@rae

Wow! Yeah, I wouldn’t have guessed that! What is the origin of your last name?

Funny story… my grandma’s maiden name was probably originally said one way, since it’s not pronounced how it looks, but when her mom (or grandma? I can’t remember which) married into the family, she started pronouncing it a different way since she had a lisp. And…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle @hybridlore

well, you got closer than some people do XD

It’s pronounced eyesuh-la. Hopefully that makes sense. Some places will say it’s pronounced with an “ee” sound on the end instead of the “la” but I specifically know my Oma (who was actually my great grandmother and not my grandmother but she always wanted us to call her…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Are we planning another one of these for this Saturday, or what’s the plan? 😉

@rae

I would say it, Eye-suhl, like the Eiffel Tower but with an S instead.

@ellette-giselle

Lolol! Well, then I’m saying it right. XD

@keilah-h

Oh no, I’ve been saying your name wrong too!! 😂 I thought it was Key-la. Where is your name in the Bible?

@ellette-giselle

I think I’m saying your name right? 😅 I know we already had a conversation about this. I feel confident about everything but the “Ette”. I might have the emphasis wrong, but oh well.

The trick to no one saying…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I’ve been pronouncing your last name wrong (I’ve treated the /G/ as /G/ instead of /J/), but I think I’ve pronounced your first name right. YAY!

People mess up my last name a lot. Either they see it in writing and pronounce it wrong or they know how to pronounce it but can’t spell it. I have a friend who I’ve known since I was…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

wow! That’s so cool! Is it lines, Xs dots? Like what makes cross hatch “cross hatch” If that makes sense?

It’s straight lines that often cross each other at different angles. The more lines, the darker the shadow.

Here’s a picture of some balls drawn in a couple cross-hatch styles compared to other drawing techniques (I didn’…[Read more]

It also reminds me of Dust! You should definitely check it out, if you’re going to write a Peter Pan retelling. I’ve never really been huge about Peter Pan (know the basic story, don’t think I’ve seen the movie or read it—most of my knowledge is from Dust 😅) but this sounds like an interesting twist on it!

@keilah-h @elishavet-pidyon @loopylin @ellette-giselle

thanks

@ellette

How do you even do that!? I’ve never heard of that style!!!

I first heard about it from a How to draw book who used the technique combined with others to create textures in a drawing. Then another How to Draw book used something similar to create a cat head with pen. For…[Read more]

@theducktator @esther-c @rae

Any updates??

@whalekeeper (I think you were the one who asked this? 😅)

No, I don’t normally get that emotional when I write. Honestly, I’m not that much of an emotional person in general though. I can only think of one scene recently (in the past few months) that made me (decently..?) emotional. That I wrote.

It’s probably more often with books and movie…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Sure!!

@whalekeeper @loopylin

Are y’all SERIOUS?? That was soo confusing! XD “Whalekeeper tagged you in a status update…”

@esther-c

Wait wait wait waittttt…Was I not the first one to come up with that nickname???

*coughs*

You were!!!!

And I loved it so much that I decided to use it XDXDXD

…

It made me laugh when you said it and so I decided that this scene was the perfect one to use it in…lol!

*subscribinggg*

@loopylin

So, I drew Dante in a cartoon style because I was bored, and we had some issues so to make up for how bad that one came out, I tried to draw him in realistic…

This one was a huge challenge because I’ve never drawn a realistic cyclops.

How did I do?

he’s just so cute

Not gonna lie, I’m excited to share this drawing I did of a little kid

oh dear, my pencil lines look terrible blown up so big
