@graceofspades2017 Greetings, fellow dragon! Always nice to see more dragons. What type of dragon are you? I’m a dragon snapper. There’s really only one of those. 😛 Oh yeah, try not melt people. Very important. Sometimes I melt chairs and phones, but hey, whatever works. 😛
What’s your favorite movie?

@graceofspades2017 Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet!

I really don’t think there’s anything so helpful to a writer as a forum like this. You’ll love it, as I see you already do. I think everybody on here will testify that the community on here has been key in their writing growth.

And…are you an ENFJ?

@graceofspades2017 Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet! (GUYS. I said it first!!! I”m so proud of myself.)

I think I’ve seen you hanging around the art topic. Your stuff is very cool. And since you’re a dragon, I recommend talking to @dragon-snapper. (She’s our forum Security Dragon.) The rules are simple: No melting people.…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy @graciegirl @winter-rose Thanks guys.

@dragon-snapper Ah, cool! Yeah, I use reference pictures too. Mostly with architecture and stuff. I used to need them with people too, but after much trial and error and studying, I think I’ve gotten their shading down pretty well.

I would like to add: I’ve been following all the art on the Art Exchange thingy, and it’s incredible how much your…[Read more]

See guys, KP is infecting the world, one ice cream cone at a time. Never have I been happier.
@dragon-snapper

@dragon-snapper Hey, I might try my hand at your character, if I find time. What’s her name?

@winter-rose I am not pestered. 😛 I know I’m taking forever about it. Now that I’ve finished school I should have more time to work on it, and I plan to try. Sorry it’s taking forever.

@dragon-snapper Yes, Calvin and Hobbes is great!

@holly-nelson-gray Woops. 😛

@holly-nelson-gray I totally forgot to post this. Sorry.
Alex.

I forgot to mention that her hair is usually pulled back, and has a few smaller hairs hanging down in curls, like Rey.

People. I need help. Please. (Just a note: dragons don’t ask for help. This is the humble human me asking for help. 😛 )
You see, I am having a terrible time envisioning this character. She’s very difficult that way, so anyone who wants to draw her would be great. Actually, if more than one person could draw her, just to get more than one idea,…[Read more]

That is way too many tongue emojis. 😀

@emily-d Good. I can’t stand soccer or football. 😛 The US has the NFL, but I never watch it. Actually, I don’t really like sports at all. On par with cats. 😛
Fortunately, I don’t know many Beatles. ‘We all live in a Yellow Submarine.’ Just why?? 😛
Techno music gives me a headache from time to time. 😛
Tigers are awesome. Have you read any…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Thanks! I think that castle is one of my best works.
@winter-rose 😛 It can be Daeus’ castle if you think it looks like it. Maybe a gate leading to the courtyard?
@rachelle A landscape can take me anywhere from five minutes (that really quick sketch with the creek) or the more detailed landscapes, such as the lake one or the road…[Read more]

@mark-kamibaya Oh, boy. This’ll be hard to explain. 😛

So, a cliche, being what it is clearly has to come from some idea, and that idea is or isn’t a cliche. If it is a cliche, then clearly it came from somewhere, then you have a bunch of cliches within cliches. But if you change the definition of cliche, then they are all original, but they have…[Read more]

Interesting, subconsciously comparing and contrasting–I think that its a neat way of thinking of it.

Compare and contrast is certainly helpful, especially with sci-fi, because the world- like you said, it doesn’t have to be Earth -doesn’t directly compare to ours. And a self-made connection is always much more revealing.

Arc within an arc.…[Read more]

@hope I don’t think so. It’s still in the pre-stages of movie making. But they have some of the characters. Boromir is king Duncan. 😛
@daughteroftheking *accepts confetti* I know!!! I can’t wait!
