I really should have replied earlier, I’m sorry. I should be available now for a while if you’re having a night owl night, because I have a debate due this Wednesday and am not prepared really at all. Our resolution is “is Civil Disobedience in a democracy morally correct?” And um…I find it to be their attempt to make us learn…[Read more]

Been a while since I posted on here, but I would like a little feedback for this little creation in Canva from 3 in the morning (I really need help sleeping.)

Obviously, this won’t be the actual cover (you kidding, I still have a little ways to go before that), this is just me having fun.

@mineralizedwritings

I do understand that. He’s a great character, but different seasons of life call for different kinds of inspiration/expression. I’ve got a few like that. Have you worked more on Flit’s project? (I don’t think I spelled that right. The translucent bird boy. That was a project if yours, right? )

That is a valid reason not to…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

I’m enjoying thinking of him growing up. It’s a little bittersweet.

Welcome! And if you do want to share some of your more recent style I’d love to see, whether it’s seeing old characters grow up or getting introduced to new ones. 🙂 Plus, seeing other’s styles develop is encouraging.

@rae

He looks good! His expression is so intense… Poor guy.

I wouldn’t worry about the earlobes. Asymmetry is a part of nature. Mine are uneven too! So it wasn’t a mistake, just accuracy. 😉

@ellette-giselle

(though the wild one is more Baron-sih to my mind. XD)

Same. Don’t worry, he will keep his ruffled, unruly hair for most of the book. This drawing was supposed to be from his time with Jenna.

It does kinda hover in the area where you know who it is, but it doesn’t exactly look like him because of the hair XD

Thank you!

Rory

He looked up and down the street. “Do we take the bus…. or do I continue to carry you?”

@rae

Wow! I like the combed look, (though the wild one is more Baron-sih to my mind. XD)

Yes…. *gets a ruler* yes, they are a little uneven, but I never would have seen it if you hadn’t said it. I guess next time, lay down a ruler on the pencil sketch to check that, lol. 🤣

But really! This looks really good! I like it a lot! Though I have to…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Did you know that today instead of the 25th was originally the day that children got presents? (Personally, I like waiting almost a month for them instead of getting them right away.)

Same.

@koshka

Sure! That sounds fun!

@whalekeeper

Gabriel Mai

Gabriel reached up into his hair, untying the red ribbon holding on his mask. He set his mask down on a wardrobe by the bed, sighing. He glanced at Lucy, making sure she slept.

He took off his bag of plundered items, setting the hatchet on the floor, pulling out the scraps of leather, twine, and needle from the bag.…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Gabriel Mai

Gabriel caught her, holding her carefully. He couldn’t smell any fresh blood, nor see any. He felt her arms gently, searching for any heat radiating through the bandages, any sign of infection. Finding none, he shifted her so her head rested on his shoulder, picking up her hatchet and few other fallen knickknacks…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Gabriel Mai

Gabriel knelt by Lucy. “Tell me what’s wrong. Lucy?”

Idk, what else to write, sorry 🙁

That was 100% big brother Gabriel

@whalekeeper

Gabriel Mai

As he walked on, Gabriel was internally debating if it was safe for Lucy to have a hatchet or not. When she was carrying his knife, she was careful, but that was briefly. Now she was toting a dangerous little blade with her like a trinket. As they passed through the rooms, Gabriel took some leather and a sewing kit he…[Read more]

@keilah-h

none of him home monsters look humanoid, so he might not have a kill reaction, but you bet they will be getting death glares at least. He might be a little protective of Lucy…

@whalekeeper

I’m good with anything that happens as long as Lucy stays with Gabriel. She’d be none too happy if they got separated

Gabriel feels the same, though he might have a more violent reaction than her if they got separated. Violent of the “kill everything” type.

@loopylin

Not that your characters would know this, but, just clarifying, the labyrinth doesn’t have an owner. It’s sort of sentient on its own, kinda, and more like a force of nature than anything else.

Yep! I know, but Gabriel most definitely would assume there’s a person behind this, not a bunch of crazy night owl writers lol…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Okay, glad you’re alright.

Also, I like the poem

The Protector — Gabriel Mai

As Lucy read the poem, the voices grew louder, hissing their jargon in his mind. He wanted to shout at them to stop, but kept his voice silent, not wishing to disturb Lucy.

“That’s alright, thank you. You read much better than I.” Gabriel tried to keep h…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

I hope your hand is okay!

but, yeah, I get how baking gets busy

@esther-c

Did you find any ideas for this? It’s totally fine if you haven’t looked yet, but I would love to brainstorm this idea some more!
