Okay, finally did some Fullmetal Alchemist fanart!! I’ll just tag some fans I know of on here 😛

(Thank you, Google, for giving me a reference :P)

@sarah-inkdragon I love that you brought up the perspectives on wars—that’s definitely a whole facet of representation. And while I take very definite sides in both those wars (actually, in every war we’ve been in), glorification and over-simplification of war are, and will probably always be, big problems in books. That’s something that needs t…[Read more]

@sarah-inkdragon I have to agree. In one sense, I understand and sympathize with other people’s fears (and understand that some people with susceptibilities have legitimate concerns). In another. . . it feels like I’m watching a sitcom. *still can’t understand why TP is such a big deal since it’s literally a respiratory infection*

@sarah-inkdragon *is basically feeling the same way* *my friend and I decided, TP is the new world currency*

@phoenix Ah, that makes sense. I tend to automatically recoil a little when someone mentions characters with depression, just because it does seem so romanticized in popular fiction now, which hurts the issue. But portraying it well could be helpful, if it was done right.

@sarah-inkdragon Jumping off what you said about depressed love interests,…[Read more]

@sarah-inkdragon Hmm. . . still say it would be an improvement overall. 😉 (JK, my brother’s public schooled, I can’t bash it too much. Still proud homeschooler though.)

@sarah-inkdragon Good thoughts!

(It’s not called reverting to homeschooling. It’s progressing to it. 😉 )

Dilemma: I’ve got conflicting feedback on my blurb. Some say I should change it, others that I shouldn’t.

I’m in search of opinionated people to help clear me out of this muddle.

Here’s what I had:

In the beginning, the Songkiller sang chaos into the fabric of the world. Now, he’s returning to finish his dark symphony…

Exton hunts to red…[Read more]

@sarah-inkdragon I don’t see it. 😬

@sarah-inkdragon

Thank you! That is helpful. I’ll keep working on that and incorporate it into my paintings. Ahh, that makes sense. I love vibrant watercolor pieces, so I’ll have to go back and see what I can do.(:

I’ve never gotten the chance to try out tubes, just blocks, but I’ll have to try it sometime.

Thank you for your help!

@sarah-inkdragon Blocks.

@sarah-inkdragon

Wow…that was a really good explanation xD

@sarah-inkdragon

You’re welcome.

@sarah-inkdragon

WOW! I totally agree with you!! 100% That’s really good advice.

Yo, guys!

I hired a blurb artist to make it smashing. He returned this exactly:

In ancient times, the Songkiller sang chaos into the world. Now, he’s returned to finish his dark symphony…

When heroes fall, they pick themselves back up. At least, that’s what the young adventurer named Exton was taught. But when he forges a daring plan to str…[Read more]
