The Fledgling Artist

Avery never saw the massive beast coming. A gust of frozen wind stung his eyes and before he could blink them into focusing on the creature it slammed into his chest.

The blue lizard spread its leathery wings out, pushing Calexia away from its prey before slamming its scaly paws down, tearing at Avery’s tunic and pressing into his arms.

Ya oops?? Should I give a status update??

STATUS UPDATE:
The story is coming along pretty well. As of now, we’re working on getting a finished outline. Most of the story details/and brainstorming have already come to us, so now it’s just a matter of putting all the pieces together the best way we can haha.
Each of our characters is a lot more…[Read more]

Are you serious DVD? I’ve never ever (like ever???) heard anyone say that Christopher was the best.

@sarah-inkdragon OF COURSE ! Just a warning it gets really crazy there. Lots of screaming. *nods*

@trallion Heyy! Look who got around to saying hello. 😀 😀 I didn’t know you were a composer! That’s so epic!
(I’m an INFP too! 😉 But I’m a T not an A haha.)

* w e e p s *
I’m so sorry I feel like I completely abandoned you
I’VE BEEN DISTRACTED OK?
like, where is this going? what is happening? what should I do? Is there a resolution/goal in sight?? Should I write some more of Avery being a sad confused little bundle of feelings? Should everyone poof back home? ARE THEY GONNA GO ON AN…[Read more]

Aye, speaking of our art conversation I comPLETELY FORGOT I WAS GONNA TRY TO DRAW SABRE FOR YOU
*whispers* i’m s o sorry

Yo, I’ll try to do sometime before the end of this next week. <3
(if you still want me to?)

Ooh, that’s cool! Recycling characters is great, ’cause the stuff you’ve already put work into doesn’t go to waste when it didn’t work out! 😀 *Having to trash ideas would be so mu harder if you couldn’t reuse them elsewhere. xD*

BTW don’t apologize for not knowing how to explain your feelings. That’s pretty normal since they’re such confusing little things xD

Aaagh, okay, honestly that’s something I struggle with SO much. Like, knowing the difference between what God is telling me, and what I think/want/or don’t want God to be telling me. Idk if that’s what you’re saying, but if it is I can relate.
Something that helps me when I’m in crisis mode trying to figure out what on earth God is actually…[Read more]

Aww the princess is adorable <3 <3 And Ryul looks like such a fun kid!

@sarah-inkdragon Aah! Can’t wait! 😀

@trallion That would be totally fine with me!!

@april-j-rhys SKY SQUAD!!!! YESSS. I feel so legit now. xD
I’ve never done a discord but if it’s more organized than the google hangout I’d be all for it haha.

As for roleplaying if we can make it work with timezones and stuff that’d be great too! I do agree with David tho that we might wanna have our scenes outlined beforehand tho? We wouldn’t…[Read more]

Okay, you have a deal my mutual tackle-glomper xD <3

I’m gonna write up a proper reply to you when I can, but for now, just know that I’m praying for you a ton. (Hopefully tomorrow I can get my thoughts typed out)

@h-jones Hey Grace. I guess I’m doing good. I definitely think I’m at a better place than when I first asked for prayer, but it’s not like everything just changed overnight, or over the last few weeks, or however long it’s been. I still feel so discontent to be here, but I’m finding out that maybe, feeling this way isn’t entirely wrong. It…[Read more]

When you think about it tho, aren’t all of our characters dead?
I mean, no matter how you look at it they’re dead.

A. They were never alive, to begin with because they’re figments of our imaginations
B. If they don’t die in their stories they do die eventually anyway, so by the time you read the book the characters are already dead
C. yep

Can I…[Read more]

*dumps art from all of last week*

(Post comic concept art)

Our chill music child Clarion.|

Try’na figure out how to draw Charlotte… (Her outfit is completely wrong but oh well)

Kisette!!!!!!11 *shrieks*

LIN SDFGHJK THIS TURNED OUT SO AMAZING *the second to last panel is so perfect I can’t express it*

@i-david Honestly we haven’t talked about it much since you left the chat. Wop. I think my preference is Sky’s the limit, but  as established earlier I have commitment issues xD

*Pokes head in*

Hey all, I love all your thoughts (and I absolutely loved the podcast episode, as usual). I don’t really have anything to add here, but I do have a question. Maybe it’s a dumb question, or maybe it’s surprisingly deep, I don’t know. Regardless, it’s a question I’d love to hear your thoughts on.

So, in your minds, what separates…[Read more]

I must agree with what Sarah and Lin said. I think tracing is a great way to learn if someone is too scared to start drawing without tracing, and of course, it’s just fun. And a super important part of making art is enjoying the process. I think if you’re tracing for those reasons, and not, to pretend you’re someone you aren’t and like, make money…[Read more]
