The Art of Life

Okay, I'm sorry. I know I said I'd post every week but the pictures took me ages and I may or may not have forgotten how long a week was *cough* Oh, and these designs aren't finalised, as I don't like some of them. The characters will pretty much stay the same though, cos they're pretty much done.. But yeah. It may still be a few weeks/months before I start, because after I finished the picture of my characters I realised how shockingly bad my drawings actually are, so I need to work on that. But yeah. Here's Nixie Black, our protagonist! In case you can't read my horrible handwriting, Nixie likes Shakespeare, Jane Austen, friends, memorising lines and acting (If she can). She also dislikes Cars, bothering people unnecessarily and people who willingly hurt others. She's about sixteen. I hope you guys like it! It's not the best drawing I've done, but I think it's one of my favourites when it comes to the characters that ...

Hey guys!! Thank you for the positive feedback; I'm going to go ahead with the comic! It may take me a while to prepare, however. I have to design all the characters, decide what formats to use, etc. I didn't realise until I started to get serious about this comic how bland my characters were, lol. I'm working on it - I want what it's about to be a surprise, but I can  put up some stuff that I'm working on, about the main characters... I'll do that at the end, because I'm evil -w- So, something else I wanted to discuss; I'm considering writing short stories again .D. Not like, a few paragraphs long, like my other ones. Closer to one or two pages long. I've got an idea for one I particularly want to do, but I need to find my document where I wrote the idea down. I'll post it on here, if you guys would like? Oh! Also, I'll still be doing art dumps & requests (Geez, I've got a loott of drawing in the foreseeable future) Anywa...

Hey Guys! Sorry, I know I haven't been on at all in the past three (almost four) months. What's happened is; -I've gotten sick about twice now, -I also have been hanging out with a bunch of friends, -I've also also been skipping from one project to the next, cos apparently I'm incapable of finishing/starting anything T~T But I have an idea. An idea that may help me actually learn to get things done on time and be super entertaining for you guys. I'm working on writing and drawing a comic! I'm not going to spoil what it's about or anything, but I'm working on the story beats, character designs, etc. Hopefully it'll be actually good since I'm not all that good at some parts of drawing, and I'm looking for improvement all the time (sorry if my art style changes a bit, lol.) So, I was wondering if you guys would like to read it? I'd try to do about 3+ panels a page, one page a month, etc. It may be a leeettlle dark, I don't rea...

Hey Guys! Okay, so, I know I said I wouldn't really do short stories anymore, But, I did a Friday Freewrite - something I've mentioned in another post , and I decided that the first part of it was a pretty good short story. So, here you go! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I looked at the green door which had just appeared in the side of a hedge. I peered through its heart-shaped hole. Surely.. it didn't lead outside? But no one had been outside in centuries! I tried the handle.. it was unlocked. I glanced around; I wanted to be sure that no one was around to see me. If I was seen, I could die for supposed witchcraft. But I'd done nothing.. hadn't I? I looked back at the door. Maybe I should just leave, I thought. After all, if I was caught anywhere near this thing, I'd most likely be put to death. And even if no one saw me except Abigail or Janeth, I would be severely punished. If I just left, I would b...

Hey Guys! (I don't know why this is in the middle but I'm just gonna roll with it) This is my.. Wait what month is is? *Bleep* This is my March post! An art dump, but only with three pictures. Sorry xD So.. Here ya go! (NOTE: Three of these characters are NOT mine. The girl in the second picture, and the other two girls in the third picture are NOT mine.) For more info on this precious bean, see the last picture .D. Haha, this is from a roleplay me and my friend do.. My boy is the one on the bottom, and her girl is on the top. This one took me, like, 8+ hours. RIP. But I love these girls! .D. The reason why the shy girl on the far right (Adley - my girl) has loads of tattoos is that one of her super powers is she can summon anything she draws as long as it's close by.. So she drew on herself. So, Yeah! These are my pictures for now.. For now.. I'll probably post another art dump soon (Or more pictures at least) So, ...

Hey guys! I thought that, because they were really popular last time, I would do more funny stuff! So here some are! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mum: *opens the Blinds* Me: AHH NOO HISS THE LIGHT IT BURNS *Rolls off the bed onto the hard wooden floor* *Stays there for a bit, then bursts out laughing* Video: *Makes a Pun about Kelp* Me: *Yells* YES! THE PUNS ARE ALIVE! Psy: Friggen was the curse word used by the ancient norse Me: That's Helarious Psy: You sure know how to dress Loki Psy: We're Thorrible [Plotworld]Friend1: Where are you friend3 [Plotworld]Friend2: In the nether. [Plotworld]Friend2: Lied. Friend: If this is about last night, this is stuipid Mum: Why does my mouse feel funny? Me: Maybe it's having a silly day? Dad: D'you wanna hear a story about a dying mobboss? Psy: You mean Grandad? (Grandad was not actually a mobboss) Psy: Dad is a boy Psy: But Mum is a /man/ Little cousin ...

Hey guys! I GOT TAGGED! Somehow. Even though I don't post much. Thanks Slissy! Alright, here we go: 1. How many books are too many books in a book series? If each book is a different adventure? About Five. *CoughCoughBrotherbandCoughCough* But, if the same story continues through the whole series, as many as they make! 2. How do you feel about cliffhangers? I love them, except when you're forced to wait for AGES until the last bit comes out and/or you find it at the Library. If you love cliffhangers, read The Last 13.  It's a relatively good series, but there are soo many books and the books are so short. 3. Hardback or paperback? I like both, but we usually get paperback. 4. Favourite book? *Internally screaming* These are the ones that come to mind; Princess of the Silver Woods - Jessica Day George Appendix Man - Angus McNeil (First ever Aussie Superhero!) A School for Good and Evil - Soman Chainani Percy Jackson - Rick Rioden. I can...

Hey guys! Here's an art dump! I recently took photos of, like, 35+ of my hand drawing, so I'm gonna pick my favourites and put them up .D. So here we go! (This is based off of an idea I had .D.) (Sorry this is blurry!) (Ahh! Overrals! So cute <3) (This is me!! .D.) (One of my favourites) (So cuttee!!) (Okay, so this is one of my Roleplay Characters, Nova. She has a really tough time in the story - Her father left when she was two, her wrist gets broken by the baddie, the Baddie says he'll kill her like he killed her father, he almost kills her mother, etc. She's a Mutant - A Half-animal person, who has powers and stuff. Her Mutant is a Kitsune Fox, meaning her powers are Spitting lightning, shooting fire out of nine tails and illusions.) (This is Izzy, from the same story as Nova. She's a bubbly girl and she's really happy, although her "Power" is bad luck. She can hone it occasionally, but...

Hello!! I'm sorry that I haven't posted for a while (Understatement of the year ), BUT! I have a new idea. One that could maybe revive this blog. .OOO. Okay, so as I (think? I) said in the last post, I'm not as inspired to write as I am to draw. I don't really want to be a writer anymore, but I want to draw / write comics (Or Manga). And so it comes to this. My idea is, that I will draw the characters you guys submit! (If you want to. You don't have to, it's just a suggestion so that I get a little more practise and so that you guys get a picture of your character! .D.) So if you want to do this, the information I will need is; -Name -Age -Gender -Species -And any other info you can think of (Like Personality, clothes and theme-song) Like I said, you don't have to do this, and if you don't, that's Oki .D. But I don't really have anything else to put up here, other than short stories and I don't really write them at the m...

*Hides* *Peeks out from my hiding place* *Whimpers* I'm sorryyyy! I haven't been on for ages, and I didn't really do anything during camp Nano (Including just talking), but we've been REALLY Busy lately, with going away a couple of times, having people come up to stay three times, starting to go to Art and Shakespeare every second Wednesday, and I've been dedicating a lot  to my Drawing recently (I might put up some stuff later .D.) But anyway, I'm really sorry I haven't posted for MONTHS! I've just.. kinda.. lost inspiration. Like, I do enjoy writing, but I'm currently enjoying reading & Drawing /more./ And we've been really busy, so I mightn't post for a while (Again, I'm sorry!) But to make up for it, I think I have Sufficient funny stuff to post. What do I mean? Let's go back in time for a minute.. So, ages ago (Like, a year or so ago) I read These two Posts ( Post1 , Post2 ) and decided to do something like it, cos the...

Sorry guys, I keep not doing it and forgetting ;-; But Hey! This is the next story! I'm just gonna back up a bit, this story has a story in and of itself. (Okay, I might've  had to do it for school. Mum asked me to write my own myth and or folktale, so this is what I wrote .D.) And now that that's done, here's the story! .D. My own folktale; The Miners Once upon a time, there was a group of Miners. They were very good friends, and they always had a good time, which made other miners envious. After a hard day’s work, they liked to sit in a Pub. This is where our story finds them. Do you see them there? The Five friends. They look quite Barbaric, but I can assure you that they are not. The one with the heavily smashed glasses that are, somehow, staying on his face, is the reader of the group. He knows more than the others, and educates them, much to their annoyance. So, there you have it. They are not Barbarians after all. And yet. This story is about to prove ...

I am so sorry. I have not posted on here in a couple of weeks (even though I said I would) Because I honestly forgot. I'm really sorry. But! To make up for it, I'ma gonna give you the next story - see if you can find out which one it's sequel to ;) I ached everywhere. A ringing filled my ears. I heard muffled voices. One of which I recognised. Jake…? I opened my eyes as much as I could. It took a lot of effort. I smiled. Jake always managed to find me, and rescue me from trouble. I closed my eyes and relaxed. The memory of what had happened flowed back to me; “Welcome home, Tori.” The man had said. I gasped. “Surprised? I wouldn’t be. You know why I’m here.” “I’m not going with you,” I growled. “I made that mistake before.” “Ah, but you see here, Tori.” He took a small thing out of his backpack. It was a little black box with a button. My eyes widened when I saw it. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath and opened them again. There were the numbers. ...

Hey Guys! So, I was Slightly panicky, as I had no inspiration and had no idea what to write, and then I decided to listen to music in order to inspire me. This is the song I listened to. My original idea was waay different to what I actually wrote, but I still think it's really good (And really sad). It's also my second(I Thinks) time writing from a Boy's perspective. So.. Yeah .D. Here 'tis! .D. (This story doesn't have a name yet, as I has no idea what to call it) I tore through the crowd, the weight of what had just happened heavy on my heart.   Would I ever see her again..? I pushed that thought out of my mind and ran as fast as I could to the place where the explosion had taken place. People were running and screaming the opposite way. Soot and dread filled the air, mixed with death.   Then I saw the place of the explosion. Everything had been blackened by soot, and there was fire still burning. Heart pounding, I started to shift some of the meta...

Hey Guys! So I was working on this new idea I have for a story, and thinking about what to write for my Short stories and then it hit me: I could write one of the Character's backstories as a short story for you guys. So, That's what I did (I had to name him first). It's a bit Bittersweet, but it's good (I think). Here it is: Jonathan’s backstory “Be Careful, Jonathan!” Mum called out. “I will, Mumma!” Jonathan tore through the forest, laughing gleefully. He didn’t know where he was going, but he didn’t care. He practically flew around and around. Then, he stopped. Standing in front of him was a little, blue person. “Smurf!” He cried out in glee, and reached to pick it up. The ‘Smurf’ vanished and appeared a little far off. Jonathan ran to grab it. It vanished again, and again, and again. The last ‘Smurf’ Appeared right next to a giant, golden, swirling thing. He went to grab it, but something tripped him. He toppled headfirst into the giant golden swirly thi...

Hey Guys! So, according to your guys' reaction to the last post I did, you really liked the idea of the short stories! (Which is even better since I had a sudden inspiration from a new song Psy discovered)   And here is the end result. (I'm sorry if it's not that good - I had to try writing from a boy's perspective from the first time ever, so I'm sorry if it's terrible) Tir na nOg. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw it; a blue spirit. It was quite short, but it was beckoning to me, a smile on its face. I hesitated. I knew what they were. The Wil o’ the Wisps were mischievous spirits, that were said to guide some to a great treasure, or certain death. I look back at the school behind me; I had no friends, I was orphaned. What was one more friendless orphaned boy to the world? They’d stopped caring long ago. I followed the wisps. As I walked, I wondered what they would show me. I’d explored every neck of these woods. I knew it off by heart. I’d had fr...

Hey Guys! So, I've been working on two stories - One my "A Child of Merlin" Story, one you'll see soon 😉 and I decided to put some snippets up for my Merlin story. So, here they are! .D. _________________________________________________________________________________ We walk into the central square. It is where the ceremony begins. I am excited, so much so that I'm sure that I've given it away. “It is time, once more, for the ceremony.” The Mayor, who has been filling in for the King while He's a child, calls out. “I will call out the Noble member of the Court's name, and they will be Chosen. Merlin!” I grin as my friends gasp, shocked. “That's what I couldn't tell you.. Sorry.” I wink at them. “Tristan!” It's my turn to gasp, as above Tanner's head appears a symbol. One appears above Mordaze's too. It looks like he is the newest member of the King's Court. “Lancealot!” Layne stands there, stunned, as the Sym...
