New drawings of the swords. ^^^

@thearcaneaxiom

I agree with Min and Jonas on everything they said. Resolve of the character will balance the unresolved political structure.However there’s still a lot of things you could do to end it differently. For one thing, most dystopias almost never talk about what happens after they take down the government. They need to reestablish e…

One question though, would you say that the robot might be too annoying, or the right amount? Because she’s going to become a prevalent character. I want her irritating for Tailen, but only funny and sweet for the readers.

I would say she’s close to the line. I wasn’t annoyed, but there might be some risk of her being annoy…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

yeah, if you don’t get to it that’s totally fine!

@thearcaneaxiom

Is there perhaps any other ways I could reflect the, well, reflection in the story that you think would be cool?

You could have the reflection be on the floor, so we have right side up and up side down versions. Since in your story, the character is being reflected oppositely, doing it like that could convey an inverse image,…[Read more]

Thank you for explaining 😅 I’m not a science person, so I don’t have a good grasp on all that stuff. Thanks.

@thearcaneaxiom

Cool! Do you intend to embody that in your own writing?

Perhaps.

Yeah, it would be interesting to give a go. If I was ever to try it, I would probably blend it with hard worldbuilding, where there’s perhaps things like the known aspects of reality, then those sporadic parts that can’t quite be quantized in any way.

That would pro…[Read more]

I just read through the second chapter, and I really like it! How do you come up with these ideas? I could never, lol. I’m having problems just coming up with a simple magic system, haha.

Great work! Also, I like the second cover, because it shows the “reflection” thing that Talien was diagnosed with and I like the theme/design…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

I really like the chapter! You did really well explaining things, but not info-dumping. One question, though, if Tailen is going to starve to death, wouldn’t he die of dehydration first? Or was that explained and I just missed it?

As for the covers, the first one is simpler, which might be good, but the other one is cool too. N…[Read more]

@jonas @thearcaneaxiom

Marcurious now has a catch phrase, lol.

Well, I’m dead. 

@thearcaneaxiom

Both look cool, but I like the second better. The first one was your profile pic before right? Maybe it goes against the design, but some color might help? You could just tint the gray parts blue or some other color.

@jonas

Well…you have great points!

I think that Marcurious is an interesting one, because he’s just used to having his way and getting himself out of trouble that he doesn’t see this as any different. He sees himself as a “god” of sorts, and sees the Pythonos as just another challenge that he can overcome.

By the way, is his ability to turn…

@thearcaneaxiom

It’s cool that they all seem to all seem to have different cultural influences, but all bear the same style at the same time, like they are united in their differences.

Yeah, I kind of want each one to be based on a different sword. I did these without reference, so I’ll probably get some reference and redo them.

I think tha…

(This didn’t work the first time, so I have to repost)

Here’s some concept art I made for each of the swords. I didn’t color anything in, except the gemstones, because I couldn’t really figure out what color each part should be.

Any thoughts? Favorite design? I like some of…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

Yeah, that’s a pretty good explanation for it.

@rae and @thearcaneaxiom

Thanks for the title suggestions! @thearcaneaxiom You’re probably right, it’s just irritating not having something to call it. I’m horrible at titles.

I don’t exactly know what happens to the souls of the Soulless Ones; probably just that they are so devoid of life and hope that it seems like they are soulless.

@mineralizedwritings

Ok awesome!!

Also I don’t do the official nanowrimo because I’ve heard some concerns about their focus being off… I don’t know enough about it to say though.

Yeah, I’ve heard a few things too. That’s why I didn’t really want to join their community. I definitely prefer KP. 😅

Alrighty! It will be fun. 😁 (And probably…[Read more]

It should say ‘no image found for avatar, because she’s the only one we don’t have a picture of. 🤣

And I don’t think Kaladin does a good job of turning the lemons he’s being pelted with into lemonade!
