Thorin Oakenshield from The Hobbit.

My thank you replies! the conference is over now and it went great! I got leads for both my writing AND my illustrating, so that's pretty amazing :) I have a lot of work to do before Threadcaster gets picked up, but its valuable work and I'm ready to do it. 

As thanks to all those who drew me encouragement art, I drew trades. Only 

symbioticquixotictectonics  gave me a ref to her OC so I drew hers yesterday. The rest of them I drew today just for fun. They're really sloppy, but it's the thought that counts!

  King Leo for sassydetective

The recently featured "Relaxed Spine" for notfeelingsilvermachine

PW1 from amuseoffirebane 's recently posted headcanon. This is actually my first Peter Walter I ! I love his hair. 

And sukikobold's favorite character from The World ends With You! Although he looks horrible.

I wanna draw Threadcaster art. I want Threadcaster to be a published book soooooooo baaaaaaad. I want other people who love these characters as much as I do.

What's your best advice to people who aspire to be authors but have the attention spans of small goldfish and can't concentrate on one story for long enough to finish writing it?

My best advice is to become a fangirl of your own work. Pick a favorite character, come up with some crack ships, draw fanart and write fanfic, compile huge photosets, make it a pintrest page, blend a themed tea, enter the character into a roleplay, share your story with your best friend, look up some story prompts and post the drabbles online… Your characters and story will only improve with the imagining, and the things you create will help build your internet platform.

There’s definitely a passion an author has for their work, but it’s the passion the fan has that keeps us entertained, and the engagement is what will bring you back to writing. When you love something, others will feel it come through, so love your work with all your heart in every way you know how!

 symbioticquixotictectonics said: Zephyr is my favorite. That’s one of my more common screen names/game character names. And that character design is spectacular, I love that face. Clever, too. Zephyr is a wind and Aiden means “little fiery one.” I see what you did there.

Oh yeah, everyone's punned out like that, even the peripherals. When Cat and co get to Fire Town everyone there has a name with fire meaning: Aiden, Ildri, Edana, Nina, Tyson... all except Kory who I named after my childhood best friend. Even Cat's not immune. I named her after Cat's Cradle.

 symbioticquixotictectonics said: That’a a thing to be proud of. Kids are still reading HP. And if they’re not, they are reading things about magic and/or inspired by Rowling’s style. Trust me, I used to sell books ~~~.

 raptorix said: I think it’s okay to maybe not have any interest or connection with most YA novels right now. Might mean that your novel(s) might stand out more. ;) Don’t forget that there are still some classic YA novels that kids still read, even older than HP ~~~ Threadcaster was dismissed by an agent today because /I/ wasn't 'well enough read in my published genre. It struck me pretty deep - like I'd betrayed my closest friend through negligence. I enjoy YA because of the adventure and the innocence (although it's getting racier every day), I don't enjoy YA because I like teenagers. Some would tell me this means I need to write a different book, but I wrote the book I wanted to write... I wrote a book that would make an awesome cartoon! It's not my fault it fits the age range. :(

[jenniferstolzer]

Thanks you guys, I read all your notes and you were so encouraging and so nice. It all kinda got to me at once... so I went to see a movie and now I feel a bit calmer. At least I know I'm never alone in this thing.

symbioticquixotictectonics said: Both. The picture views over the you that you drew’s shoulder as she looks at a tiny photo of yourself.

That is a complicated russian doll of a picture on a very very tiny canvas :)

symbioticquixotictectonics said: I had to put my game playing on hold because finals :( I miss it.

I know, I feel ya. I wish I had time to play games again. I've played the beginning of the game so many times b/c I keep restarting it then running out of time to play. I guess it'll be LPs for me for a while longer.
