Just A Child

[ time - 30min~ ]

"You may look like us… but you're just a scared child."

Ignore the grammar and butchered anatomy haha this was a super quick sketch. I have been wanting to upload more often but with my job, studies, and how crazy upsetting life is now I am quite stretched for time. I spend every extra moment I get on the project for this and no one is so much as getting a peek at that till its done! And when I'm getting stuck I cool off with a little ...

Status Update

So its been a minute since I've made any posts here. Since the first book is getting a rework I've kind of just overhauled everything I had, really going full out, and while its still not done and probably wont be for some more time here, I'm excited to see the response when it is.

I've reworked the script format it was in originally and turned it into a more standard 3rd person omniscient novel with illustrations right there alongside the text. I'm still working on the art as there is...

Characters Bios and Refs

Blurry image is just a preview, download the PDF for clarity.

Hey its been a bit since a WOP update and today is a special day so even though I'm still working on a lot, here is a snippet. This is a PDF file with clickable links imbedded in the pages. If it is blue you can click it. Also the pictures in the "quick gallery" can also be clicked or opened in a new tab with the middle mouse button.

This doc only has Jacqueline's page but as you can see in the glossary there will be m...

Same as before, a style update. 

(again, I may or may not use this to introduce her in the format update I've started for eps 1-12. I want to add character, environment, and beast art directly into the text. Gonna drop the whole book when its done then get back into the pattern of releasing new eps for critique.)

Jacqueline's Notes: Wulver

Person on DA reminded me of something I've been wanting to post. ^ 


An experimental screenshot from a Google doc. I can't give a lot of details about this, other than saying its origins will crop up in the story at some point. ^.^


I also wanted to keep the painting/sketch style of Umbral drawings instead of just using them for shirts or whatever, so this is one of those ways.

Drawing for Distraction

Well... My cat has cancer. He is 15 years old. I have only lived 9 of my 24 years without him. He is getting put down on Monday. I am drawing and doing literally whatever I can to keep him comfortable and also distract myself.

Have a "before shapeshifting" Jacqueline. ^.^ 

Seriously, think this (aside from sketches) is the only time I've drawn her as just human. The only differences are her teeth, pupil shape, blood, and soul essence but the last two listed aren't relevant ...

Which is the best text sample?

(The text in the PDF is from WINGS OF FIRE BOOK 1. I used this text to test story telling formats for comparison. I DID NOT WRITE THE SCENE USED ORIGINALLY. I DO NOT OWN THE TEXT USED!)


Look at the PDF and tell me which version you like most. Rate it based on the bottom page's info, or add more of your own thoughts too.
Please and thank you!


This is a follow up to my last post. I took a sample of text from Wings of Fire Bo...

Hey, I’m gonna bitch for a bit here.

So something has been bothering me for quite some time now and it's come into full swing since I’ve posted the professionally edited episodes I have done of Wolf of Penumbra. People seem to hate script format. Like actually vehemently hate it.


It's been incredibly demotivating to post something I've been working on for years and put so much love and even money into for people to literally ask me to re-write it. Yes, I’ve actually been asked on story sharing sites to “fi...

Quick Update

Between learning I have an incurable skin condition, loosing access to my antidepressants and such and my cat having a tooth infection so bad he isn't eating very much at all(he is scheduled for surgery which also has me worried cuz he's like 14~ years old and never been under general before), I have been so so very quiet. I only dip into my socials like once a week or so right now.


But I just wanna point out I'm still working on WOP regularly. Been posting more casual art of non WO...

Kids These Days

My babies!


Been meaning to draw the boys more and I also wanted to give a ref for their masks so I’m like, heck, a group shot sounds good. A scene like this is a more interesting shot than a ref anyway. 


Also, I know I haven't dropped an edited episode lately and honestly it's because I got super burnt out… The type of formatting I need to do gives me hand cramps and is just so exhausting. Don't worry tho, I’ve just been drawing and writing for eps...

Wulven Language Guide

Really wanted to give the non-English languages used in the story more personality than just (in Wulven) or whatever so I took some time to figure out how to get this in the actual docs themselves. It's literally pasting small pngs of every letter. Lots of work but it looks soo good!

Update

Hey~

It's been a while and 5 Saturdays since posting the final version of episode 3. I said I would stick to a schedule and failed to do so. Seems even if my health is on the better end life will still throw hurdles at me, and I am very easily disrupted. Following a schedule is one of the best ways to track growth/progress which is why I want to do it so badly, but even when I want to I still scramble it.

Pretty much I had to pack all my stuff and leave where I live temporarily wh...

Hiccup

Ep 4 should have been up a couple days ago but I got the files mixed up from the professional editor and ended up formatting the wrong one by accident… (Just 12 hours to redo lol no problem! XD) I should have it done sometime tonight if everything goes as planned. Sorry for the hiccup, it's still on its way! ^.^

View Post

Update

Gonna try to get ep4 up tonight or tomorrow. I wanted to have up to 6 out by today but as always formatting takes longer than I think. I blink and suddenly I'm 6 hours in and I haven't eaten yet that day lol.
