Indeed it has. From new games being released to finished manuscripts, it has indeed *cue wise sounding voice* a long week.
Good news folks. The first draft of Peacekeeper's Essence has officially exceeded it's original word count goal, 80,000 words! By the time it's finished, it could well reach 90,000. Here's hoping I can finish by the week's end.
Today I'm going to try a new take on blogging. You know, I've been talking about trips and some things over the summer that have been exciting for me. I have a Facebook. I might as well do that there. So where does one go from here? Well... I have been growing with knowledge about multiple things. Why not share that with the rest of the world? Can one not share one's love for art and writing?
Actually, I'll be buying a well-recommended manga drawing guide within the day. Sometime within the next couple of weeks I could write a few posts on drawing faces or something. It's just a thought. I'm just trying to figure out my main media with art. I have my graphite drawings (requests are open) and then I'm just beginning to get into manga art. This branches off my love for digital art, although it's more of a stretch since I never got it straight off the bat like I did with graphite.
...
Okay, I failed miserably with pencil when I started out too. It's surprising what two years of free time will do to you, between video games and books of course.
So, in interest of talking about my story for once, I decided to make some bios for some recently made characters.
And they are...
Gravis and Lucian. Two brothers tied at the heart yet polar opposites. I later realized they were a lot like me and my sister. *shakes head* I need to find other people to base characters on for once. Putting their history behind us, these two are very intelligent. They're also Skreeks (a upright walking griffin with no wings ect.). Both have brilliant emerald eyes.
Gravis is the older, harsher brother. He's always had to watch for his innocent brother so he tends to have a bossy tone. Unfortunately for everyone else he comes in contact with, he takes it upon himself to know more than anyone else. Especially when he has that huge beak of his crowding into other people's conversations due to his... obsession with fine conversation. I have to pull up an online dictionary when I write dialogue for him. Oh Gravis you are so difficult sometimes...
And Lucain. I just wanna squeeze you for being such a bundle of sweetness. This little drop of sunshine loves to read books. Medical books actually. Ever since his brother had an accident some years ago he dedicated his life to be a doctor of natural medicines. He's pretty socially awkward since he was only around his brother for so many years of his life. Oh man... And he has a crush on a pretty little thing called Crest. You can imagine a bookworm like him trying to talk to this shy girl. It's making me cry and laugh at the same time! How can you not notice him Crest! He's too adorable to resist! No one can resist that pout! C'mon! What, are you blind girl?
Sorry. Got kinda in touch with my characters for a moment. But that's good. Get in touch with your character's emotions, the little things that set them off and everything. Draw them. Dream them. Then like a puzzle those little details will soon piece a new creation (don't forget to bring a pen and paper where ever you go *wink*). And in this case it would be a pair of brothers who nobody would dare to think they were related.
