Not-So-Secret Secret Assassin

@keilah-h

Of course!

@whalekeeper oooh I like the skylight idea! I might use that, thanks!

@keilah-h

Hm… You can go this route. I put a skylight on the train car as a light source. It’s exaggerated so you get the idea.

Otherwise, if you don’t want another light source, I’d say just shade as if the sun is above. A glow still falls on us during a cloudy day, even if it doesn’t lead to sharp shadows.

@anyone remotely good at shading

I can’t shade for two scales. Anyone wanna help me figure out where to shade this redraw of Sniper and Medic?

For context, they will be standing on top of a train in the mountains, and there is no definitive light source to be seen (the sun is covered over by clouds and there aren’t many lights on this sec…[Read more]

@theshadow it still took me a while to get it right, but considering I was only doing a headshot (pun intended) it was done quickly since I didn’t have to worry about anything under his neck.

@loopylin

Gradually, though, the cough turned into a hoarse, uncontrolled laugh. A moment later he sat up, a half-grin on his face, and his pupil dilated like a cat’s in the dark.

My heartbeat actually spiked when I read that

This is the cake:

@anyone who cares

it’s my birthday today!!!

My mom made me a cheesecake and I made a lizard design on it with chocolate! I don’t have the picture yet though.

@loopylin

I like messing with the idea of a world where almost everything you interact with is alive and has its own character. It’s fun.

Huh, never thought of that as a magic thing before. That’s a new idea for me.

@loopylin

Brea took several steps closer. She put a finger to her lips and shushed it. The typewriter sat still. Then, slowly, it typed out a s.

Then a h.

Then another h.

I love this.

@ellette-giselle

and then he just magically wins.

Hehe, I no longer get angry, just amused.

@ellette-giselle

Oooh, I love Puss in Boots, especially the Last Wish. That movie was as good as the second Spiderverse, imo.

@the_lost-journal

(where this super cool person is wearing a mask and then they remove their mask and its a GIRL 😮

I think of Samurai X and Faith from Ninjago. They did it twice, several seasons apart.

@theducktator

Kid’s medicine tastes so good though!!! You’re right!

@theducktator @keilah-h

I’m on book eight, if my memory serves me well. I decided there was such a nagging balance of potential and problems, that I wanted to re-world-build the elf world. If you ever get any ideas for the redesign, let me know.

@ellette-giselle

In the second book everyone knew rescue was coming, and it was a race against time. All hope seems lost, but in the last moment rescue comes and that’s when you find out that the villains had already lost the war and were under order to release prisoners but were trying to off the MC at the last moment.

Oh, did you have a s…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Uh, big brother mode just got activated.

Leo

Rory looked… lonely. Leo reached over and ruffled the kid’s hair, not stopping to think that he was probably too old for that. He needed a childhood. “Welp, now you’re stuck with me too, so I guess you’ll see how blessed Quincy is.”

He laughed and scooped up a handful of metal…[Read more]

@whalekeeper @theducktator yesss I love KOTLC’s worldbuilding (despite a few points on which I’m like “um, no, that totally breaks immersion, sorry”) but the romance is pretty much half the plot now if not most of it.

Not that I hate that, but I don’t love it either. I want them to just beat the bad guys already.

@ellette-giselle

Leo

Leo chuckled and shook his head. “Do we look related? But I’m the one who pulled the little monkey from a shelled out hole, so I guess I have as much right to claim him as anyone else.”

He leaned back against the couch.

@ellette-giselle

Oh goodness yes. XD

Leo

Soldier. Yes…and no. Another sigh caught in his throat.

“Yes, but no. I don’t really know what I’m doing here.” He leaned back against the couch. The floor felt cold through his work pants.
