@warrioroftherealm Well, it seems to me that in medieval Norse/viking culture they used a lot of v’s, o’s, and k’s. In England (their main adversary) at the same time, there was a lot of use of the letters “ae” and “th” together, as well as a great many d’s and l’s.
Sorry if this is way to technical. I am very detailed when it comes to h…[Read more]

@warrenluther04 Here he is! What do you think?
Cole Avis:

As for your fanfiction, I think it might be okay to post it so long as you credit that it’s based off the Star Wars Universe. 😀 If you still have concerns, I’d ask @aratrea or @daeus about that.

@notawriter I totally agree! Even in the New Testament in the “credits” sections of Paul’s letters there are some unusual names. I mean, everyone’s heard of the name Aquila, but no one uses it because it sounds a little strange for a boy.

@warrioroftherealm I love making up words! (For instance, the character name topic I started.) How about smogis, longofay, caheloma, or jonjuke? What type of culture is it? That might have bearing on what kind of sounds they use in their language.

itisastarrynight replied to the topic Alternatives to flashbacks? in the forum Plotting 8 years, 8 months ago
I just realized another thing. I don’t like when flashbacks are used as plot devices to dump the reader info. But I enjoy seeing the flashback if I was already told the information. Sure, it seems like a waste of time to show if if ya already know it, but I think it can add a little bit of depth that way. Because the character has a flashback b…[Read more]

@waterlily Showing them in a “murkier” way might definitely help! I didn’t even think about changing the feel of it by taking advantage of the visual medium I’ll be using.
@livgiordano I think it is a good idea to have them shorter.. It would feel more natural 🙂 Love to hear your opinions on it from someone who enjoys it. Also glad that most…[Read more] -

@inkling-for-christ I would work on developing the internal conflict before handling any exterior threats or things that happen. *shrugs*
Who is the main antagonist? Why? How does it relate to your MC in a painfully personal way?
After all, a story is just about the protagonist and how he grows to defeat the antagonist. But that can mean more…[Read more] -

@jenwriter17 As others have said, 6 seems a tad bit cliche. But I hear legends of ways to fix it. Do the unexpected! *throws smoke bomb, leaving only a link to a KP article on cliche’s behind*

@sage-g I actually own a few copic caios, though Im not too handy with them(they’re amazing tho) . @notawriter thought you did use some alcohol based markers, but the colors were way too light and blended for my eyes to believe it.
@mariposa The facial anatomy looks amazing! -

@rochellaine Yes I’m planning on illustrating it once the writing is finished. I couldn’t do it atm as I still have so much to learn before tackling it, but I thought it better to start with the writing of the story before mastering my art skills. I actually approached this project because I wanted to do something with my art. It’s like the…[Read more]

@dekreel, As I said in the first post, I don’t write fantasy. 🙂 I go for the classic and the realistic, not the fantastical and grotesque. But then, that’s why I put the names out, right? So people could use them in ways I couldn’t!

Rochellaine replied to the topic Character Name Exchange in the forum Fantasy 8 years, 8 months ago
@dekreel, Ohhh, I don’t know! If she’s a person, probably. If she’s a normal animal like fox or tiger, probably again. If she’s a strange creature with a lizard’s body, a cat’s legs, and a peacock tail – probably not! 🙂 But I don’t care what you use it for, I just care what my own impressions of her are.

Joy replied to the topic Character Name Exchange in the forum Fantasy 8 years, 8 months ago
@rochellaine Again, I have NO idea who she will be. She might be human, she might be creature……… *shrug*
Would you WANT me to tell you who she is?

@itisastarrynight Wonderful! Actually, I like sci-fi better than fantasy, so I do think your updated plot sounds more cool. 🙂
You do illustrations yourself?
