Lovely work! :]

@ericawordsmith No prob! XD An OYANer is someone who did One Year Adventure Novel (and probably joined the forum, went to workshops, etc.) I asked because “Wordsmith” is a very common OYANer term to describe someone with a…[Read more]

YES! *fistpumps and explosions* The WHOLE SQUAD IS COMPLETE! πŸ˜€ So glad you’re still gonna give it a go, Lamplighter! I really enjoyed reading Charlotte’s description and I think she’s gonna fit in super well. XD (Also, please feel free to let Charlotte hate on Velour all she wants. Actually, that goes for everyone. I will…[Read more]

The scene with the whales is gorgeous (love how beautiful and expressive all their faces are) and I hope we can keep it! Like the world-building sketches as well (THE HAND with the STONE O.O), and your…[Read more]

It’s so terrible, that I’m not sure I should even mention it. But I was thinking about the picture you did for the villain and SHOULD he kinda like Gisettte? O.O I know we wouldn’t want to go anywhere weird or adult with that for this type of project, but looking at his wings reminded me of Kester. Almost…[Read more]

Poor Gisette, really like her face and the way she’s leaning back. Yeesh. O.O

Velour would totally serve that guy. He has cool wings.

Oh my, thanks, ya’ll! πŸ˜€ You guys are super encouraging! I’m happy with how she turned out. She’s kinda cliche in design and perosonality, I think, but I like playing around with cliches, so hopefully the readers will eventually find her somewhat memorable. :-} So glad I can share this art…[Read more]

Okay, here are black and white paper sketches of what I’ve got so far. *pants* I’m going to color them in on my tablet and THEN I’m going to try drawing all ya’lls characters! :]

Let me know if you see anything that you think should be changed. πŸ˜‰ (Sorry for the lighting–it’s /terrible/. Hopefully I can…[Read more]

XD No, Velour loves music. Especially relaxing calm music. The only music she hates is off-key music. XP
Also, that boat is beautiful! πŸ˜€

@the-fledgling-artist Oh my, love the art dump! (May I call you Fledge?) Your version of Gisette is goregeous (and of course, Basil is still adorable. Great comic panels!). :}…[Read more]
