Because I can't fit all of this on a Bluesky post: #author #writer #characters #art #reveal

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone - tech is now more expensive - you cannot trust most media of reality anymore - programs barely function - energy prices - literal psychosis - your voice can be literally stolen for evil - more spyware but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

It only just occurred to me that I never posted the update to the map of Avalon! Made by the amazing Fantasy Map Shop! The amount of times I reference this during writing, I'm at the point I should just move my giant print of it behind my monitors. #art #commission #map #avalon #lotg

Character comm for @cifer44.bsky.social of their oc Yiazmat. Thank you so much for trusting me with another cool oc! And thank you for this fun 1st half of ur story's journey! Super honored and glad to be a part of it !! 😆✨️ #characterart #othersoc #commissions

This is very exciting, may I present the main antagonist and the last of the main cast for the book series, Yiazmat: The Emperor's Hand! #art #fantasy #legendsofthegoddess #yiazmat #jigoku #theemperorshand #book #writing #writer #author #antagonist

If this is true and I ever need to search for new artists, I am absolutely implementing this policy. Screen share me some live art or no deal 😎

Not me unlocking a memory of how much I used to love Disney's Gargoyles. Not me realizing my world of Avalon, made up with characters from myths and history, being loosely inspired by Gargoyles Avalon that took the gang to different time periods and cultures. This show was ahead of its time!

Thank you so much to the amazing @faungrove.bsky.social for this art piece for my book series: Legends of the Goddess! #art #commission #legendsofthegoddess #book #writer #author #writing #conceptart

Character cm for @cifer44.bsky.social thank you so much again for trusting me with another lovely oc! Also I really enjoyed painting her long hair! Recently been trying to improve on hair rendering and designing hair shapes, so this was such a fun experience 😆✨️💙 #othersoc #characterart #commission

Thank you so much to @meilon-soda.bsky.social for another amazing character design! They always come out so perfect! Please look forward to more! #art #fantasy #legendsofthegoddess #raphael #jigoku #royalknight #book #writing #writer #author

I really hate how the em dash is just becoming the default to accuse someone of AI. As someone who uses it, I'm dreading how bad that accusation will be by 2030 when I plan to publish 😭 #writer #writing #fantasy #author

Main character reveal! Raphael Honō, member of the Royal Knights of the Jigoku Empire, and twin sister to Miranda Honō! Another amazing art piece by the amazing @meilon-soda.bsky.social Please look forward to more, soon! #art #fantasy #legendsofthegoddess #raphael #jigoku #book #writer #author

It is incredible what the people have worked with me can come up with using such vague and minor descriptions from me! At last, the logo for my book series; Legends of the Goddess! Logo by SilverTheGreat #art #commission #logo #writing #book #fantasy

Proud to present the map for the world of Avalon Thanks to the amazing fantasymapshop for creating this map from the poor little doodle I sent them! The icons on the map were made by @silverthegreat.bsky.social #book #writer #author #maps #art #Avalon #legendsofthegoddess #Tenshou #Jigoku #fantasy

Just a sheet I put together of the icons I've had made by SilverTheGreat! Just a style change for icons. Eventually, they will all be done in this style, but these were more immediate, so I can submit an update for the map of Avalon! #book #writer #author #tenshou #jigoku #cikapko #commission #art

If I am ever blessed enough to have a team and a huge budget, I really want to go the video game route again alongside the book route. The art style of the Dragon Quest HD2D remakes is beautiful and exactly what I would want! #books #gaming #writer

Now premiering the first episode of Ume's Records! This series is the Jigoku Empire's version of Tenman's Records. Ume is voiced by the amazing Trina Deuhart! youtu.be/ZmrQo4esPPw #Youtube #bluesky #books #author #writer #legendsofthegoddess

A major thing about this trilogy: there's a five-year time skip between books 1 and 2. And yes, the scar is explained in book 1 ;) Gouketsu Tenshou - 5 years later Thank you so much @meilon-soda.bsky.social ! The surprise bust deal was amazing! :D

Third main character reveal for the Tenshou Nation! Serena Hanaoka! Another amazing job by @meilon-soda.bsky.social with more on the way! #fantasy #maincharacter #oc #legendsofthegoddess #lotg #Serena #mage #magic #magick #Tenshou #books #writing #author

Some very exciting updates coming in the next few weeks 😎

I'm excited to share the second character reveal for my book series, Mezai Bessho! Artwork done by the amazing @meilon-soda.bsky.social I'm so excited to have these characters brought to life, and Mei is doing such a fantastic job! #art #commission #writer #author #fantasy #book

May I present the theme song of the main character, Gouketsu Tenshou! Music by the amazing アズキ! She really brought the feel of my character to life through this piece and I'm excited for future projects with her! www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxdG... #music #author #writer #theme #song #art

I'm honored that so many people are interested in working with me, but I am not taking in any more artists for a good long time. At least over a year. I have set character artists, a creature artist, music artists, and completed or ongoing icons. Thank you all for your interest! #writer #author

Thank you @goddessleona.bsky.social for the Rynoc icon! These guys might be small, but they're just as tough as ten men. Can't wait to have them added to my map and to eventually have it on the rynoc field guide video far down the line! #art #commission #writer #author #LegendsoftheGoddess #LotG

Revealing the first page of "Tenman's Files", which will eventually be a video! For now, this is a mock page of how the art I have commissioned would appear in an art book. Thank you to @tokyopepper.bsky.social for the Emblem and @meilon-soda.bsky.social for bringing Gouketsu to life! #book #writer

Character commission for @cifer44.bsky.social ✨️😊 thank you so much for trusting me with your precious oc and for commissioning me, its an absolute pleasure working with you !! #artcomms #commissions #commissionedart

I've been stuck since starting to write book 2...I knew this would happen, I've explored part one in multiple ways over the years, but 2 was barely ever touched. This is gonna be rough, I've been in chapter 1 for 2 weeks. #writer #author #fantasy

Well, I get to find out if I get to be transferred to the new company on same pay next week. Wish me luck! I'll know then what I can do for commissions and what will or won't be affected going forward with my book. Really considering a slice of life patreon or something but... #writer #commissions

With a 5-year plan in place, aiming to have an agent and publish at least the first book, with the other two set to follow a few months apart, would it be a good idea to have a Patreon in the background leading to 2030? This would include some ideas and more about me, etc. #writer #author #fantasy

Any writer's tips on how to do a pronunciation page for names and places? Maybe it's a college thing but I've never been taught nor understood the regular system. Example: pronunciation (prəˌnənsēˈāSH(ə)n) Any recommended methods? #writer #author #fantasy #language

Thank you @kimberlybrown.bsky.social for the goblin icon :D

Finished my first draft of book one the other day and actually hit the industry standard of between 100-115k words without even trying. Next up is editing the 2nd draft manuscript, followed by book 2! Hoping to finish all 3 before agent hunting to have the full story to present! #author #fantasy

While I still have things on hold, I had a few projects that were already paid for or in the works, one being the logo for "Arclight Works". The name I'm using to present my books and myself. The logo was made by the amazing vgen.co/SilverTheGreat ~

This might be a really dumb question, but is using Grammarly to correct your spelling mistakes considered bad or AI? I think they have AI built in with certain features, but if I'm just using it for spell checking and grammar, is that bad? Should I leave that stuff to an editor? #writer #author

I will be contacting people individually on this, but I am having to halt all projects that I haven't started paying for yet. In exactly 2 months, my job is closing, and I have no idea what I'll be doing or my income. I deeply apologize to anyone who was looking forward to working with me next month

This is at least 2 years out for me, but what's the best publisher you'd recommend for a starter? #writer #author #book #books

Is there a platform anyone would recommend for making music? More so searching for artists looking to make music? I've used fiver once, and the person I found did great and seems legit, but if I end up making a soundtrack at some point, I don't want the risk of an AI music bot.

I was wondering why the resolution looked so low, I uploaded the wrong one because I was so excited 😭 the names should be a lot clearer now. Again, I highly recommend fantasymapshop.com for amazing realistic maps! There will be an update once flags and icons are made! #map #commission #art

May I present the first step in completed my stories, the map of Avalon which will be displayed in the first few pages of each book! It will have icons and territory flags added later, but I am so happy to present my world and must recommend fantasymapshop.com for anyone wanting a professional map!

THREAD Due to the scope of the project I'm working on and the amount of money that will be going into it, I will only be working with people who can provide me with a working VGen account.

Thank you to everyone who got back to me! I've selected my choices on the icons, but I WILL be looking for more artists in the future. If I didn't choose someone for this project, then please don't be too upset because I'm still going to be looking for a character designer and more :)

I should have made a post instead of a reply to my thread but I closed my dms after the huge flood of people and am currently reviewing and speaking to everyone who replied to my request. Please be patient with me, I wasn't expecting such a turn out and will get back to everyone soon 💙
