I tend to write free verse (mine has rhythm but no rhyme). My favorite poet is Tolkien, but I also like Brian Jacques and Andrew Peterson. I’m a fantasy poet fan 🙂

How about you? Do you have a favorite poet? What kind of poetry do you write?

Do you ever put your poems into your other storytelling?

@christieaton

Thank you!

I’ll try to share mostly typical art but maybe the occasional bit of fashion art here then.

I guess oils aren’t too bad, but the necessary supplies would be quite extensive. And you couldn’t just rinse off the paint from the brushes!

OOh a graphic novel! Sounds exciting. Landscapes and animals are fun too. I wish I was better at drawing characters… Eh. Practice. 🙂 Do you tend to draw wild animal or pets/ farm animals?

Once in a…[Read more]

Hi. I’m way late to this discussion, but I just wanted to pop my head in and say that I’m a poet too.

I haven’t tried oils either. They take a bit to get into, as I understand.

Gouache rocks. I like to use in combination with watercolor.

I draw nature, fashion, and geeky/fantasy stuff mostly. How about you?

Is this the creed or the anthem? It seems (reading through the discussion to catch up) that this was the anthem and we were going to make a creed too. Or just don’t mind the new girl on this thread XD

Hi!

This week I read about 550 pages of So Sang the Dawn.

I wrote very little, but came up with some new ideas.

@writerforever Thanks!

@the-fledgling-artist

Thanks! I have been practicing maps for a while.

I tend to try anything but my current favorite mediums are marker, acrylic paint, watercolor, charcoal, pen and ink, and pencil.

What do you work in?

What are three things you know about characters?

1- They have to be deep

2- They should exhibit the theme

3- They should drive the story

What are three things you’d like to know about characters?

1- But how  do you really accomplish the above?

2- How to create characters if you don’t understand people very well

3- If you never start with th…[Read more]

Hi! I’m new here. My name is Rebecca.

I’m a fashion design student. I also like to draw, paint, write, learn (or just work with or make up) weird languages, walking around in the woods, plants, and daydreaming.

Here is a map (I like to make fantasy maps) I made of Middle Earth.

Does fashion count as art here?

This is a sea monster/ pirate/…[Read more]

Not so good:

Shiv paused, and glanced down the white hallway. It was so different here than outside. So much cleaner and bright almost to the point of blinding. He shrugged. He wasn’t here to view the scenery.

He took several wrong turns before finally landing at the the door the he thought must be it. Shiv pushed it open.

“You have finally…[Read more]

Woohoo! Plot established! (unless of course the rest of the guild disagrees).

Who are the other characters? What are they like?

Does she have family? She needs a name (so we can start differentiating characters easier. we can always change it later if stuff changes). Let me come back with ideas.

Keaya, Faine, Krista, Jin, Kat, Dael, Bryka…[Read more]

Awesome ideas!

She could pick up the wildly cheery attitude from watching others, but only near the end of the book does she really understand it. Before then it is just an act.

People could slowly realize there was something not right about her cheeriness and then eventually figure out what it is.

She could realize that being sad all the time…[Read more]

It would create a very interesting story to combine bizarre humor (or maybe just make everything quite absurd) and also use your story idea.

Prose is my favorite, I’m so excited!

We could have a character that is super bright and happy, but it is shown that inside she is actually super cynical. Like bright and happy all the time except for…[Read more]

How do I participate?

Hello. I’m a new guild member 🙂

This world is really cool!

Steampunk and fantasy are totally my thing!

I have a few ideas to add:

what if there were living dragons trying to pretend they were ordinary mechanical (perhaps because in the past poachers hunted them for their scales, so now they are all but extinct and hiding)

Should we create…[Read more]

Sounds very cool! I’m pretty good at character concepts, not so good at the voice and making sure everyone has different personalities.

I like world building best, second to that, first drafts.

What about you?

@andrew

@andrew

I do use them, but most of my knowledge comes just from curiosity rather than direct research (I only have great knowledge NTs anyway). I’m also really bad with characters.

Yes I have been creating creatures!

One of my creations is the Evrue. Tall, shaggy with thin arms and large hands. They were accidentally let out of their dimension.…[Read more]

@andrew

Nice! That is a great setup. 🙂

@andrew Cool! That is a lot of siblings (fun though). In my family we have two INTPs (I am one), one ENTP, two INTJs (yes we have a unusual family of types), and I’m not sure about my other brother, though I know he is IS, though I would guess ISTP, or ISTJ.
