23 Years old; I'm a writer and experimental painter, just recently started to learn how to draw (mainly cute animals XD)

I'm currently working on my Novel called The Divide United
Also keep a close eye out for my other novels that are closer to "done" that I might start posting soon (Just so much more protective of those babies)

South Korea: BEEF IS REALLY EXPENSIVE THERE. For some reason, eating scenes in Kdrama tend to show a lot of the beef lettuce wraps, but this is actually not commonly eaten, due to the exorbitant price of decent beef. Inexpensive ground beef products are VERY likely to contain pork, even when label…

Jeeeeezzz, I just looked up bunny chow and it looks as delicious as you worded it!

I learned that, apparently, I am on affectionate terms with the first lady of the United States: [image]

There are no accents, just entire vocabularies of mispronounced words. XD

(okay i know this is a day old but its an important subject) the advice 'draw from life' (different from realism) is used all the time, yes, but its not overrated - its essential. youre far better off listening to the many artists and art teachers who will tell you this, and later realising how es…

Raise your hands, everyone who can't bend all their fingers! \m/

oh and dont forget that date structure is different than american dates. we would say 7th November (7/11/17) as opposed to November 7th (11/7/17) Sorry OP if this is a bit of an information overload!

It actually reminds me of bart simpson :laughing:

Ha, well, I'm kind of the same way in that I wouldn't want to use my own name. I'm also feel really awkward about using names of people I know - I find it hard to focus on the character's personality as opposed to the real person, and I always worry that they might see it and think this character is…

I'm just happy I wasn't in one of the two camps this time =/, it's more fun to be an observer than a participate I tell you that XD

Same...I had some popcorn and coke while reading all of it.

I've only gotten discouraged when I have to do my other job more often than when I get to draw my comics or work on tabletop stuff. Kinda sad, but hey, it's what happens.

awesome! Thankyou! I sent an email answer and asking questions.

Haha thanks! It can be a bit hit or miss. Fun though.

Restore old YouTube something is missing something is broken something is harder to use I don't like the new design my reason isn't listed I prefer not to answer

Bahaha I started planning out my comic in the beginning of last year when I joined jazz band. I thought I was good at saxophone back then and was pretty much convinced that I would get into big band, but instead I was placed in jazz II (which is basically big band jazz but... with less experienced p…

I like playing with words a lot and sometimes i write short poems, but i don't think i'm that good. I guess they're just thoughts passing by! They might sound a little miserable ;v; sorry There it is again. When my skin cracks up Tar leaks and then In vain i hold a cup To fill it and poison myself …

I'm a crossword junkie and I occasionally turn the finished ones into poems as a hobby. The idea is that you've got to use as many words from the crossword as possible and you can't add or change them. You get weird stuff like: Suburban Narcissus STREETLIGHTs, badly formed like spring flowers, h…

Er Im not too sure if Freedom is classified as poetry. I try to use the technique to tell a story in a different way and just modify it as I go :sweat_smile: But hey I'll share it I guess! You can yell at me if it isnt defined as Poetry!

I loved the way you explained writing poetry - communicating with the emotiones themselves. Beautiful!

Same here when I started writing poetry it was after my Afrikaans teacher saw something in me and wanted to I don't know "teach" me something She got me involved in poetry by having me learn a poem off by heart to say up front on stage during a cultural festival in front of judges and ever…

I love poems, too, and I'm sure you've seen my collection, but I'll post it here: I find writing poetry relaxes me after a stressful situation, and I want to publish a book of poems one day.

It feels more like pulling out even more ideas than to flesh out on how to do descriptive better... :3 My personal philosophy of storytelling is to treat your reader like your lover. Here is my thing. I want to take you by the hand to see my thing. Look at this thing! How great is this thing! S…

Unpack, unpack, unpack.

wahaha i will >_< thanks for being a cool person :slight_smile: [image]

Whoa! the most interesting thing I've done so far is skipping school because I was sick. But it's cool that you'll never run out of ideas to write about, that's a great advantage to have :slight_smile:

Gotta love it when you can take old ideas and turn them into new ones.

I have to say that our Evotale collaboration started exactly the same way (random writers dropped one page of script, random artists picked something from the pile and implemented it) so I have a first-hand experience with that kind of collaboration and I can tell you that your implementation of it …

Yikes. So I've really been struggling with the pacing of my comic and I'm not really sure how to fix it at this point. It's so slow to the point where even I have been growing bored of it - which is annoying, since I kind of just want to get to the juicy bits. Does anyone have any advice or resou…
