-giselle

Our characters are right next to yours, see below.

@jonas @hybridlore @loopylin

Marcel — Elderstrand (w/Ellis, Fel, Sara)

The four travellers tried to look inconspicuous in the dark. Their soaked clothes mostly blended in with the background. Marcel noticed Felicity’s bright hair, and motioned for her to shove…[Read more]

@theducktator

Oh, yes, I love that song!! <33

@linus-smallprint ooof Ender’s Game.

Good example for a dystopian writer, horribly graphic writing (and also the occasional curse words? I remember there being Marvel-level cursing but not much worse).

Luckily I’m not the kind who’s perturbed by violence in writing. Watching it would be a different story, but reading that kind of thing really…[Read more]

You’re not wantonly throwing bloody battle scenes in. You’re writing a realistic impression of a story.

Remember the missionaries to that one South American tribe that were brutally murdered, but the survivors came back to that tribe to continue the mission? Stories like that are what your writing reminds me of. This sounds really weird, but…[Read more]

do the songs have to be lyrical or can some of them be instrumentals?

@ellette-giselle Believe me, these stories are marketed for 8-year-olds:

• Wings of Fire (dragon series I read once with a good deal of violence. One character’s death is so graphic the writer didn’t even describe it, although that was in a side story that I didn’t read though cause it didn’t grab me.)
• Warrior cats series (LOTS of war and…
