Ah yes, most people look at one a little strange if we start talking about stones which change people into animals, especially if one emphasizes the fact it’s by a Christian. XD

That’s interesting. I always saw Artham’s wings reddish, like a red hawk.

@trahia-the-minstrel

Wow! You spent a lot of time drawing those. Good job! The second one in particular is well done. The human eye tends to like threes.

I would recommend having your characters in the second cover that are wearing armor to also wear helmets (or at least holding helmets). The helmet isn’t used very often in movies or pictures…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel

I’m glad you like them! I definitely have some more work to do, but it’s a start.

@scoutfinch180

Thanks!

The colors in the second seem to fit with the word Ice, but so does the first in a darker way. The first might have better placement for English speakers. (Our eyes tend to start at the top left corner of a page). What is the general theme of your book, if it doesn’t spoil anything?

@trahia-the-minstrel

Good, that’s what…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel

Wow, both of those are so good! I love the style! I already want to read your book just by looking at the cover. I like the expressions on the faces of the characters. It makes it look way more interesting. The titles are great too. That’s all the feedback I have. I think just add some color to those pictures, and they’re…[Read more]

Here is a collage I made for HOGHOS (wow, that acronym is awful). It isn’t at all like my cover idea, but it has a similar feel.

Wow, that’s cool, @keilah-h! I like the vibrant colors. The illustration in the book is only black and white, so it’s nice to see it in color. I actually always thought his feathers were white or something, I didn’t realize they were grey like that.

@trahia-the-minstrel

That makes sense. I think it will too, once everything’s filled out.

That would be a fun workshop! I know it takes a lot of work to get all that right in any type if art. But it’s so rewarding…

I’ll have to put it on here as soon as it’s done. Thank you for sharing yours!

@trahia-the-minstrel

Good layout. I would move the Prince of Walfklau scroll up to the top of the page (if that could be done without blocking any of the cover details. Then again, I don’t know.) Otherwise I think those look great! The sense of distance and plains is right as far as I can tell. I like the depth, with your angles lining up. Um,…[Read more]

No, those are great Christmas movies! My siblings still watch Veggitales Christmas movies.

@abigail-m

It’s fine! =)

@annabelle

I think it ate my tag.

I’ll have to do something like that… Soon.

How long have you been writing verse? My first ‘poems’ were practically sets of rhyme and meter with nothing much in the way of meaning. They were TERRIBLE!

Maybe that’s why I don’t like jellybeans.

Ooo, that’s hard. I’ve read so many good books. Maybe Myles and Gascone from Men Of Iron, Shasta,…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon Ha! I love those lines! They’re witty!

Hi, @koshka!

Ugh, I know how that is having so many story ideas and not being able to complete any of them. I’ve had that problem for many years, and just recently I decided to sit down and FINISH a book. I just had to keep myself determined.

Yeah, my poems are pretty direct, and I think they’re more of rhymes than poems because they don’t use…[Read more]

@anatra23
I actually don’t use online courses. Basically, I just pick out a song I want to learn and print out sheet music for it (or learn it by ear, depending on if I want a specific arrangement or not.) I do have a few books that I use too.

@annabelle
Hello there! I am Koshka, or at least that’s what I’m called around here. *gasp* Another Homeschooler… Hi!
You are publishing your first book? Awesome! I have yet to complete ONE of my many story idea, so not even close to where you are.

I love poetry too, both writing and reading.  My verse is rarely as direct as your Reading Poem.…[Read more]

Is this better?

Here voices scream, ‘You’re still in pain,

This Dream and Hope are all in vain.’

@abigail-m @anatra23

Thank you! My verse is just starting to feel right, if that makes any sense.

The voices are saying that. Would removing the punctuation clear that up, or do I need to do something else?

(YES, the author appreciates it very much!)
