I vote we do 17 sometime soon because that sounds like it could give Mel a rest, but anything is good with me. Or we could combine them.

Mel

Mel sniffled a bit, staring at the ground in embarrassment. She shuffled her feet and then looked up at Lucy again, about to say something else, when she suddenly stopped. She…[Read more]

@rae

Ooo! I like it!

But don’t slick his hair back. It dpesn’t fit him. lol.

I still LOVE that one that you did for the mockup cover, and all my favorites are the older Baron drawings when you first started using the markers and he still had that almost whispy or windy look.

But these are still good!

More labyrinth memes to pass your time

I love O Brother Where Art Thou

Lucille

“That’s okay. Those are natural bodily secretions,” Lucy murmured. She looked down at her admittedly already dirty shirt, and wiped it off with her own handkerchief.

Mel
Mel stopped trying to hold it in and cried quietly into Lucy’s shoulder. She couldn’t tell if the grown-ups had obeyed Lucy’s command to close their eyes, but she felt comforted by the idea. Lucy squeezed a bit tighter. This was better than stinky crow feathers.
After a couple minutes which felt much longer, her…[Read more]

@rae

Those are fun!! I like the melancholy look you’re going for with Baron. And funny poses like the last one are the best to draw.

@rae

He’s trying so hard, but he’d feel more comfortable in the middle of a knitting group than here lol.

I’m thinking about adding a character who loves to knit, so this amuses me all the more. He might factually have the option to join a knitting group instead

@loopylin @keilah-h @rae

Lucille

Lucy sometimes found herself making fists, pinching herself, breathing quickly, or screaming – without any control. Without knowing why. As if feelings blew through her body or pounded on her skull just because they could.

As she saw Mel trying not to cry, something clicked. Her parents sometimes took her aside…[Read more]

Huntress

Mel hid her face in her hands, looking very stressed.

Sniper appeared tense, as if he thought it was his fault she were upset. He stood up and backed away as Gabriel asked Mel what was wrong, leaping up to sit on a rock and watch where he couldn’t interfere.

I sat down next to him. “I don’t think she’s…[Read more]

@keilah-h I’m so sorry she’s not paying attention. I love reading the backstory/worldbuilding stuff, but Mel is a very tired and overwhelmed neurodivergent seven year old who doesn’t know what to do atm. She would find it so cool any other time. @whalekeeper @rae I promise I’m not trying to write a dramatic scene, lol. She’s just a tired kid.…[Read more]

Oh whoops, tags. @keilah-h @whalekeeper @rae

Huntress

Mell giggled at Soldier as he tried to avoid Runt.

She then turned to me. “What, um… Who are you guys?”

I wasn’t exactly sure how to tell her what we were without freaking her out. “We’re, from, uh…a a galaxy really far from here.” I finally explained, trying to make it decently easy to understand. “We w…[Read more]

Mel

“Yeah.” Mel giggled, watching Runt continue to follow him around curiously. Despite the fright he had given her in the sky, she liked the bird man. He was silly. As she watched though, her smile slowly faded back into a look of confusion. She looked up the nice lady.

“What, um… Who are you guys?”

@rae
Nice work!! That traditional coloring would stress me out. I’m glad you’re having so much fun testing your skills.

@rae

Oh my word! That is so cool looking! You must post a picture when it’s done!!

@rae

That background is so detailed and three dimensional! :0 The perspective is really impressive.

And, once again, I absolutely love the twins drawing. 💛💙 Thank you so much! They’re so cute

@keilah-h @rae @whalekeeper

Mel

Mel smiled as she gently grabbed the crow’s beak and pushed him back. He must be hungry, she thought. Then she faced the woman who had approached her and stuck out her bruised chin, trying to look tough.

“I’m not scared.”

Tired? Overwhelmed? Maybe. Confused? Sure. But scared? Never.

Runt tried to peck at Mel’s…[Read more]

Huntress

I mulled over this. Two children in the labyrinth. This was starting to get worrying.

The new girl–clearly also human, or at least a human-dominant hybrid like my brother or the Mann twins–left Sniper’s side and hugged the crow, appearing shy. Or, y’know, scared of an Argonite and Ornithiform.

Lucy…[Read more]

Foraging is fascinating. Definitely please tell us how the next bit goes!
