Likesac redid the eyes to more accurately depict what her eyes change like. There could be a bit more green in there, but it's pretty good. =)) Likesac does a good job at working with me. I updated the image in the novels, but I'll keep the other style up too if you enjoy it.

Sora shivered as a chill radiated through her body. I might not always have my mom or aunt … I’ve lived all my life thinking I had to live without them. It’s not fair, but I guess that’s why she’s teaching me all this … life isn’t fair.
“Oh, my adorable little niece,” Inari sighed. “I wish I had my mother; life is full of regrets and lost dreams, but still we move forward. Life isn’t meant to be easy, fun, or happy; lif...
2019-05-10 18:17:25 +0000 UTC View PostI was talking with some of the members on discord and one person posed a suggestion that maybe the $5 patrons could vote between different Mythickin or other types of people they want in the novel. I'd get a few suggestions and pose it to a vote. I'd like to reward you guys for supporting me; let me know what you think would be appropriate!
I can work just about anything in. I just need an idea for what you guys want. It could be a Banshee or Werewolf or anything...

Edit: I replaced it with a darker shaded version Likesac sent me to better define the arms so it doesn't look like it's blending in with the wing. =))
Another beautiful piece of art by Likesac. This is when she's about to roast that poisonous black smoke guy when she was caging him with Wind Prison. I'll insert the image into the novel in a bit and that's just the start of the inferno, it get's much bigger in the novel.

Edit: Likesac made some adjustments to the picture.
Likesac just messaged me his Maria Commission. I'm working on getting the next chapter of TO now that my family has been taken care of and I'm heading back to work; thank you all for the messages of support in Discord and PM's. I posted the Background resolution image below.

2019-05-06 18:00:30 +0000 UTC View PostAuthor Note: Alright, I've decided I need some time to work out some things in my life. With my grandfather having issues with his gallbladder and taking a bit of time away to help him, it ended up causing me to have my work schedule flipped around, and I've been working a bit more because of that (I was already working a lot xD). I'm going to have to take some time to write several chapters ahead. That way even if I have to take a sick day or something that I'll still...

Enjoy ^_^7 I'm hanging out with my brother so it may be a little bit before I post ATM's next chapter. I still need to write it, but it's at a point where it's not that hard to write 3,000 words for a chapter. Once i'm done hanging out with my brother I'll head home and get to writing. I got off work, saw a movie with him and my brother and now hanging out for a bit.

Man ... I'm really having to try and figure this stuff out. Trying to figure out what I can offer as rewards for people to join. I was discussing the art with a fan of TO and it's makes sense to have all the art free ... you could even call it advertisement.
With my grandfather being sick last week and me taking off some time to help him it has really thrown my schedule for writing out of the window. I've been talking with some fans through discord and they want me to ...

Sora swallowed nervously, shifting to view the four humans in her Core. “Who—wants to go first?” Everyone was silent, but she could feel their emotions radiate. They’re all anxious to see their families; each of them has a level of reservation … but only Wendy wants to skip it … I understand why. She pursed her lips. The adults all feel like they should go last though and all of them think Wendy should go first … they...

Helena paused, shifted to lean against the wall to not impede traffic. This will be quite troublesome. Sevilla already seems to have a decent opinion of me which will pique her interest when she realizes I’m after something in her faction. I need to know more about Rean to give an acceptable explanation and lay out the plan to Esther, then there’s the issue of why all the higher ranks above me allowed me to act in such a way; Esther will expect a strateg...

Note: For some reason, I ended up writing this before finishing up Fiona's chapter. I don't know why I felt like writing it. Tell me if this wraps up the Ethics discussion of the last two chapters. Does this seem like a good place to get onto the next step?
Edit: I ended up adding a more solid discussion about the shadow of Jungian philosophy in the latter half of the chapter. I ended up writing about 2k more words in the chapter, making ...

Okay, guys, be honest with me. What are your thoughts?

Sora couldn’t help but feel a mountain drop on her shoulders. “What do you mean, I’m going to help?”
Her aunt chuckled. “Sora, I told you before, I am only an intellectual construct of your aunt; I hold no real power. I can guide you, but you must be the one to act out the instructions.”
She swallowed nervously, shifting to look...

Helena entered the room, the automatic door closing behind her. Peter sat in an armchair by a warm fire, another chair tilted toward the fire opposite him. He stared into the flames, face unreadable, but his bioelectricity told her that he was nervous. Quickly scanning the room, she found it as expected, empty; there were bugs in the room, so she created static to disrupt their feedback. She walked over to the armchair and sat; crossing her legs, she waite...

Helena passed by several people as she continued to the mess hall. I have four members within my team, and I assume I’ll have a time designated for training them; however, it stands to reason they’d still put us to use in some other manner. Olivia seems like the efficient type and would run the Purists in that manner. It would need to be something worth an SOP squad, but nothing requiring a massive operation, especially with how incompetent my team is. &...
2019-03-15 11:43:20 +0000 UTC View PostOkay, so, I revised the chapter. What do you think, Nathan? I'll try to unpack and lighten the ethical talk ... I mean, it was pushing my thoughts when writing it. Now that it is written, I can try to unpack it and simplify it.

Helena opened the door, reception active; the room was large with a few square tables. Other than the tables, the room was relatively bare. She got her first look at the four people she was in charge of; two boys and two girls sat around a table. Her eyes were instantly drawn to the metal each of them wore; both boys had steel chain necklaces, the brown haired girl had steel bracelets, and the black-haired girl had steel studs in her ears and a nose ring. ...

Sora’s vision focused on a gray-furred Vulpes as she nodded rigidly. Olivia’s voice was soft spoken. “If—that’s what you’ve decided.” Her white dress was fitted but showed a few rips that had repair work done and there were three blue stripes on her sleeves.
Mimi’s yellow irises locked on Sora. “I will have Olivia guide you back tomorrow at the appropriate time.”
She nodded. “Thanks, Mimi. I—this is a difficu...

Helena examined the tundra below from a Hoverfly window. I wish I could have stayed long enough to see Belesis, but it’ll take at least a week for her to heal, even as a Biokinetic. What will she think when she wakes up? Hopefully she’ll stay at her post and not follow after me … I understand why she’d devote so much attention to me, being from a Branch Family, but this is a different world. So, New Genesis will be my starting place; I should b...

Sora took a deep breath as they entered the town. There were quite a few humans and Vulpes hauling carts of fruit, grain, and vegetables down the streets and empty carts moving the opposite direction. Sora recognized wheat, onions, carrots, tomatoes and pears, but there were quite a few she didn’t have the vaguest idea about. There were a lot of booths set up with soup and bread around the area; people and Vulpes eating shortly at portable stations before retu...

Man ... I cannot figure out how to deal with alignment on here. So, this is the last chapter of The Helena Chronicles Book One. It is to propel to the next book and introduce a point of direction; Booker's betrayal (not accepting of new people; a lot of distrust within the faction now); Rean's circumstances (from when you met her at the beginning of the book from Helena's POV); and the hint of where she's at in connect with Helena. What are your thoughts?

Large stone pillars were erect on either side of the massive doors leading outside. When she left the warm sensation of the mountain to be embraced by the energizing sky, Sora couldn’t help but smile.
The surroundings were green and lush; it added a new type of energy that she’d only just realized helped her stay alert and focused. I think I felt this when we escaped. &nb...
