@rae how did I miss this?

I might be back with tips, but if I can’t think of any I’ll just see what everyone else has to say.

@ellette-giselle thank you!!!!

@whalekeeper lol it was my mom that made it, I just decorated it

@theducktator 18. It’s crazy. My dad had me sign some healthcare paperwork to confirm I’m staying under their plan and not splitting off to pay for my own, and my brother was like “Welp, now that you’re 18 you’re gonna have to start doing paperwork.”

@elishavet-pidyon

I imagine scenes and plot points behind almost any instrumental song. But when it’s from Apollo 13, which I have never watched… I’m not perfectly comfortable just connecting the two. And of course it feels awkward to explain to people.

yep, pretty much. I see my own stories playing out in my mind, or the plot of the origi…[Read more]

Syph

He had to what? He blinked at Eddie. A dark blue flush crept up his neck. Water droplets appeared and disappeared in the air around him.

“Oh. Guppies. For a dance? But I don’t know of any other spritelings to pair with. It could take an indefinite amount of time to even find someone who wouldn’t be—oh tadpoles—…[Read more]

@hybridlore

Oh my goodness… I used to watch that so much with my siblings 😂 You’re right, it was a good show

yesss!!! I used to love it. I had an animal-themed birthday party when I was like 8 or 9 because of it.

I’m not really into it anymore, but an online friend of mine writes crossover fanfictions and the wild kratts characters appear in the…[Read more]

@esther-c yes, this feels a little more like a letter! good job!!

@ellette-giselle lol those memes are great!!

Movies are pretty much never better than the book, but I can think of a few movies which were almost as good.

@esther-c

The P.S. is beautiful. It closes out the letter (and story) in a satisfying, simple end. In my opinion, very good.

@loopylin @raxforge

Syph

Ball room? He’s seen something, a large sign on his way to school. But now, that had said Ball Pit. Surely they weren’t the same thing. How was one supposed to dance in a ball room?

Wildly. He could do that.

“Tonight. Oi, that is agreeable.”

Although he’s have to find this Room of Balls too. The misty whisp tightened…[Read more]

@loopylin

That sounds like an insane amount of fun. XD

My experience is just jumping around the house to Celtic music with my siblings.

@whalekeeper

Aww, thank you! *He turns bright blue and bows*

The water Sprites dance is like what you’d get if you mixed ballet and Irish folk/cog dancing, with the added effects of water swirls following their every command. They move the water, and the water moves them.

By the way, Syph has no problem dancing with girls. He just is trying to understand how it would work if you weren’t in competition.

I love historical clothing and culture, so I know know how clothing, and culture, and the rule of law change over the ages in my WIP world’s. I’m also a decentish seamstress. I may or may not have constructed my characters wardrobes in my head. Although…I don’t think I’ve really described them…so I don’t think that’s really influenced my…[Read more]

Syph

Understanding, a starburst of clarity, washed over his face. “You mean–the boys dance with the girls? Not against them? Why, that’s such a Wingless thing to do–” he squinted over at Rax. “Oh, sorry. No offence meant to the present company.”

The young sprite looked down, twisting a wisp of mist around his finger as a c…[Read more]

so yeah, thank you again!!

@whalekeeper it’s actually looking really good so far! I have Sniper’s shading done and will start work on Medic soon.

@whalekeeper

well, my stories are mostly fan fiction anyway so that could be considered a part of it—like, I love (insert fandom) so much I can’t help but write stuff for it. Even in my original works, this bleeds through—Headstriker, Coal, and Chisel, some OC’s I created for a story I’m writing with a friend, were based off various combinati…[Read more]

@whalekeeper oooh I like the skylight idea! I might use that, thanks!

@anyone remotely good at shading

I can’t shade for two scales. Anyone wanna help me figure out where to shade this redraw of Sniper and Medic?

For context, they will be standing on top of a train in the mountains, and there is no definitive light source to be seen (the sun is covered over by clouds and there aren’t many lights on this sec…[Read more]

@theshadow it still took me a while to get it right, but considering I was only doing a headshot (pun intended) it was done quickly since I didn’t have to worry about anything under his neck.
