Am I gonna apologize for not posting? Ever? NAaaah. xD I rarely have time to draw while I'm away for work and when I'm home I'd rather MAKE STUFF. Even then I have to make annoyingly hard choices about what to work on cos I just can't do everything I want, weh

” tyuran said: I want to know everything! But I guess that’s… not… possible. No but seriously my familiarity with your headworlds is really low so a general overview would be nice (if that is even a thing that is possible and you don’t mind giving one)?”
Let’s see… I really only have about 3 stories (is that only or “only”?); also had some neat collaborations in the past that fell apart unfortunately.
My elfy story is called The Last Paladin (original I know, but it stuck). I started writing about it when I was 14ish and was obsessed with Zelda and Elfquest- I can’t really abide elves in most fantasy, they aren’t badass enough for my taste. Also all-beautiful all-immortal races are very annoying to me :( So I made the kind of elves I wanted to read about and draw- especially draw because POINTY EARS.
Errikan (chosen one, champion, world saviour, whathaveyou) is the title character. His sidekicks are Astral (bookworm, moral compass- the Hermione) and Naroth (cliche silent dark and brooding type); and his girlfriend is Lillia (a psychic priestess who sometimes comes along for ADVENTURE). They run around fighting evil, typical swashbuckling fantasy heroics.
I’d like to do some novels with illustrations (I had written quite a bit when I was younger but I scrapped it all cos it was terrible), and maybe an artbook as well. I was also really obsessed with Dinotopia when I was a kid so I’d love to do something similar. HOWEVER I’m not in a hurry to finish anything with this at all, it’s really a sandbox/playground to dump my art mojo.
My second story is about a seaplane pilot named Shae, the format of the titles were all going to be Shae Maxmason vs. _____ (The Bloodsucking Librarian, The Toxic Militia, The Human Neutron Bomb,10,000 Ninjas! Etc). She’s a courier on a mostly ocean planet with no continents so it’s plagued by super ultra hurricanes (Hyperstorms), but is otherwise kinda a beachy paradise colony planet. This is a pulpy junk-drawer manga-inspired story where I can just throw in lots of awesome things (ninjas, pirates, occult cults, worldwide government conspiracies, etc) and make it all fit because science fiction. And an excuse to have lots of people with ridiculous superpowers fighting all the damn time.
Shae has a secret (what? I can’t tell you, its a secret) (ok fine its a map on her body) that has tons of “special interest groups” fighting over her. She was sent a bodyguard from a shadowy organization called the Guild of Historians. That’s Felix (aka. Bloodsucking Librarian lol). He’s totally a vampire. Shae doesn’t know what the Guild’s plans for her are either, but she is forced to trust Flex because he keeps saving her life, how annoying.
I don’t know what to do with this story at all. In my head it HAS to be a tv show with a two season plot arc (I have it planned out and everything!) but… yeah…
Last story is my newest baby, I call it Amor Ex Machina (I will never not be gleeful over this title XD hee!). It’s… yeah… a girl/robot steampunk fairytale love story, leave me alone :p Edie is a mechanic in the royal military of a tiny kingdom who’s primary export is Giant Robots (of death). She finds discarded curious robot replica of a long-ago famous popstar (Casper) during one of her scavenging trips, she repairs him and he gives her music lessons X3 I’m working the hardest on this one right now because it’s not epicly long and I’d like to publish a book in the next few years hopefully :( I don’t have the best record on these things but I at least have a good plan for this one.
I have a couple of other ideas bouncing around but they are just random characters with vague, vague, nebulous world ideas surrounding them, no plot really. I may do more with them, I may not. Three stories is enough to keep me distracted and unfocused, don't you think?
this makes deciding on color schemes a no-brainer! I'll definitely buy when the beta is over.
Coworker introduced me to a really awesome little Photoshop plugin. Took a screenshot of me playing around with it at work that I blurred to hell for NDAs. Gone are the days where I have to open up the color picker window to sample colors!! I definitely recommend at least trying it out.
LED STOCKINGS made with materials from Adafruit and firewalkers circuit and code :D I intended to record better video, make gifs, whatever, but that takes away time from making more blinky stuff! So that's been unacceptable ;p I HAVE been documenting all my cosplay and crafty blinkybeepy things so that I have the OPTION to make writeups buuuut I have a functionally infinite project list while I slowly work on the skills to make the light and sound and animatronic costumes of my dreams 83
Finally got my friend's scanner working on my computer (drivers were NOT cooperating) and so now I can share random sketchbook crap! I've been teaching myself Arabic calligraphy, its super difficult because derp I don't know any Arabic :p but it's also so gorgeous so I keep at it! The top one is my name and the bottom is Katherine ("Kathni" in Arabic), both written in fancified Kufi cos that's my favorite form. Eventually when I know what the hell I am doing (so, very eventually, also I'd like to find someone who can spell check for me lol) I would like to offer people's names in Kufi as a commission service... thing. Cos its SO PRETTY omg.
Who's your favourite character? Which character do you think changes the most or has the biggest arc throughout the story? Is this character the main character? Why or why not?
AHAHA don't tell my other characters but... It's Felix I have a crush on himhe is really complicated and weird and just so much fun to write!
I have multiple stories so this is kinda tough question. For my fantasy I want to say it's Naroth but since his arc is still tangled up so much with the others that none of the character drama (of which there is MUCH) happens in a vacuum. Errikan is the title character of The Last Paladin and Lillia Naroth and Astral are sort of like sidekicks but ohhh I dunno I made the story in four parts and give each of them an arc, sort of.
Rabbit with *~sparkly~* pink pincurls because I said so. I started doing more with this because I have too many fancy design elements not to, but not the time to complete it right now…which is annoying cos that’s my favorite part :C Yes, clipart and filters are my favorite part, leave me alone
SPG’s new album is SO great, YOU NEED IT, I love albums that tell a whole story, I love rock operas, I love SPACE, SO MUCH!! My favorite songs are SteamJunk, Sky Sharks (with my bb Professor Elemental, squeeee), Oh No, and Necrostar *3* BRING IT INTO YOUR LIFE~
questionstar.org & questionstar@deviantart. I like to make art, friends, costumes, trouble, and history this is an art/creativity/rambling blog where I complain about art more often than I actually post it!
