When I’m planning (which happens more rarely than I would like, lol) I don’t normally separate characters distinctly on paper (or a doc). I just kind of have them set apart in my head. For example, Ami’s and Ev’s families are all side charries. Dao and a couple other charries I plan to add in are also side charries. But for bac…[Read more]

@whalekeeper   Great question. Yeah I agree with Freedom. I have a character who is deaf, and I used that to show how he overcomes his disability and is able to help the MC’s perspective on life.

@booksbyjana I don’t think I’ve met you before!! Welcome to KP!

@whalekeeper WELLLLLL considering I keep DUMPING trauma onto one particular character in MY series I may not be the best to ask…

but I think it good. It doesn’t sound like too much to me. Especially not compared to what I’m doing to MY poor character…

I LOVE YOU NOVEMBER I PROMISE 😭

@godlyfantasy12

I will agree with @whalekeeper that organisation of your character sheets is personal preference. I also feel that while there are literary definitions for different types of characters, I personally feel classification can kind of be up to you because as authors we more need to determine the amount of character building necessary…[Read more]

Sounds interesting!!

But I may still have to kidnap him…XD #Protection Squad Forever#!! 

XDXD

@mineralizedwritings

Idk about dao, he seems interesting from what I’ve heard. Reminds me of Armulyn the bard from wingfeather saga. I personally don’t know how I feel about having a charac…

All I can think of when I think of an evil uncle is Uncle Andrew, but I did find one name. Caerwyn or Carwyn- Irish and Welsh origin, means ‘white fortress’. An identical name is Cadewyn, which means ‘white battle’.
You could also maybe mix up the letters of Reu or foil or some other key word to get a name.

@whalekeeper @mineralizedwritings @theloonyone @princessachronicle22

Thanks! I should do more art in this style. It reminds me of a children’s book.

Ok…

So I know not all of you have read my WIP but… I really really want to give away a spoiler. I refuse to tell my siblings. I want them to wait for it. XD But I’ll let y’all know…

So… Would you like to know?

@whalekeeper

Yes interesting question! I usually create the character first in appearance then personality and then I’ll draw them. A lot of the time I’ll add random details months after I finished, like Mayvee’s earing for example.

@gwyndalf-the-wise

XD sorry, go ahead and draw her in whatever outfit you imagine

@theloonyone @godlyfantasy12 @felicity @freedomwriter76 @princesachronicle22 @whalekeeper @loopylin

Ok so here’s some art of definitely not my character lol. I saw a sketchbook tour awhile ago with a lot of portrait art, and it inspired me. This is just some random guy off the internet I drew. Also so that you guys don’t think this came out of…[Read more]

@princesachronicle22
XD Sorta? I understand the earring, hairpiece, and jumper. The ‘two halves at her shoulders that connect that form pants’ is hurting my brain. XD I’ll try my best, but accuracy probably won’t happen.

@whalekeeper
Ooo, interesting question. For me, most of the time I have a visual of the character first, but usually it’s just…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Ok I actually saw you on cdubs too and was like, ‘wow somebody else has that pfp too!’ I think I just assumed the book series was at least a bit popular 🤣

I’m trying to think about that, usually it comes in two pieces if that makes since. For instance I’ll have a character with a appearance I like, or sometimes just an idea I’ll use…[Read more]

Awww, thanks everyone!!!! C:

Is the skin color something unique to her race? Or just the color palette you felt like using?

It’s signifigant to her race. They are very religous and they beleive they were born of the stars. And their eye’s change…[Read more]

Okay, sounds good!! I choose Fridays too :).

@keilah-h @lightoverdarkness6 @charityanne @elizabeth-hearten @orielle21 @princesachronicle22 @whalekeeper @landric

Alright.

It looks like 3 has gotten the most votes. But I know that everybody can’t do that. So I like what @elizabeth-hearten said. Some of us could do Fridays and the other half on Monday. That would probably work better.

So I s…[Read more]
