I just love #writing. It's magical, it's somewhere else to go, it's somewhere much more exciting. Somewhere I feel I belong, possibly more than in the so-called real world. - Tanith Lee #AmWriting #AmEditing Be Writing. #Writer #Author ~ #BookSky #AuthorSky

#JanuaryWorldbuilders 18: what kind of armor is used in your world? The majority of people who use armor use leather armor (even spellcasters), and soldiers typically use things like breastplates or chainmail. #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writer #fantasy #wip

January #QueerPrompts 18: would any of your characters be a fair ruler of your story's world? Mathius is going to be the main one to grapple with that question throughout the "Light's Rebellion" series. #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writer #fantasy #wip

✧ i am accepting commissions again! ✧ my new years break is OVER! so my vgen is open for business and accepting proposals✨ i’m excited to get back to it! vgen.co/TheLowestPic...

#JanuaryWorldbuilders 17: magical or otherwise important weapon or armor Braelyn is going to find a weapon in "Son of Embers" (hopefully before Velimiar & the demons do, hahaha) that essentially takes on the shape of whatever melee weapon— #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writer #fantasy #wip

January #QueerPrompts 17: something unique/you like about your story's world Honestly, I love it all. And I love that it's something that I've been working on with my now-husband for several years, something that we bonded over. 💙 #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writer #fantasy #wip

#FantasyIndiesJanuary 17: Saturday Snippet Still from "A Daughter's Hope". Mathius's first day at the Arcane Syndicate (Celestine's school for mages) proves to be interesting, and also hilarious. I love Kram and Giselle 😆 #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writer #fantasy #wip

Heyo #PortfolioDay! 💜✨ I'm Lief, a trans artist from Canada who loves painting fantasy & TTRPG characters! I'm currently taking a break from comms & patreon because of PhD & illness, but hoping to return soon :) here's some art in the meantime! 🌙 patreon.com/liefygreens 🪄 liefygreens.carrd.co

'Even if you cannot be mended, then I will love you broken.' { #dnd #dndart #dndcharacter } 🎭🦾

#JanuaryWorldbuilders 16: weapon used by the villain/antagonist/foil I'm not sure *when* Velimiar gets his weapon, but he uses a lance that is forged in the Underworld, and is capable of "Life Steal". I have a "stat block" for it on his D&D sheet. #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writer #fantasy #wip

January #QueerPrompts 16: Free Friday Current WC on "Son of Embers" is 9,730. So 866 words written this week (not counting today). I talked with hubs last night about some ideas of where to go next, as well as fixing a couple things I wrote. #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writer #fantasy #wip

#FantasyIndiesJanuary 16: how do your characters handle stress? Braelyn's gotten better about it. If she needs a moment, she asks Sojna or Elsa to watch Malicai so she can sit on her bed, take a few deep breaths, cry if she needs to. #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writer #fantasy #wip

I can finally share these, two packaging artworks made for Magic: The Gathering's Lorwyn Eclipsed Draft Night box! AD: Lauren Brown They were painted in watercolour and acryla gouache on Arches paper, with some little digital changes alterations made to give the packaging the polish it needs.

#SFFChat The God of Death, Xaros, is also the god who handles getting souls to their respective afterlives. His symbol is a cardinal, and those who claim to have seen him describe him with a cardinal-shaped mask. #WritingCommunity

#SFFChat The Underworld and the afterlife are two different things for Asloria. The Underworld is basically their version of hell, aka where the demons reside. The afterlife is determined, for the most part, on how you lived your life. #WritingCommunity

#JanuaryWorldbuilders 15: weapon used by the MC Braelyn favors a longbow, but she does know how to use (& own) two swords for situations when she finds herself in close range combat. #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writer #fantasy #wip

January #QueerPrompts 15: any goofy side character(s)? I think Eris would have to take the top spot for goofy side character. This girl just has the most unbelievable ability to befriend anything and anyone, all while having a smile on her face. #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writer #fantasy #wip

#FantasyIndiesJanuary 15: Last, Current, & Next Reads Last: "Better in Black" by Cassandra Clare Current: "A Kiss of Hammer & Flame" by @amydelaforce.bsky.social Next: hopefully "What Echoes in the Dark" by S.M. Gaither, but I'm not supposed to receive my signed copy until March. So 🤷‍♀️

Prepare your heart for chaos 🍭💞 I saw #TheMightyNein recently and I adore Jester, so here's a drawing of her 🥰 #jesterlavorre #criticalrole #digitalart #illustration #fanart

#JanuaryWorldbuilders 14: popular food or drink in MC’s society Thormund's Gulch doesn't have much variety when it comes to food, except on the days where Sojna gets her deliveries from her uncle's business. So 98% of the time— #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writer #fantasy #wip #wipwednesday

January #QueerPrompts 14: GIF/Audio or description of one of your character's phobias Braelyn is afraid of snakes. She was attacked by one as a child (Velimiar's fault) and hasn't fully gotten over her fear from that incident. #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writer #fantasy #wip #wipwednesday

#FantasyIndiesJanuary 14: what do you most wish to improve on this year? 🔹actually using my dedicated time to write/brainstorm 🔹finishing a draft 🔹writing things down when I think of them so I don't forget them!!!! #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writer #fantasy #wip #wipwednesday

I've never once been on the website, I have no idea how it works.

Honestly, would love some work. Apart from regular art commissions in the quoted post, I also do mixed media/photo collage images/book covers.

Happy #portfolioday!! I'm Kip, a queer fantasy, romance and dnd artist looking for work in #romantasy or #bookish spaces I do scenes, covers, and character art mostly! Links: Portfolio: daydreamdeuce.carrd.co Contact: [email protected] Form: forms.gle/RLxDgy7BCtXA... #art | #dnd | #ocsky

#JanuaryWorldbuilders 13: clothes worn in MC’s society "Son of Embers": Thormund's Gulch is a very small town (literally only 3 streets wide), so clothes are just things like pants and shirts made of simple material. #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writer #fantasy #wip

January #QueerPrompts 13: what inspired the injustices in your story's world? I think most of them came from a sense of wanting to show that they can be overcome, or even wiped out as generations go on. Things are still a work in progress. #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writer #fantasy #wip

#FantasyIndiesJanuary 13: MC’s pet peeves Braelyn can't stand when people are rude to her/look down on her for "being a single mom". Thankfully, it doesn't happen very often. She also dislikes people being late to things. #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writer #fantasy #wip

Soul Immolation - my final card for Magic: The Gathering's "Lorwyn Eclipsed". AD: Aliana Rood

New photos of the Drowned Sea 6D6 sets 🌊 What lurks in these murky waters, I wonder… #dnd #dice #ttrpg

#JanuaryWorldbuilders 12: what gestures/actions are considered good manners/etiquette? 🔹Saying "Please" & "Thank you" 🔹Listening attentively 🔹Respect personal space 🔹Cover your mouth when you sneeze 🔹Chew with your mouth closed— #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writer #fantasy #wip

#JanuaryWorldbuilders 11: what are some issues plaguing your world’s society? Not everywhere, but there are instances of sexism, assault, homophobia, racism, ecological instability, and the occasional tyrant/dictator. #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writer #fantasy #wip

January #QueerPrompts 12: queer fighter character(s) I think most (if not all) of my queer characters are fighters in some way, but I'm gonna shout out my girl, Kasandra. Cannot wait to introduce her into the main cast (probably the next book?) #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writer #fantasy #wip

January #QueerPrompts 11: best advice a character gives your MC There's a scene where Sojna references some advice she gave Braelyn for if she's ever in a situation where she needs to physically hurt a man: "Foot, throat, chest, dick.” 😆 #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writer #fantasy #wip

#FantasyIndiesJanuary 12: shout out other indies! If you read this and you're an indie author, consider this me shouting you out 🥰 you're doing great and I'm proud of you! #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writer #fantasy #wip

#FantasyIndiesJanuary 11: interesting lore in WIP I think my favorite piece of lore is the tale of the dragons. They were the original immortal guardians of Asloria, until Zialduroth fucked it all up and tried to conquer the Palace of the Gods. #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writer #fantasy #wip

Whoever decided it should be impossible for people to get ahold of their insurance companies (for whatever the reason may be), I hope you step on a D4 every day for the rest of your life. *grumbles*

#WeeknightWriters 🔹look into self-publishing "A Daughter's Hope" 🔹finish draft 1 of "Son of Embers" 🔹might restructure the "Light's Rebellion" series 🔹author website? maybe? or a Patreon? or Ko-Fi? (I have the latter 2, but I haven't done anything with them) #WritingCommunity

#WeeknightWriters I started querying book 1 in the "Light's Rebellion" series, "A Daughter's Hope"! I didn't get any bites with it, and I ended up pulling it from the querying trenches to focus on my wedding, but I'm still really proud of myself for taking the leap :)

#WeeknightWriters I think my biggest struggle was having to manage my husband's mental health regarding his shoulder. The leadup to his PRP injection, the week following said injection, and everything up until now has been a lot to deal with. But we're working on it.

If you see this, post an archer Lady Vex'ahlia de Rolo, Baroness of the first house of whitestone and Grand Mistress of the grey hunt

#JanuaryWorldbuilders 10: does this society assign gender roles? How strict? In Braelyn's case, she's not aware of any gender roles, nor does anyone explain them to her. In someone like Kasandra's case, however, she is expected to marry young— #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writer #fantasy #wip

January #QueerPrompts 10: are your characters content with their lives at the beginning of your story? Braelyn is mostly content, but she still wishes Mathius would return to her safely. She also still wishes to find her parents. #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writer #fantasy #wip

#FantasyIndiesJanuary 10: Saturday Snippet Part of Braelyn & Jace's conversation when they go to "Sakini's Sweet Dreams" for the first. Your Honor, I. LOVE. THEM. Their friendship is *chef's kiss* #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writer #fantasy #wip

Celestial Reunion - watercolour and acryla gouache on paper for Magic: The Gathering's "Lorwyn Eclipsed". AD: Jameela Wahlgren An emotional reunion between two elemental gods. I was asked to lean into a stylized representation of them, and I had a lot of fun playing with the intertwining shapes.

🌹Coral Rose🌹 Let the dice conjure visions of seashells, mystical ocean beings, and breathtaking coral reefs with each roll.🪸 #dice #dnd #ttrpg

#JanuaryWorldbuilders 9: MC’s position in society Back in Celestine, Braelyn was technically considered a noble, and she also had the status of "hero" thanks to her being a member of the Brightlanders. In Thormund's Gulch, since the town— #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writer #fantasy #wip

January #QueerPrompts 9: Free Friday or do you or any of your characters have a coming-out-aversary? I imagine Kasandra will probably have one, given that she lives in one of the few places on Asloria where being "other" is hugely disavowed. #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writer #fantasy #wip
