Please tell me you kept Stripe’s glasses (or at least have another bespectacled Kunulf in the story somewhere, if you didn’t) cause I love the look of it.

He was wearing these in Chapter the 18th. He only wears them for reading.

does that imply that a “vunny” exists? some animal, maybe?

Yes. This is a creature something like a rabbit.…[Read more]

@theducktator

Yup, that would be right. Joe Sutphin is one of my favourite artists and has heavily influenced my drawing style.

@ellette-giselle

Okay, thanks!

Think of the characters you are most anxious to have feedback on

@ellette-giselle

I’m making a list of the most important characters in this book. Would you say I missed anyone?

Aaron, Turin, Sabina, Noah, Darrien, Joseph

@ellette-giselle

Very nice! Now you’ll have to figure out how to play with this when you put your name and title on it. Seems you should be putting more stuff towards the bottom based on Aaron’s position. I might actually put your name at the top with this in a smaller font, and the book and series names at the bottom, with the book title in the…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Wow! That was faster than I was expecting. Let’s see it!

@ellette-giselle

The tunic is a vunny hug (It’s a bit of a cross between a tunic and a hoodie). Eric wears the same.

If you are wondering where the name Vunny Hug comes from, in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan, they call hoodies ‘Bunny Hugs’, so I just swapped the B for a V.

And here is Stripe:

This is his first draft design, which is a little different from his second draft design. Kunulfs were different in there and some had attributes of different races. For example, you may notice that Stripe has sheathed claws here, like a lion. No, I don’t want to talk about it. Trust me, the way Kunulfs are now is much…[Read more]

As predicted, I am still working on Chapter the 19th this week. In the mean time, I got some older artwork of Martha and Stripe to share with you. (I will do Stripe is a separate post). I will put these into my Google albums as well.

I relised I completely forgot to describe…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

 I’m sorry!I feel awful!

Ohm don’t worry about it. I’ll be fine.

@ellette-giselle

Okay. I will review this by weeding through this form then.

Why is it that you do not trust Reedsy? (Just asking in case it was something I overlooked.)

@ellette-giselle

Yup, you can delete Reedsy links and even add expiry dates to them! It is free as well. I recommend you read through their terms and conditions first though, just to double-check that they do not claim any rights to the books you put on there. (Something I’ve been meaning to do myself.)

@ellette-giselle

I kinda don’t mind that you know all of that from that little end part. But would you as a reader rather not know it?

If you don’t mind, leave it. Depending on when you publish it, you can go back and change this later.

AWESOME!! You’ll have to introduce her to me when/if she does. That has to be soooo fun having a sibling who als…

@freed_and_redeemed

Also, I probably will not be participating in this challenge again. I’m too busy with other things.

@mineralizedwritings @freed_and_redeemed

Yes, the idea is to do a character no one has seen before. Not just to avoid giving an unfair advantage to some contestants. This challenge is also an experiment to see how people imagine your characters without seeing any illustrations of them and is meant to help you improve how you describe character’s…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Woah. Lotsa questions. (I completely understand though. Your gonna get lotsa questions whin I finish my current draft of The Cost)

Is that a bad thing? Do you feel like it spoils too much? What can you tell me is definitely going to happen from that scene. (Just so I can gage how much it actually does give away) 

Darrien is…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Can you create a link to share it?

@ellette-giselle

Um, because I like it. Is it bad? I can cut it. I just felt like it was a nicer ending the Sabina crying, plus I have a seven year jump ending in the next one, and a several year jump in the last one.

Well, it just gives away some of what will happen to the characters. That’s all.

As for the cover, I’m not sure what you are using…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

But, Sabina is in no place to be reading at the moment. So, this letter actually wouldn’t show up until the second book when Sabina gets a POV in the very beginning. Do you think it would be better to shift it to book two. It would be Aaron’s last letter, and it would be unread. So, the reader would know he wrote it, but never kno…
