Here’s a snippet of my practice idea! Like Inglor, the one I shared a mood board for, this is an old character revisited. If this were a novel, this would be your first introduction to him.

The tree Almarrin had chosen in his pell-mell dash for cover was not as tall as…

Hehe. Glad you think so!

He’s a bit of a goofball, but also so serious about everything. I’m trying to decide if I want the reader to underestimate him or overestimate him. I don’t think I want anyone actually knowing what he’s capable of until the climax.

I actually started a drawing of him last night, and he looks so babyfaced.…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

That’s so exciting about the bookies!!!!!

*Throws confetti*

*Watches video*

*Dies laughing*

@ellette-giselle

“No. You wouldn’t.” XD Hahahah.

That’s hilarious.

@loopylin

Thanks! : 3

@ellette-giselle @koshka

Exploring characters… Here’s our favorite little Warden. Or, he will be your favorite. Hopefully.

Imagine being the surprise youngest child in a family where 1,000 is a typical life expectancy. His nephews have children older than him. Nothing lifts him out of the shadow of his brothers, where safety stifles him. That…[Read more]

Thank you! 💗

@theshadow

Hi! Welcome back : )

@ellette-giselle

Awesome. XD It won’t be much for a while. I’m trying to straighten out the worldbuilding at the moment, so just funsies.

Y’all, I have had a happy realization. Two old/side projects of mine fit so we’ll together I might mash them into something new. XD Kingdom of Shadows is a sort of allegory seasoned with not-magic while Areth is a little more ancient and more folk lore esq than medieval fantasy. I’ve wanted to work on something along these veins, to try a smaller…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon

yes pls do I will give it a read through even if I never have the chance to use it lol

XD I get it, a lot of other people who are unfamiliar mistake him as a girl too. Most anime girls in this game genre are over the top feminine, with curly hair down to their legs, dresses and heels. So that’s why I can always tell.

Oh yeah…[Read more]

@keilah-h

well not cool for the character that dies but still lol

Not entirely sure why this was so funny to me, but congratulations on making me snort-laugh.

Nobody try to assassinate me please, but I think I might have just maybe reconfigured a certain sci-fi book out of YA and into upper middle-grade/young youth and it is so beautiful now and everything works so shockingly well I might be replotting the whole thing. Maybe. If I go with it.

It is really beautiful.

*Hysterical laughter*

But I also…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon

Ah. I see it is not about dying early though. Hmm.

Pioneers by 4 King and Country? It’s not tragic though it’s about facing the estrangements of time. My family loves it.

Other folkies probably have more fitting suggestions. I’ll keep on the look out, though.

@ellette-giselle

If one dies, I say See You Again by Grey Havens. It’s a theme for several relationships in my books. Deeply comforting, focusing on the the “there wasn’t time for etc.” regret. I personally love the Autumn Sessions version, but there’s not really a difference.

Not entirely tragic, but absolutely possibly applicable, is Carry…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

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]

@elishavet-pidyon

It was a great experience! Nothing like sharing nerdy information with people and convincing them to like it. I was thrilled to have fairly accurate materials on hand.

I could send you the notes if you’re ever hit with a desire to read about old postal service quirks and letter writing etiquette. XD

XD yeah go ahead! Idk if I…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

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]

@rae

Well, I like it. XD It’s lovely. But I can understand feeling a self portrait didn’t capture yourself accurately. I’ve done that before. But the framing and everything seems to have worked out very well. The freckles may be darker than in real life, but you choose what to emphasize with art. As it is, they help capture personality. 🙂
