Good luck!

Barnes

Barnes skimmed her hand over a cluster of flower bulbs on the pavilion. They looked more familiar to her now than at any other time- maybe because of how their colors grayed by moonlight. “I’m looking for a way back to my city. But I don’t want you to get lost too. You should find your way back before that happens. Not to say…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon

I’ll keep working at it then 👍

(Haha, that’s how it is sometimes. Especially when you have a project you don’t have the bandwidth to pick up for large amounts of time.)

@loopylin

Barnes

Mel didn’t shiver from the cold at all, and her coat wasn’t wet; she bit her lip and studied the garden as if she owned the place herself.

“No. I’m trying to get out of here, actually.” Barnes adjusted her mask by grabbing the chin and pushing up. “Do you mind telling me why you’re here?”

Guys, my story snippet got chosen for critique for Crazy Editing Week out of a thousand people!! I’m very happy.

@rae

Yep I meant the wall to be more normal on his side, I should have clarified.

@loopylin

Barnes

“I’m Barnes. What’s your name?”

@rae

AH, I love the glowing effect!!

Your stylization has gotten a lot more confident and you’re so patient with the coloring! The color choices are also very nice and complement each other. You may say otherwise but I say this is a rousing success. *Stamp of approval*

@loopylin

Barnes

The light hurt Barnes’ eyes. Once she figured out it came from a little girl and not a monster, she rubbed her eye with a hand under the mask. “I… don’t think so. I should hope not.”

The girl had messy hair and a coat with many pockets. She held a stick in her arm. Her gaze twinkled with both curiosity and suspicion.

“Where…[Read more]

@loopylin

Should I rp her finding Barnes? Is that what we’re doing?

Yep, that was my thought! I have to go to bed, but I’ll get back to this when I can.

I love the statues btw

We needed some aesthetic statues. :]

@keilah-h

I have no idea how to use models like that, so I can only imagine what it’s like to figure out the rigging and everything. Well done!!

@rae

I’m sure it’ll look great

@loopylin

I remember that doodle. Last time I saw it was at least a year ago.

@loopylin @rae @the_lost-journal

Just reread Mel’s scene to make sure everything is in order, and the garden shears crack me up.

Barnes

Everywhere Barnes turned, the maze refused to behave. When she stuck her hand in a wall – a last ditch effort to part the plants – a hidden rose bush got in the way.

The thorns stung, and Barnes could do n…[Read more]

@loopylin

By the time I get home from work, it’s always about 9pm for you guys 🙁

It’ll work, no worries. How old is Mel, by the way?

I am now sorely tempted to send a random character into the early 2000s.

@the_lost-journal

Whatever you want to do.

@rae Alright, we wait on Loops for her opinion then!

@loopylin GET OVER HERE

@keilah-h

But whyyyy though, lol. I just got an idea to make the process more interesting, so at least there’s that.

@rae @the_lost-journal

Y’all should tell me what you want to do, and we can go from there. Maybe Barnes picks up Mel while looking for another way back.

Guys, I’ve only painted my character’s face so far and I don’t want to do the rest. It looks pretty good, cute even, I just don’t want to do the work.

It’s at times like these where I simultaneously am in love with and despise my hobby.

@mineralizedwritings

They didn’t use numbing after all. 😆

@rae @the_lost-journal

Hehe, magic

Barnes

For the first time since she had entered the maze, Barnes shivered. She touched the plaster wall, which looked out of place in the foliage, and traced the faint remainder of poster paper stuck to it.

“I know this wall,” she murmured to herself.

After a few minutes of aimless pacing, coming up to the…[Read more]
