AHHHHHH!

*Throws confetti and glitter everywhere*

Congratulations! Two books in two years? That’s so exciting.

Aww, you’re welcome, and I’ve loved getting to “meet” you here in the kingdom. Say hi to Leon and Riker for me.

Btw, my sister and I were playing with a random scene that had several of our character’s reactions…[Read more]

HEY Y’ALL! 

I shared a doc on the third page that’s a continuation my sister and I wrote of the epilogue. We do not mind sharing it with y’all, but as it is possible to see the different emails connected to it once acces is granted, I’m asking if y’all would please tag us in this thread when you send us a request. Otherwise, to protect you and…[Read more]

@loopylin

Loads of fun! There are so many possibilities! XD

My parents were a little concerned though.

Well, my art style for this story is fairly simple. I’m hoping to mix in some ink work, but so far it’s just line drawing with simple shading. The one picture I tried with his burns, I ended up mostly hiding it.

I’ll be somewhere in the…[Read more]

So I’ve been thinking…

Do y’all have any tips for drawing scars/disfigurements? 😁

I really love the fact that Viktor has serious burn scarring on his hands and back, but it’s been difficult to draw. Part of my problem is that I’m not sure that my drawings look like burn scars at all. The other part is trying to find the balance between…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

It’s Faramir!!!!!!!!!

That’s so good! Did you use alcohol markers for the color? The coloring and detail is beautiful. And his outfit is definitely Ranger-ish. It’s perfect for him. Especially the bow. (I actually do have a cloak like that…)

He’s one of my absolute favorites from LotR. A battle hardened soldier with a g…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

And I’ve never seen the movies, or clips including Faramir, so yeah…

XD

It’s interesting to me how different people imagine the same characters. For instance, I see Faramir as having black hair (short and raggedly cut) and blue eyes.

But I can see how that’s him even though it doesn’t look like what I imagined.

@mineralizedwritings

That’s…

*Bursts into laughter*

The blue light filter on my phone gives the poor guy fiery red hair. He looks good though (besides the conspiring on technology).

I need a cloak like that.

@freed_and_redeemed

So awesome! Soon you’ll get to hold your own book in your hands!

*Throws confetti everywhere*

@ellette-giselle

You felt like Calvin? I didn’t know my pouncing abilities were so good. I feel profoundly complemented. XD

Aw, thank you! I’m so glad you like my drawings, and that you don’t think the dress and skirt thing is stupid. Sometimes it gets a little lonely.

SKIRTS ARE THE BEST. XD I don’t know your personal reasons behind them, but…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed

Gracious, those poor dear charies, put through so much trauma by their author. XD

I vote Fin!

@ellette-giselle

Welcome to the Kingdom of Pen!

I know this is an exceptionally late ambush, but when you asked what we did on here other than ambush newbies, I realized this is one thing I haven’t done in a while. And as you love Peter Pevensie (from the BOOKS), and Smalden, draw beautifully, and like skirts, I feel an unavoidable obligation to…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I like number 7 best I think. The title feels like it is part of the picture.

Jonathan, you reckless, courageous, foolish kid. What did you think you were doing? (I think you’d get a long just fine with Vulkasin to the rest of the world’s danger)

@ellette-giselle

So pretty!! I love the soft shimmery feel of your cover.

My only critique on the cover is that the words feel a little crowded and off balance, like they were shoved into the top of the picture. I might move your name to the bottom of the page, enlarge the words, and drop them down a little bit. Maybe even flip one or both of…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Sure! I love book covers and might be constantly redesigning my working covers to a point that it’s probably bad for my health.XD

Blurb away!

@theducktator

I tend to study a map after or during the first book, and then I will reference it again if ai gets confused with the author’s directions. However, I tend to modify maps in my head to fit my own impression of the fantasy world, so after the third or so book I rarely if ever look at the map.

@esther-c

*Ecstatic squeals*

That’s awesome!

And yeah, sometimes a charies just don’t make the smartest choices (never mind that we’re technically the one’s making them make those choices).

@ellette-giselle

Welcome to the kingdom! I’m Koshka, a writer of middle-grade stuff ranging from rustic fantasy to sci-fi, plus the occasional poem or two. I play violin and scribble somewhat decent sketches on random pieces of paper.

Oh, and I’m halfway addicted to research. Especially the archeological, cultural, and historical kinds.

@loopylin

Finally, here he is. (Poor guy’s way confused)

Leo

Talan? Leo blinked. Blinked again. The thought of another type of living mankind brought dusty memories of bedtime fairytales floating back.

Still, humanity was almost species, not a race.

“Yeah… I guess I’m human, but aren’t…” His voice faded away at the sight of those four…[Read more]

@ava-blue

Thank you! It was drawn in an F pencil, then shaded with a 4B with highlights lifted out via random eraser I picked up.
