Congratulations on the full-time jo1 Hope it works out well. Adulting is not totally awful.

I understand about the website. I liked many of the ideas behind the structure, and am glad they are documented at least. It would have been a huge load to haul though.

And like the others said, enough of us have made contact outside of…[Read more]

honestly, enough of us have each other’s contacts that if worst came to worst and KP did crash, we could reconnect and figure something out from there.

Congrats on the job!

It’s okay, we’ll figure something out! Thank you for the help and the ideas!

Not that you want this clarified again. But yeah, what Ellette and Koshka said. He had an illness at twelve that, combined with other slightly more fantastical stuff, stole his sight. It makes for an interesting character to draw. Glad you like him!

(Responding for my double)

Yup! He’s blind. Glad you noticed. He’s got a magically caused ailment based off of a real cause of blindness.

Like the wolf. I’ve seen some people dip watercolor pencils in water as they work to get the pigment to be smooth and even on the paper or something? Haven’t tried them…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint lol yes, for sure.

fun fact: my family went to New Hampshire/Maine in December as a Christmas trip, and we saw geese. We kept a good distance away from them.

Sorry. I thought I did. Let me try again.

The elf is blind, that’s why his eyes are bright. (unless this was before he went blind, @elishavet-pidyon ?)

Yeah, I’ve done a little with them but tend to find pencil is my favorite. They can be cool though!

That drawing looks very good. A bit of a different style that what I’ve seen you use. It flows well together

Aw t…[Read more]

I get that. Watercolor pencils have a certain tone that you just can’t get with normal ones, brushed or not.

@linus-smallprint I have no idea if you’re on the chat forum much but I saw this and thought of your creatures lol

@linus-smallprint I have no idea if you’re on the chat forum much but I saw this and thought of your creatures lol

Oh my word! I love it!! And keep that hair style. It really goes with what we were talking about. Elves having long hair as a distinction and all. Somehow it still gives that feel, even though it’s short. I really like it and if you change it I shall be mad. lol

@linus-smallprint

Oh nice!! Watercolor pencils? Are you going…[Read more]

The wolf looks good!

New pencils? That’s awesome! The color saturation is great in your drawing. Vivid, but still soft and storybookish in his fur detailing and the trees. Anyway, it looks good.

About to request access. =)

Oooooo

I likes z woof

also the feather signature thing is so cool. I tried to do that once but lost patience.

Can’t wait to read your book’s next draft. I just sent a message.

Hooray, you’re back!!! I’ll look at this sometime later this week. I’m sick right now.

Proton (for cool people who like secure file sharing platforms)

lol, love that.

Hey! Glad you’re back. I’ll see if I have time to help with this. My life is crazy right now.

I’m not doing a lot of posting books on KP anymore, but beta readers are always welcome.

I’m always ready to be tagged for illustrations, and like I said, I’ll do my best to keep up with this.

Wow, that’s crazy. But I like that as an idea to go off of. I probably won’t make it too drastic just bc I don’t want to take the story that direction, but that does spark some ideas.

Thank you!

@koshka

You can do this! It’s worth it. (plus, hey, we’re all in this thing too…writer’s are crazy)

Aww, thanks girl!!

I’ve…[Read more]

Family friend, but yes. Dad knew him while he was in the military.

Thanks! It was really fun to experiment with.

@grcr

They look great! That’s an impressive project. I hope it turns out well!

Yep!

I suppose we could. I’m preoccupied today and tomorrow at least, but anyone can do it.

Yup. Some people who attend my church fell into the Occult before they became Christians, and they blame it on Narnia.

Oh! Well. All the more to my point. There are book series that I, also, try not to reference in front of others too often because it makes them uncomfortable.

@linus-smallprint

Does your sister have an account now? If she doesn’t – potentially try requesting again?

600+? That’s… a lot of characters… You’ve got a lot of patience.

lol yeah… 😅 it never feels like that many though, when I sort them into the friend groups and families they belong in.

How long did it take you to do just those 28?

Ignoring my week-long moments of procrastination… about two days or so. I frequently forgot abo…[Read more]

In the third draft of my novel, my FMC’s arc includes her making some bad decisions and going down a path she regrets. But in the midst of the aftermath of those decisions, she is actually kind of enjoy…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint I love your style, it’s so cool. I don’t know if there are Narnia graphic novels, but I’d totally read one drawn like that. Your characters’ eyes are very expressive.

AH! Don’t touch it! Okay….. maybe a little, but leave the eyes and expression and hair. It’s perfect!!!

@mineralizedwritings

WOW!!! Love that! The shadowing was really well done.

The only way I could imagine getting this kind of wind is if you were standing on the edge of a cliff or had a fan below you. Or maybe in a crazy windstorm.…

OH MY GOODNESS!!!!! It looks awesome!!!!! I love it!!!!

Now, to those who have read my fanfic, it does have identical species names to them, but know that the Argonites, Salamandrion,…[Read more]

Thank you for the info!

I am fine with that to an extent. I would prefer to minimize the amount of accounts I am attached to at all as standard footprint shrinking procedure. If I can use a fake account, I will try to do so. Technically, having a Gmail account is unsecure too, and buying stuff online is just as dangerous as…[Read more]

Turning out ok. I’m taking a little bit because I want to make sure it will work with a VPN. (I’ll have to use one near-constantly for an extended while starting next month.) I don’t want to ghost ya’ll. (worse than I just did… Oof.) I’m planning to get the VPN software tomorrow when Cyber Monday helps my wallet fit one.…[Read more]

Yes I did! Which is a great idea btw.

It’s also really exciting to see how many people are wanting to join KP! I wish there was a way we could get access into the system to let them all in. 😭 I have been following along on this convo though, so I don’t miss anything.

I’m on the fence about how involved I want to be in this…[Read more]

That’s really encouraging! I can’t wait to meet all the new people. I’m not sure if we can include them before the website is up, since we had so much disagreement before about other forms of communicating.

Ok, sorry to add to the confusion, as I did not get Notion figured out yesterday. I will try again today. Mostly it’s getting the free time to sit and open stuff up.

Éva’s story is definitely an impetus. I hope we can open Kingdom Pen back up for others, even if it’s by proxy/substitute by making this other website.

I am a…[Read more]

I know, there are a tone of people that I’m actually in contact with who are trying to join kp. We do need to get a new site up I think.

Sorry, I forgot too. Just surviving Midterms over here. I’ll look into it…

ooo, ugh. That always makes my back hurt. (lying down and drawing) My favorite is sitting with the clipboard on my lap, or sitting on the floor and putting it on a low coffee table or bin. I don’t like doing it at the desk or table.

uh, I think I’m on. I just got 43 invites to join teams………

I signed in. with my work email. Do you have that?

okay, let me try it.

It’s 50/50 if I get notifs. Today they are working.

is it something I have top download, because my laptop tends to crash and burn when I try to download apps.

Hostinger.

Have what set up? Wait… I thought we were doing this over email.

Okay! I see you added Canada and the UK to your shipping list

wait what? I didn’t add those……. odd.

It would be useful to users if it said something like ‘for shipping in any region we don’t have listed, please contact us’ directly under the dropdown select for country. I don’t see this anywhere in the checkout, and som…

How do we want to treat this website in relationship to the original KP community?

Everything you said in response to this was really well put, thank you. I feel resolved about the subject now, I think. I plan on being active on both websites anyway.

Have any of you used Notion?

Just downloaded it and it seems like a helpful app.…[Read more]

Watching the presentation finally! I just paused it after you finished the prototype tour.

I like it so far. The projects and the construction of the forum comments look well thought out and quite convenient to use. I’ve got two thoughts/suggestions.
