@Kate-Flournoy Well, I’m glad you like it! I was a little nervous it wouldn’t be what you had in mind. Super fun to draw though; most of my drawings are of serious people doing serious things. 🙂

@Daeus Agh, the hair. I can’t draw hair. I try. And it doesn’t work. I did try to give him wavy hair. It didn’t work.

Hey everyone. If anyone want to write, I’m going to be at it for an hour.

@ethryndal 😛 That’s awesome. I guess I’d picture him more with wavy hair, but the character is still very well brought out. He’s actually one of my favorites. 😉

Two more characters. 😀

Seamus: A twelve-year-old lad, full of life and mischief who has a way of making everyone fall in love with him. He has red hair that falls about his face. It’s not curled, but it’s not straight either… slightly wavy, I guess. He has a few freckles on his cheeks and nose and sparkling blue eyes. He’s normally grinning at…[Read more]

@Kate-Flournoy Goodness, don’t hurt yourself. 😛

And thank you about the lettering… *bows* former calligrapher here. 😉
*stares at picture again* But the CHARACTER you got in that— the ATTITUDE! *dies laughing a second time*

@Daeus you’ve got to see this.

@Ethryndal I almost just screamed. Seriously. And now I’m sitting here grinning my face in half.
I
LOVE
THAT
PICTURE!
*dies laughing* Thank you so much; you’ve just made my day.

So that picture didn’t turn out the greatest. I really need to learn how to scan my drawings into the computer…

That’s a little better.

@Kate-Flournoy Well that took longer than I expected. Sorry I’m slow. 😛

And @Emma-Flournoy to.

By the way, Kate, can I just say that I am in awe of the lettering you did in both your drawings? (I’m in awe of the drawings too) I just keep staring at it, and each time it’s more beautiful than the last. 🙂

@I-J-Anderson so much character in that drawing though! I love it!

@PerfectFifths this anywhere close?

I think the confusing thing about magic is the indefinite line between “good magic” and “bad magic”. When I was researching it a couple months ago, a lot of articles I came up with stated that you just have to make sure your characters use this “good magic”. But the thing is, what exactly draws the line between good and bad magic? Using magic for…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy An antihero does not need a hero complement.

‘Nother character…

Erika Paige, female, nineteen. Tall, a little bony, dark-ish skin and a light dusting of freckles, with grey-green eyes and a veritable mop of brilliant red hair. She’s a mechanic… her story is steampunk, so she makes steam-powered robots and drones and such… and she also dresses like a Victorian era lady, mostly in dark…[Read more]

@perfectfifths I totally would, but unfortunately, I don’t have time for any drawing right now. It’s my finals week. Maybe I can next week sometime if you still want me to do it.

@Jane-Maree No, I haven’t read the Ashtown Burials, but they’re on my very long reading list. I haven’t even finished Chestnut King yet, so no spoilers. 🙂

@winter-rose Well, I got done with that unexpectedly fast. Hope your writing goes well.

@winter-rose Well, I’m beta reading, so that works. I’ll probably be at it till eleven.

*spends several moments choking and gulping and wiping her eyes*
Ouch.
This is superb. Just… everything. You had some typos, especially a lot in the first part, (and one grammar problem— ‘lays’ instead of ‘lay’ or ‘lies’) but everything else was amazing. I was also struck with how well you characterized Ellen— the quiet, sweet characters can…[Read more]
