@jenwriter17 It is. Which is why this is the first side-angle drawing I’m quite happy with. 😉 😀

@clairec Thanks!

This is a character a YDubber requested I draw (I asked for requests to help practise the style). It’s the first profile-angle drawing that I am really quite happy with, so I wanted to share it (with the character owner’s permission).

@skredder Yay! 😀
The tricky thing is the hair, and making it look the same style in the different angles. I did the first one first, where he’s looking over his shoulder, then I had to figure out how that would relate to looking face-on.

Poooor Edward!
Yeah. I liked Maximilian, he’d definitely be a second to Albert and young Edmond, but Albert for some reason had a special place in my heart.
I see what you mean, but I think he was also starting to realise he wasn’t God’s agent for exacting His vengeance, and that really, he should be doing anything at all. And perhaps, he…[Read more]

No. You find the edition you’re reading, or one with the same number of pages, and every day you put in what page number you’re on and it tells you how much is left.

Not BY Andry Serkis, WITH Andy Serkis. He voices Screwtape. It’s an audio drama which was amazing! I haven’t read the book yet, but it’s part of an English course we want to finish this year, so I will.

@skredder Thanks! I think I can really see Keith and Allura in the eyes I did of theirs. By the way, the first and the third one are the same boy – is it clear?
@jenwriter17 Thanks!
@devastate-lasting Yeah, for both the drawings of the boy, I started with the eyes (and was quite impressed at my mirror-image for the front-on one – I usually draw…[Read more]

And here are some attemps at anime characters. 🙂

Louise Fowler replied to the topic Any Manga Style Artists Out There? in the forum Art 7 years, 2 months ago
I did some experimenting with anime/manga eyes yesterday, and did a couple of drawings (which I will also post).
My favourite ones are 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11 & 12.
All of them are my attempts at eyes I found on the internet.
6 is trying to copy @jenwriter17 ‘s eye in her first pic (the teenage guy). 7 is a reattempt (not as good).
8 through 11 are…[Read more] -

I may now have a legitimate reason for my aversion of having my photo taken.

Ahhhh! I finished it! *covers hands over eyes* Nooo! It’s too soon! :'(
Okay, okay… *deep breath* Monte Cristo effectively saved Danglars – from death is nothing else. He’d been captured by Luigi Vampa’s gang and almost starved to death, but Danglars repented to Edmond, so he forgave him.
I was almost – almost! – crying during the chapter The…[Read more]

New line, so that it’s not confusing when I got on multiple rants.
Did not finish last night, but almost definitely will tonight (4 chapters, 16 pages – I counted). There is no excuse, and I will not prolong it more than needed (as much as it pains me). Anyway, on to the rant…
These three chapters I read were just full of gloomy, depressing…[Read more]

AAAACK I FEEL YOU. :’o
Yeah, the last several chapters were pretty boggy and not cheer-inducing. And Edward. I know. It’s so sad.
Yes, the Danglars conclusion was pretty good, for Edmond’s part at least; showing how much he’d learned, albeit too late for most everyone else.
Yeah…yeah. Yeah ;P But then, you got to be very happy for him by the…[Read more]

Yeah.
XD
Yeah, I know what you mean. I almost didn’t want to start my next book the next night because I was sad there was no more Monte Cristo (but I did, because I loved reading 😛 ). I would love to know what happens in the characters’ lives afterwards. Franz seemed to disappear near the end, and Danglars, I wonder what he is doing now.
There…[Read more]

Heh, good plan. I don’t like the idea of sequels by people other than the original author. It’s just not RIGHT. 😛
Ooh… I’ve only read/skimmed an abridged/illustrated version of that, not the real thing, but I’ve heard it’s nothing to go nuts over at all. Hate to burst the bubble, but that’s what I’ve heard. XD From Daeus, no less, among…[Read more]

There is one exception that I know of, and that is the newest (as far as I’m aware) Asterix comic. One of the original authors is dead (sad 🙁 ), and the other supervised two new people in the writing and illustrating of it. I’ve read it, and I think it keeps the tone and feel of Asterix, if a little different, because different people means…[Read more]

The scene was good, because it showed Morrel’s desperateness, and how much Monte Cristo cared about him. 😉
Do we get to see them more?
Someone said, “Alas, how can I restore the happiness I have taken away from these poor innocent creatures? God help me!” And while it didn’t name names, Edmond is pretty much the only one that caused their…[Read more]-

Were you reading a digital copy, and that’s how Goodreads could track it?

No. You find the edition you’re reading, or one with the same number of pages, and every day you put in what page number you’re on and it tells you how much is left.

In that sort of society, meeting mostly men is a little more realistic. Women seem to be more of the stay-at-home type in Middle-earth cultures. Of course there will be women out doing things, like Eowyn, but she wasn’t even supposed to go.
Poooor Danglars, even though I don’t like him very much.
Yeah, I agree. But I also understand her sid…[Read more]

Oki, so unhappy because the story is going to end soon… :'(
Happy because my aforementioned friend said she downloaded the audio book! 😀-
Ahh yes. That scene was good. Sort of. Max should not have considered suicide. XD But yes. I like his and Monte Cristo’s relationship.
*sniffs* *whimpers* *weeps* Poor Mercedes and Albert. (Yes, I’m just glad we got to see them again too. SO glad. Albert is not a character to be shoved off to the side. At least. Not totally. *scowl* Nor…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy New line…
Maximilian was going to kill himself! :'( But Monte Cristo talked him out of it, saying, if he were not consoled within a month, to the day, to the hour, he would personally give him pistols and poison so he can end his life. Dear, Maximilian, all is not lost – I hope!
Albert and Mercedes are in an unhappy spot. I’m…[Read more]

***first sentence*** “I think Tauriel…”

Louise Fowler posted a new activity comment 7 years, 2 months ago
I Tauriel was an attempt to get an “obligatory female character” into the movie, but bth, I don’t care if most of the cast of LOTR and The Hobbit are male (there are only three major females, and not many more who have been given names that I can think of).
