“I… might know what a peasant is, and that’s me too.” She waved her hand over a door to make a peephole appear and looked inside. “There’s nothin to make me matter more… except being young. We’re equals, hm? Can’t use the whole key; you’re s’posed to benefit from half.”

Before Gabriel could interject, Lucy pointedly dropped to…[Read more]

Headmaster Howell!

@rae

Not to beat a dead drawing (lololololol, totally just made that up on accident because I typed the wrong words. XD) But I was looking at the two pictures and I know why I like the sketch so much better as Baron (or Barron? No….. it’s one “r”…. I think) anyhow. The colored in version is more correct to real life with the hair and wind…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

Interesting…… I may have to check it out!

XD oh boy, you like a good old tragic story?

Are you kidding??!?!? If I’m not crying at the end of the book, (and several times in the middle) I feel sold short.

Okay, lol, there are plenty of books I’ve loved that aren’t tragic, but yes, I love tragedy. I have a thing for it.…[Read more]

Gabriel was in many ways a stranger. He came from someplace else, his life was entirely different, and it was impossible to predict his thoughts. But he had fought a monstrous dog and birds, run through thorns, and never once complained or left Lucy for good.

Lucy glanced at the letterbox once more. She imagined in a way she often…[Read more]

Lucy took the key, wrapping her hand into a fist. Everything felt so slow and so fast at once. “What about you?”

@rae

Oh and I want to validate that it might not just be a habit problem, and you shouldn’t feel guilty for not eating food in a disciplined schedule, especially if you have a physical condition. Sometimes other health factors affect eating more than we think. I had at least one condition to tackle before my eating got better.

Lucy stopped to look at Gabriel breathlessly. A cluster of emotions throttled her head, mostly fear. Urgency.

Her hope spiked when the footsteps grew louder, and hair rose up her neck when the light in the slot flickered to black.

“I…” She found herself staring at the key in Gabriel’s hand.

@rae

Forgetting that food exists every day is such a mood, lol. I’ve had similar problems, though not to that extent. I can be weirdly picky, and sometimes the idea of food makes me nauseous despite not having eaten for a full day. I recently got tired of a meal that was my safe food for about three years (grilled cheese and ham sandwiches), and…[Read more]

@rae

That’s alright

Lucille

“It looked real to me,” Lucy argued.

Her attention was taken by a more typical door she would have seen in her city, in one of the courtyards. The door had a letterbox. Through a crack, warm light glowed, and a faint unidentifiable sound crackled from within.

Lucy pushed the slot open by sticking her fingers…[Read more]

@rae

(much better than my randomness lol)

The randomness worked well for the setting and gave me ideas 😛

Lucy ran up next to him. “Let me see – come on.”

The peephole was too high for her, and Gabriel had to help her up.

She peeked through the hole. The sight of a warm, stone room greeted her eye. An old man sat on a chair, rocked back and resting, a book’s pages turning in the air of their own accord.

“You can go home,” she whispered.

@rae

I literally forget that food exists sometimes until my stomach starts hurting badly.

You might not find my advice useful, especially because you have a physical condition I don’t. I don’t presume to know how many physical vs. mental blocks you’re facing.

But I’ve been actively working on this problem myself. So maybe what I’ve been doing…[Read more]

@rae

I’m so sorry!

Eating habits can be sooo hard to overcome…especially when your subconsciousness is telling you that losing weight=good 😭😭 I’ve been there before. There can be so many lies attached to food and eating habits, and if you think that might be part of the problem, I’d suggest looking at your thoughts and the lies you might be…[Read more]

Gabriel opened the door and they slipped into an open, circular room. A room filled with doors.

The doors surrounded Gabriel and Lucy. Tall, stove-sized, ash-white wood, paneled peeling rust – decorated with ornate arches, they encircled the room together. Lucy recognized most of the materials, even if some designs confused her.…[Read more]

Girl, Ellette writes some of the most tragic characters. She and Freedom make it their business to make KP cry, I swear.

Haha really? I guess I haven’t been keeping up with the writing that happens here…

Also, thank you. The hair took me forever.

Of course!

@rae

You’re welcome!

oh my goodness you totally got the hair! Looks great!

@ellette-giselle

Ooo! *is immediately interested. XD*

XD oh boy, you like a good old tragic story? I mean you could look into it for yourself, if you don’t want spoilers I’m happy to answer questions. It’s a phycological thriller, it’s a little creepy and a lot of bad…[Read more]

@rae

That looks really good I love it! I kinda like the wind direction in the other picture better, but this still looks cool. I love the way you drew the hair and colors.

but since my tutor recently told me to stop selling myself short,

Your tutor is right. Probably 90% of an artist’s struggle is learning to say “good enough.”

@mineralizedwritings

Idk If I’d recommend it here it’s pretty tragic.

Ooo! *is immediately interested. XD*

@rae

Wow. That is the best drawing I think I’ve ever seen you do. The coloring is perfect! The shading… the tones… it really looks 3D!! Wow! Great job! (Personally, I like the hair direction and expression of the sketched Bar…[Read more]

@rae

AH! Don’t touch it! Okay….. maybe a little, but leave the eyes and expression and hair. It’s perfect!!!

@mineralizedwritings

WOW!!! Love that! The shadowing was really well done.

The only way I could imagine getting this kind of wind is if you were standing on the edge of a cliff or had a fan below you. Or maybe in a crazy windstorm.…
