Ha! Finished the line work! I need to do some testing before I colour, because I actually want to use ink, not watercolour but idk if the pen will bleed And fun fact, after I colour it? ill have to REDO all the line work, since it’ll fade 🥲 #ittybittywatercolour Dragon pt. 2 #art

#JanuaryWorldbuilders at the beginning, no? Technically it starts out as a conflict that was started because Windfor and Caldrath teamed up after the King of Windfor ”became a psychopath”. Eventually, all the internal conflicts become a war, and it’s pretty much everyone for themselves

#Critterary I don’t have any of these lol, so please enjoy a opossum that was on my back porch!

Ophelia is knows nothing about the world in the beginning , and is wholly unprepared for what people are like. But when magic comes along…. The guys are the opposite, and have what it takes to fight people,or just deal with general assholery, but when magicy stuff happens, they kinda lose their shit

Since I’m on the theme of dragons today, I decided to paint another one for my mini! #ittybittywatercolour 6: Waiting For the Rain

My amazing fabulous little sister made this for her wood shop class, she is so talented and she graciously allowed me to have it. I love it, and it is perfect and wonderful like her. (Help I’m kindnaped, shes scaring me, this is a plea for help save me) #art #thisismostlyajokebutseriouslyhelpme

I got too confident guys. I’ve only done the faceeeeeeee My hand is already having a mental breakdown 🤣 At least it looks pretty, (minus the dress, which i messed up) I’m trying to copy the old Chinese dragon design (which are so fricken detailed ehhh) #ittybittywatercolour #art

Hey! I actually have 5 pages! #writesky #booksky

The baby realized I have a heat vent under my desk and is now refusing to leave ☺️ I don’t blame her tbh it be cold #cats

Hi! I’m Ru and this is my wip (can I do this every week lol) #WriterShareWednesday

Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 42, post the second sentence. “Brother Abbiørn must be allowed to say and do what he wants.“

#JanuaryWorldbuilders Well, most of the kingdoms don’t allow weapons any bigger than a knife (which is considered more of a tool) so I’ll go with the laws about Caldrath! Aka weapon central! In Caldrath, if you DONT have a weapon with you at all times, youre considered unprepared and weak. 1/

#Critterary I don’t have many other feathered friends in my wip, so here are some feathery fellows (I see there’s a recurring theme lol)

#ittybittywatercolour 5 The Hierophant! Pocket Sized! @kiraofthewind.com Because you know. (hope you don’t mind me posting this? or that I drew him 😶) Anyways Shhdkdbsugejajdbakbdei

Actually, 4/6 of my mcs have been in prison (fairly recently too)! Riu becomes delusional, Tui gets antsy, Malicai bangs his head against the bars because Riu won’t shut up, and Lilac is in a corner. IF Ophelia was here, she’d be plotting. This is a scene from b4 the book starts

Mmmmmmm nothing like good soup and biscuits to make a good day ☺️🍲 Specifically chicken pasta soup 🍲🤤

Oh, Ophelia would definitely be a tea person! Windfor has a special kind of dark honey-orange tea they drink in the coldest months Lilac loves his coffee, like any self respecting elf. Tui is a hot chocolate and croissant kind of guy and Malicai (secretly) enjoys his mamas cider!

#Critterary Birds are actually a motif that I use to symbolize God, Coro. Similar to a phoenix, this bird is incredibly rare (and made of wind rather than fire) Kind of a mix between eagle and vultures in shape, with bells that trail after them. Harming any type of bird is considered sacrilege

#JanuaryWorldbuilders Well, I’ve talked about Knights sword, so I guess I’ll talk more about Malicais axe. His axe was actually a *tool* made for a full giant (think 15-20ft) Malicai had stolen this tool and used it for hurting/killing someone. For the most part tho, he just Hulk smashes people

Random little thing (need to get better on writing “chaotic“ emotion??) Malicai is going all Papa Bear Mode lol Also, I’m not sure if I *should* make his axe logical, or if I should just make him be able to wield an axe made for a 15-20ft tall giant? #writers #writingcommunity #snippet

I do both! Some of my characters NEED a name before I flesh them out, like Ophelia, (even tho that wasn’t her og name) while others just get placeholders until i figure something out or they keep it For example, Knight is literally just named Knight now, even tho it was just a placeholder

Had a no good, very bad, terrible trip to the library (she says over dramatically) but at least I got some new books to read! (She also says while ignoring the other books that lay forgotten on her TBR shelf) #booksky #books

#ittybittywatercolour 4 Very proud of this one. The model is my lovely little sister ☺️ #art #watercolour

Oh oh I actually have goals today ✨I’m almost halfway through my chapter planning, so I’m going to try and get through that ✨Finish writing a few random scenes ✨and I am going to read a book (specifically a book I am very close to DNFing, but I refuse to) #writingcommunity #queerwriters

#Critterary Sigh. Monday.

Mmmmmmmm #JanuaryWorldbuilders I don’t think I’ve ever thought about long range weapons Before. There’s probably the basics, bows, maybe darts (most likely belonging to the elves) Elves after they shoot an unsuspecting visitor probably 👇

The joys of having #cats 🙄 My beautiful little shit decided it would be perfect timing to puke on my bed. Fortunately I kicked her off and she only did it on my carpet 😓 Ah well At least she’s cute

I am ✨Lost in the Sauce✨ Specifically Sweet n sour sauce (mmmmmmmmmmm)

Oh, Knight and Ophelia are similar in a LOT of ways. Both of them want to be free from their current lives, and they both want to choice The main difference is that Ophelia wants to live a life where no one knows who she is, and Knight wants to live a life where EVERYONE knows who he is.

#ittybittywatercolour 3 My cats eye, quick sketch #art #watercolour #cat

Welp. everyone I follow. Literally. All of them. But, specifically, these ones 👇 @khonri.com @serraleta.bsky.social @lcyruswhelchel.bsky.social (pretty sure you were the first writer I actually followed/interacted with) @kiraofthewind.com @charliedeltawrites.bsky.social

Working on some more world building because I compleatly forgot to do this. Noteable places will also include some inns and taverns the mcs stay at, as well as certain districts (like a very specific shopping/entertainment district) #writer #writingcommunity #worldbuilding

omg I use to love doing these! Had to make Ophelia, ofc and Knight (this is first ever design actually) and Tui! Knight looks so eepy and sad boi 🙂‍↕️ picrew.me/en/image_mak...

friendly reminder, your creative efforts are worthy and they always have been. No one is immune to imposter syndrome and feeling bad about their work at times, but your worth isn't marked by productivity or amount of likes. And remember, you're so so cool and hot and capable of creating that art

#JanuaryWorldbuilding Im starting to think Knight is going to be the only character featured this week 😅 So. Knight is almost always seen in his black Armour. the metal is a rare material that only forms along the canal of The Between. (technically more of a rock than a metal)

#Critterary Bringing back the stiltwalkers for this one! To be fair, most of the creatures in my wip are hybrids of Some sort. so here is a baby stiltie! (ft. baby Ophelia) Stiltwalkers are kind of a mix between a horse, camel and giraffe 🦒 and are the most common animal in Windfor.

#ittybittywatercolour 2

omg Ok So, Ophelia would insist on going, but with absolutely no plan whatsoever (because she has maids for that ) and then get distracted and go look at the candy aisle, probably with Tui. Riu doesn’t care much, he’d most likely buy a bunch of microwave dinners and Gatorade or smth

Welp. I tried. Idk why, but I just don’t want to finish this 🙂‍↕️ I might continue it tomorrow but idk. i tried to salvage it with black lines, but ehhhh idk #art #watercolour #ittybittywatercolour

I want to paint something (to stop doomscrolling ehhhh) but I’m indecisive So, out of these 7, which one should I retrace, complete, paint? weekends are decidedly for art, not writing ig #art

Idea for somebody who wants to host a prompt game in February to steal: FeBREWary Featuring questions about potion-making, poison brewing, or even beer/other alcohol-crafting in our fictional worlds. Khonri and I were talking about prompt games and also the spelling of February, but neither of us

Eeepy baby #cats

starting a mini series of itty bitty watercolour paintings. Most of which will be based on random pictures I have on my phone, but some might be random (you may see a lot of dragons) itty bitty watercolour 1 I don’t actually like this one lol #ittybittywatercolour #art

very happy with this, writing someone going insane is kind of fun (unfortunately this is just a snippet of the past, so it probably won’t be in the actual book)

It’s fun to write insanity 🫠 Little thing about the past, but I really wanted to write it #writers #snippit #writingcommunity #writesky

#JanuaryWorldbuilders Back to Knights sword: The sword was commissioned for Knight when he was born. It was designed by an alchemist solely for him, and made with his blood to make a perfect bond between wielder and weapon. These types of weapons a aren’t rare or overly special, but they tend to be

#Critterary Froog

Excited to keep reading? But also sad that it ended because they loved it so much 😗

My cat is really clingy Today, and I was trying to write (I swear) and she kept biting my phone 🙂‍↕️ I also accidentally bodychucked her across the hallway because she was sitting right in front on the bathroom door waiting for me to let her in my room So she could lay on her quilt 🥹 #cats #writers

So, I found a height comparison thing! I’ve actually been meaning to do this for a while, but I couldn’t find one. This one > www.heightcomparison.com The first one are my MCs, and the second one are just the races And, my oh my, Malicai is talllll 🫢 #writing #writerscommunity #oc
