Yeah…

Yay, that’s great about your art and writing! Finding a style is hard, so it’s good to hear you’re finding one.

Well….. my writing isn’t going great. In that I haven’t written for a while. I think about my book a lot to the point where I feel like I could write the whole thing, but unfortunately I keep making excuses for…[Read more]

I’m sorry to hear that, I hope things get better for you. How is art and writing going?

I’m doing okay, thanks.

@keilah-h

doing great!

Glad to hear that!

I don’t have motivation for anything else and first person is just so fun.

Lol, well your TF2 stories are entertaining, so that makes sense.

A half-brother?! What’…[Read more]

Ah, my friend has that same problem with her art sometimes. I’ll have to check out what you posted. By the way, I love your art style!

Wethinketh in my own noggin that Powers been kinda bored and a’hopin’ for some clarity or wisdom  (That, or an ugly dragon to bonk! 😼😺)

Is there a dragon nearby you can bonk?

GASP!!! PERCHANCE MY TOOT…

wow! I love that one in the frame!!

@rae

Actually I thought it did kinda look like you!

I like the one of the little girl too!!!

I think I do have your email! I’ll hunt down the doc and send it then. XD Old etiquette is interesting.

I wasn’t sure which so went with the first impression. XD Makes sense though. He didn’t look entirely feminine, but I am unfamiliar with anime. I can tell with elves/LotR because of exposure to Saxon culture, but outside…[Read more]

Something like a last farewell or something??! I have been searching for over a month. It started out as “oh that would be cool if they had a theme song” and turned into “they MUST have one just because I can’t find one.” lolol

So, anyone have a good one?

@keilah-h …[Read more]

I’ll look forward to hearing how it goes! I should be able to try my hand at calligraphy again soon, and it will be more fun when someone else is doing it. 🙂

Oooh that sounds nice! Yes, I think that’s what I meant. Have you seen the glass pens too? They’re so pretty!

Yes, I have!! They are. I’d love to try one. They look lik…[Read more]

That looks so awesome. I think transparent framed art should be a thing I need in my life.

Looks like my lovely, long response never posted. Here goes a 2nd edition!

Look out at the thrift stores! I got mine there and I’ve seen more since.

This is brilliant. I shall do this. XD

It’s so interesting to find out what different art forms use the same supplies. XD Calligraphy nibs can range from super straight kinds t…[Read more]

Yeah, i do think it’s funny that microns have the color scheme/look of the really old tan brick computers, my parents used to have one so that shade of tan makes me nostalgic.

Oh, they do look like they belong with those old computers! XD That’s funny. I’ve thought of them as nerdy coffee-colored pens.

I’ve yet to try it but…

[Read more]

Oof, yeah. The nibs can definitely do that. It hasn’t happened to my set yet, but the 005 is a little damaged/isn’t as fine as it used to be.

They definitely look nicer vidually than the microns. I think I didn’t like something with the way the end attached to the body. I’ve liked it’s idea, but as Microns were easier to get…[Read more]

Sakura Pigma Microns. I haven’t mastered getting a reliable thickness from my dip pen, so I really like using the Microns. They’re very similar to a thin India ink, just as archival, and come in a wide range of thicknesses. (I typically use 02 – 003 but it’s nice to have a chunky 08 once in a while.) Plus they’re much easier…[Read more]

Really? Come to think of it, I don’t know where I got it. It’s not really a common phrase where I grew up. XD

But hey, if bats aren’t a good description of mildly erratic feelings frustrated madness, I don’t know what is.

(Why are you forcing me to name my places I don’t like this kind of work😂)

XD Sorry. I feel that. There have been so many times I’ve had to come up with species names for rps on the spot lol.

Flax seemed relieved, which encouraged Lois.

Oh cool!! I really like that drawing!!!

Lois

“Maybe let him alone, Moth,” Lois interrupted gently. “He looks a bit pale.”

As amusing as it was to watch this tall winged boy pretend not to be intimidated by a little sprite like Moth, he couldn’t help feeling some sympathy for him.

“Where are you from, Flax?”

please use your imagination.

Understandable. XD It’s supposed to be a reference drawing so it makes sense to only feather one of the wings. Best to leave one bare as an…[Read more]

Thanks! Now I just need to find a minute to get a character in here, lol. (and pick one too. XD)

Yep!

Wait guys are our characters wearing crowns?? They are princes after all right?

Wait, what if they have to earn their crowns and they get special customized ones after a while? That might be fun.

Well, I was going to wait until I had @Power‘s Cactushead done, but as that will take a bit since I’m also starting some commissioned work, (Or trying to…) I’ll go ahead and post something else for the Circle.

Behold, a cat I doodled last Saturday:

Sure!

Moth is probably the smallest of the three. He’s a fae with wings under his cape. He has curly golden hair and his whole body is a pale butter color with a layer of fur. But in most other aspects he looks like a delicate young boy.

Lois is human with dark curly hair, pale skin, glasses, and shadows under his eyes. He…[Read more]

Spoooonnnnsssss

I think I have everyone’s emails!

I guess that depends on who’s setting up the call? Which asks the question–

@elishavet-pidyon @hybridlore @theducktator @savannah_grace2009 @whalekeeper @loopylin @ellette-giselle

Who’s setting up the call? XD Hybridlore, do you have all our emails? I think I have all but Min’s…

it’s ok to just not want it in the wrong hands. I don’t actually think my current art style would be stollen by ai, but I don’t like the idea that it could if it wanted to.

Exactly. Thank you for phrasing it better than I did. :]

Anyways, here’s something! It got horribly smudged (this type of paper is not for drawing – it’s very textured watercolor paper!) but I was practicing baby hands and drawing a full muscled hand for fun.

I’m a fully certified hand muscle expert now. Ask me anything. Please don’t…[Read more]

Have you tried glaze? How about watermarking it?

Maybe I’ll try those.

Honestly I feel like a jerk to worry about AI as if my art is better than anyone else’s, because it’s not. But it’s not just my dad who feels that way; I think I hate generative AI even more than he does and I don’t like the idea of even s…[Read more]

I say go for it. I don’t know if I can join or not, but aybe I can. 2 PM would be easier, but it’s whatever works for everyone. If three is good, then go with that. *drops my two cents on the table*

@mineralizedwritings is 3 PM CT on the 6th a good time? That’s a couple hours earlier than 3 for you, if I remember right. So I’m not…[Read more]

WOW! That is so cool looking! I actually sort of oddly like that it’s not finished all the way…. idk why. lol

Yes, I think it is whaley’s turn….

Cool! Those don’t seem too specific to your characters so I can choose what works.

“Why do I miss him so much?” and when she came back, guilty, he was like “Weird, I felt the same way!”

This fits the situation I’m writing. Could work as a plot device for something. *Snatches it*

I’ll tag some of the recently active people to see i…[Read more]

I believe so.

@elishavet-pidyon @ellette-giselle @whalekeeper @mineralizedwritings

Here’s an art from me. Ignore the hands, I am no hand master. *sigh*

Yvonne and Luke.

Aw thanks!

who’s turn is it, do you remember?

Thanks! I’m glad you like it! Huge ears can be cute, but these elves aren’t rabbits, lol. I also really like doing them anatomically correct, since some people actually have ears like that. (For instance, an aunt of mine…)

@ellette-giselle

Hooray!! Lol. I’m glad it gives that effect for you. It’s really different from elvish…[Read more]

I should really get to illustrating something for one of my books, but I’m also reorganizing my room in the afternoon and don’t feel like it when I’m done….. XD

Hence… randomness.

Thanks for the replies! I will read them to my brother. And I find the answers quite interesting myself. Sometimes it’s funny to try answering the question and realizing a character is disabled without ever thinking about it before.

A little late, but here it is! I’ve been practicing the 3/4 view, and I think this is the best result so far. He doesn’t look like a guppy! XD Not that the other results look terrible, they just had a fishiness to their faces that wasn’t totally human, lol.

It’s Onnendel. Apparently…[Read more]

In the world of Ehverwyld, magic is an evil thing. It twists those who use into horrible crow-like monsters. Alan knows this. It took his family and has left its mark on him. Alan deeply regrets the day he used it.

But it isn’t the end for Alan yet. He’s determined to put his past behind him, by joining his country’s army. He will prove to the w…

Thanks! It can, but yeah, I’m hoping that it’s getting better.
It’s set in the 2050s, so mostly pretty similar. Probably more similar to the present time than the 2050s actually would be. 🤣
Thank you! We’re on our way home! It was a lot but we had a great time!

Oop it’s been a few days. Here’s my drawing. I told myself I’d post the last thing I drew and what do you know, it was this! 😂

For context, I do not want children (or my crazy friends) playing with my new amplifier and bursting their eardrums. So I drew this meme to discourage them…[Read more]

Moth

Moth narrowed his eyes slightly, mouth still twitching. “I’ve been called weak for many reasons but that’s a new one. Maybe you’re right. It should be easy for you to take me down, you think?”

Lois

At the word “combat”, Lois looked up. Moth had threatened the same thing at the sign-in desk, and Lois hadn’t been able to tell if he had meant it. Now, though, there was a subtle teasing look on the boy’s face. Flax had a surprised and slightly terrified look on his face which Lois found quite funny. He…[Read more]

He’s joking but Flax doesn’t need to know that. XD

Who else is here?

Keilah makes the occasional appearance, but otherwise it’s just us!

Oh, Flax XD

Moth

Moth furrowed his brow, the slightest smile tugging at his mouth. “I see you know more about being a prince than I do. Perhaps you’ll change your tune in single combat.”
