That last one, I don’t really like the way your name is done, but I think the layout of the title is nice! I like how it flows with the picture. Maybe if you put your name in the font it is on the 4th version of your cover?

@ellette-giselle @stephie

Yes, I did know Ellette was joking.

(The problem with these forum chats is it can be hard to portray emotion. Prehapes I should use more emojis or something.)

You’re so mean.

I don’t draw dogs, or anything in the dog family if I can help it. It never looks right. – Ellette

 

 

Sorry, can’t help you there XD

I suck…

@keilah-h

also vandegrit isn’t a bad name for a creature, even if you do end up changing it. How do you come up with these names?

Sure, I’ll share with you my fantasy name tips. I’ve come up with a few over the years.

For Kentor things, I take a word that somehow represents the character or item and translate it into Latin. But Latin is boring b…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Of the covers you provided, I like version 4 the best. It feels the most balanced and official to me. I like the font and the chosen colour for your name. I’m not sold on the outline you have on the font on the bottom, but not entirly against it either. I understand why you are doing it: so that we can see the words,

Did you…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle, @stephie

I don’t know why, but this whole time I have really, really wanted one of the characters to give Stripe a hug. Like one of the little kids. It would be so cute, especially because he does not seem lie a hugs person, yet his protector side wouldn’t let him hurt a little kid. lol.  – Ellette

Now that I’ve read ellett…

@keilah-h

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…

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