    art of [insert all of my writing projects]

    WIP; trying to do a series of art using palettes I wouldn't normally use so that I don't end up a stagnant one-trick court jester... Also did something similar with gouache since I wanted to study the medium more in 2021, but I haven't scanned it since I'm lazy.

    This story of mine is like 90% about reconciling depression, trauma, hope and retaining kindness so I do end up liking a bunch of its lines...

    For February's Rain prologue inspired art I did while sitting thru horror game night with friends... Was mostly in the mood for a simple thing I could layer a lot Actual scene isn't like this at all but sometimes you just need to draw a sword to the throat, yanno?

    What do you do when your novel idea could be a great game?

    Do you have any experience in creating a game, or have access to a group with experience willing to develop one with you? If the answer is no, just write the novel. First thing is, better to do what you are capable of doing instead of chasing a distant, vague dream, and second, if it turns out...

    Fake genre "Historical"

    I find FADEX's point about site context to be really interesting. You're right in that I wouldn't really expect to find that many historical historical novels in SH, and specifically I wouldn't be looking for them here. This is a place where I wouldn't expect much fact-hunting and -checking in...

    Originally planned to be a watercolor piece but I messed up the watercolors so I just used a WIP photo to trace out the lineart again digitally... Honestly thought that I might be able to get away with posting this where my family can see, but I think it ended up too.... yeah. EDIT: Anyway...

    From the untitled project. A peach tree yao and the "ML"...? of the story. Honestly, as far as I can sense, MC and ML feel more like switches...

    I don't particularly like it, given that I had a bit of an art hiatus not long before I drew this a year ago, but designs for the four main characters in For February's Rain. The designs hadn't changed (much) per se, I just found the art really stiff LMAO In any case, character arts are mostly...

    Anyone?

    Though you might think they think it's negligible, a number of artists do find it disrespectful to use their arts for a public-facing things, even something as personal as a profile picture. It's not unlike someone taking your novel and slapping it on their Facebook as posts without credit. They...

    I already did that, haha. But lamellar is a style that encompasses a really broad range of both shape of plates and construction, and was used across different cultures across a pretty wide timespan. On Wikipedia they have references for Han and Nanyue styles, and more honestly, but due to the...

    Ao Wei, a character from the untitled project I'll never get to... Some time into the drawing phase, I realized I forgot to check the lamellar style of ancient Chinese armor and had to work it in late ? Could only find real references of the Han-style, too. I'm not dedicated enough to dive into...

    Writing How much time do you spend writing a chapter?

    My main story (ie. the one I actually like the most... I'm biased even towards my own children) is about 3.5k-5k words and if I'm lucky I get it done in 5-8 hours. If I'm not, I'm up at 3 am eating chicken katsu and one day late. Still writing. I have a once a week release schedule. (Is that...

    Updated first post with the other two projects I have simmering in the background... Looks like there's a limit to 10 pictures a post so later I'll probably start linking it unless I actually like it enough to feature it there LOL Otherwise, I'll just post it sporadically as I go... :blob_hmm...

    It's 2021, and in my general to-dos is basically a portrait of most of my current characters, just for reference's sake. Might as well post. :blob_hmm_two: In the interest of not uploading large files in a forum (because breaking the formatting sucks... I don't like it either), the thumbnails...

    Best Buy: Drawing Tablet - Please advice this poor soul.

    Yeah... Frankly speaking, having drawn digitally for years, in the end other than possible reasons like Cintiq's screen or small size giving you cramps, you can go far with the cheapest Wacom. I find that I don't come across problems where my immediate thought is "I need better quality tablet to...

    Best Buy: Drawing Tablet - Please advice this poor soul.

    I recommend the cheapest Wacom around (pen no touch, etc), especially given you don't seem to have any prior experience with tablets. Huion is good-- when it works. Depending on where you buy it, you could end up like me and drop $100 on one, end up with it breaking in a month and the seller...
