@claire-h, here she is again, with redder hair…and an altered color scheme to match.

@claire-h, here’s my portrait of Rubi. It was really quick, but hopefully it looks something like you imagine her. (I can make the hair redder, if necessary.)

@claire-h Yay! Fawkes was AMAZING (I especially loved the ending even though it was sad 😭). 😍 Have you read any other books by Nadine Brandes?

@claire-h, Rubi sounds like a lot of fun to draw! I’ll be sharing her portrait soon.

@claire-h Oh ymy gosh!!! Thanks you so much she’s so cute!!!!! *big hug*

I have one of your character collages done, and I’m working on a second. I should have it to you in the next couple of weeks!

@claire-h, I forgot to mention To Kill a Mockingbird. I love that book! (I knew I was forgetting something.)

Has anybody read any of Michael O’Brien’s books? A Father’s Tale, Eclipse of the Sun, Plague Journal, etc. They’re new to me, but I find I’m really enjoying them. Warning: O’Brien does not shy away from addressing some of the modern…[Read more]

@claire-h Yep, I also love picking up books at a bargain. Some of my favorite places are second-hand bookshops. Or any kind of second-hand shop (which usually has books as well).

Your story sounds like it’s going to be fun! Memory wipes – you’re going to have a blast writing it!  And yes, it is always difficult to know when to stop planning and…[Read more]

@claire-h

Your going to do some graphic design courses? So cool! I’m thinking of taking a degree in that!😁

@kristianne-hassman Thank you for the welcome! If you don’t mind my asking, which part of SA are you in? I’m in KZN 🙂

So I’m technically between projects at the moment. The one I’ve finished is for the back corner of the bottom drawer. I’m wanting to challenge myself to write a fantasy trilogy, and am planning to do the world-building and…[Read more]

@claire-h

That’s awesome!  I’ll hopefully take that elective sometime.

@claire-h

I’ll definitely look into ibispaintX.

If you’re up for it, I might have some other projects later on.  You might be kinda busy with other people’s stuff, so when you have an empty slot, I’d love it if you could do some more art.

This is a great skill for you to have later on in life!!

Thanks again!

@claire-h

  That’s perfect!!  You used Canva to make that??

Thank you so much, I love that!!

@claire-h *thumbs up* Awesome! And sorry for being so picky. 😛

Uh, you can just leave it without a name, cause Anne isn’t my real name and I’m not supposed to put my real name up here. 😛

@claire-h

Okay, so we can’t move him. XD

Could you maybe look for another picture of a guy? Maybe something less close up, like just a shadowy picture of a guy in a long coat, from the back maybe? Or if you can see the face, someone younger, maybe? The main characters is 20. If not, it’s fine as it is.

@claire-h Yes, the last one is my favorite! The font and the border look lovely!

Do you think maybe that you could try one with the guy moved down and to the left, maybe so his face is visible more and he’s not cut off? But still in the shadows? Is that possible, or not?

@claire-h @anne-of-lothlorien

Ooh and personally, I like the last one Claire sent… The border thing looks like it fits better. But that’s just my opinion 🙂

@claire-h

Ah, gotcha. Yes, ebook is fine 🙂

My target audience is young adult, and the overall theme/plot… *eye twitches*

XD Ok so let’s see. I really don’t think a ton about theme as I write, but I was researching theme the other day and so I can probably answer that question anyway 😛

So, Lucas has to get over his fear of loving people.…[Read more]

@claire-h Oooh, I love it! (Well, most of it) I hope I’m not being to picky, but there are only two things I’d like maybe a bit different.

The font and title… I think I’d like it all in one font, and something a bit more swirly and old looking, maybe.

The second thing is that I like the guy in the shadows, but he’s kinda blocked by the scrolly…[Read more]

@claire-h 😀 Thank you!

And I’m not 100% sure what the difference between ebook and “regular” or whatever is, so SURE!! XD Just whatever you usually do is fine.

@claire-h Ooh! I would love a book cover!

So… I have a few WIPs, actually… But this one is my baby. And I need to pull it out from the pile of dust it’s been sitting in and work on it some more XD

Working title: The Chronicles of Lucas McAsgain (I imagine the cover to have his name in a bigger font, with “the chronicles of” above it in…[Read more]
