HAHA!!! I love that quote so much.

Lol. Yeah, I get told it’s a lot.

Just a heads up, for anyone who has not read previous warnings….. the series takes a rather dark turn from here, because of the culture my characters are stepping into. I’m not going to have darkness to be dark, violence to be violent, etc. But darkness an…[Read more]

The people who walked in darkness
have seen a great light;
those who dwelt in a land of shadows,
on them has light shone.

Last I counted I was at 69 full length novel drafts.

Yeah, I do four drafts, then share, then do more.

It’s how I write so fast. Most people I know do the steps of draft 1-4 while they are writing, which tends to slow them down and cause them to lose interest.

@linus-smallprint

Oh this is really cool!

You should try it with the cover!

@linus-smallprint

However, one this is one thing I know of that does help me. I find that something that motivates me is having people share it with me and give me some thoughts right away.

My first draft, as it is, is very undecipherable. However I am comfortable sharing things with my little sister and I’ll keep this in mind.

 Keep in mind…

@linus-smallprint Looks good!! You can definitely scan a drawing in, although you may want to do some research to make sure it translates smoothly to digital.

@linus-smallprint Awesome cover! And Ellette is right–most drawing programs I know allow you to add a picture to your canvas and trace over it. I’ve done it lots of times.

@linus-smallprint

I do like your art style. Is this a character from one of your WIPs?

Thanks!

Not yet, but I would love to turn it into a story. Maybe some sort of dark fairytale/ redwall kind of thing. I’ve been thinking about it a lot. No solid ideas, though.

@linus-smallprint

Hmm. Okay. I think I can try to throw in one of Joseph before the Sabina one. I really like the feel it has.

Yes. Lol. This is Joseph as a child.

Hmm, Okay. I’ll try to finish it up today, and I’ll sketch out the other options as well so that you can have a look.

@linus-smallprint

Thanks!

Um… I’m not sure. I had in my notes that I needed a drawing with Joseph comforting Eric, but now I have to look through the book and actually find said scene. XD

Two questions:

Do you think the one with Sabina at the grave could be worked in as her memory/recap when she’s in the bedroom, or does it seem out of…[Read more]

Here is my expertly made pronunciation guide:

That is the BEST pronunciation guide I’ve ever seen! lol

@loopylin

oh, i like it!

@linus-smallprint @ellette-giselle Thanks! I was trying to show how weird it was that the green that I was using was actually orange on the color wheel, lol

I haven’t finished the background yet. And yes, it’s a sheep in wolf’s clothing :]

@linus-smallprint

I LOVE that cover idea!!!!!

I wonder if you can scan that in and then go over it digitally. I bet you could.

@loopylin

Oh that;s awesome!

@linus-smallprint

oh my goodness.

That is so funny!!!!

@linus-smallprint

They might. In book 2, some characters will be travelling and will have to hunt for some food. Since deer is off the menu, hares, or other rabbit-like animals, will be a source of food to them.

Ahh, makes sense. Scratch the rabbit idea then.

(This is why we can be glad there are no human-animal hybrids in the real world)

lol yeah…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

*Immediate and instant cringe*

I hate sharing unfinished drawings. *sob*

I have a few more ideas for the Joseph in bed one. In fact, I started the face and arms of the next one, but that’s about it. I am also going to attempt the temple. And I have a Beric standing one in mind….. and one of the boys playing. Not sure if…[Read more]
