@ellette-giselle

Thanks! I will start posting things on here probably on Monday, Febuary 3. My goal is to get through all of this in a month so I can start writing the first draft in March.

@ellette-giselle

Oh my goodnessssss. I just typed out a super long response to your post, and then Wyoh ate it because I wasn’t signed in. 😭😭

I love these ideas. Thank you so much for all the time you’re putting into this (I love bouncing ideas off of someone! There’s a lot of stuff I haven’t figured out with this.) And I’m glad you like the…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Do you have a plan for the front cover? (Ignore this question if you’re swamped with thoughts for the illustrations XD)

Still trying to figure that out. This is what I am currently using, and I may do something similar to this in the end (with a background, coloured, and fully developed of course. I still need to learn and practice d…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint I have a tiny one of those. You’re right, they’re good for basic poses, but mine at least is nowhere near the amount of flexibility for the poses I have my characters in much of the time.

@linus-smallprint what regions of the world are you missing?

@ellette-giselle

This is the manikin I mention. He is helpful for posing, but not as flexible as I would prefer him to be:

@ellette-giselle

I’m not sure what you mean by outline. I do young sketches, see if I like the drawing, and then move from there.

Basically a simple form of the drawing I use to decide where things will all go and to help me get the proportions right. It’s useful because if I make a mistake here, for example, make the arms to long, or draw the h…[Read more]

@keilah-h

have you thought of a chameleon race or are you gonna stick to the lizards all being Australian water dragons?

I don’t know. I still haven’t thought of any more races other than the ones that are already in there, except possibly a horse-like one. So I still have seven out of thirteen slots open.

@linus-smallprint

Your art does look good. I’m a little thrown off because the picture you took of it is a little tilted, but they do look balanced when I tilt my head to match.

thanks! yeah I think I took that picture with my tablet camera, and my tablet is huge so it’s hard to stabilize.

@theducktator

Forgot your tag in the previous post

@whalekeeper

Bro, the art is super good. You’re dedicated and it clearly shows; well done.

Thank you!

Ooh, nice! His cowl is cool!

Thanks! After I drew the first two full-body references, I looked at him and thought ‘he really needs something around his neck’. His cowl is the only part of his clothing that I’m settled on.

@loopylin

That piece of artwork you have there looks cool. Is that a sheep in wolf’s clothing? Do you have the finished version?

@keilah-h

Your art does look good. I’m a little thrown off because the picture you took of it is a little tilted, but they do look balanced when I tilt my head to match.

Iskyagus (how do you pronounce that anyway?? lol)

Here is my expertly made pronunciation guide:

Why’s he have antlers on his shoulders and not his head? Was that part of w…

@stephie

*Whispers* Good

@whalekeeper

*nods, all Yoda-like* My emotional side is well aware of its value.

My logical side still treats it like a baby.

*whispers* I’m working on it

@stephie

My calculations also show that your profile pic is in complete harmony with the words you have articulated

Hehehehehehehe

 If Emotional Side were here, she would probably laugh, but again, she’s too busy being pathetic.

Emotional sides are not pathetic, my dear KPer. They are the path to discovering ourselves. 😁

I used to be pretty combative. I’ve learned to be nice, after much trial and error. And belonging to a class where each of the eight students, my besties, are from eight different kinds of churches. They gave me a lot of character development. XD

@whaley

I appreciate the compliment, and I don’t think anyone here is acting too meanly. It’s pretty normal to feel triggered when your own beliefs are questioned. I feel that way all the time.

*looks around*

Hi, this is Steph’s Logical Side. Steph’s Emotional Side is too busy being embarrassed to do anything, so I’m typing this for her. Acc…[Read more]
