It's been a while. In the time I've been away I've become a Dragon Age fan. I made art of my Inquisitor, Peregrine Lavellan.

Announcement

I'm writing a fantasy book and by the stars, this time I will finish it and publish it. By this time next year, I'll be putting this book on my shelf. That also means the next little while a lot of my content will be OC stuff and shift from art to writing and I'm very eager to share it with you.

[blackdaisies]

Hey it's been a while! I haven't done much else with my free time except write this book and I'm happy to announce that I've completed my first draft. I had run the gamut of emotions about this book and this world, and though everything is still very much work in progress, and I have to reduce the word count by so much, I'm happy that I have the draft done.

I'd like to start talking about the project now, but not exactly sure how to do that.

(I guess I should also note that this is currently no where near ready to publish. I've also decided that before I do, I should have at least the first draft of Book 2 completed. Oh yes, of course there's a book 2... and 3)

🎉 200,000 WRITERS 🎉 🎉 2 MILLION STORIES 🎉

Ellipsus just crossed a ginormous milestone - 200,000 of you, and over 2 million docs written (and edited, and argued about, and lovingly obsessed over). 🤯 That’s a lot of words. (How many? What kind? We’ll never know… because we don’t read ‘em. 🔏)

We’re so grateful to every writer who’s found their flow here - everyone who’s conquered the blank page, traded drafts with a friend, found community, catapulted Google Docs into the abyss once and for all, and kept writing because you love it. Because you believe in creating something together, and in proving that real stories still hit harder than the algorithm.

THANK YOU for making Ellipsus your home (and for making the internet feel a little more human). - the Ellipsus Team xo

Reorganizing blog ramble

I'm doing some cleaning up of this blog, as well as adding art I never added here for some reason. I'll also be messing with the themes too. For the foreseeable future, I'm planning on using this as my main artwork repository, and all socials will point to here.

Tags:

#mine - all my art crap, finished, WIPs, sketches, whatever #featured - finished stuff that I kind of like / a portfolio even #lovely art - inspiration tag (I made a mess of this tag)

WIP or sketch of my dwarf rogue Grey Warden from Dragon Age Origins, if I had the opportunity to redesign her. I don't really finish drawings anymore, but I did something fun tonight.

I actually really like it here at Tumblr. Being here and looking at the lovely art and reading stories makes me happy and inspires me. I hope Tumblr continues to exist and be the haven for creative people that it is right now. I also hope that Tumblr can be successful.

I don't really want to maintain my website anymore, so I have been looking at Tumblr as an alternative. The news about it makes me reconsider it, but it's still an option.

The boy I've been playing with lately.

I have not yet left Act 1. In fact, I'm kind of lost in the Underdark at the moment.

Sketch night - "It's not worth being sad about what can't be changed."

Very rough sketch while catching up on Critical Role. I was basically Orym while watching this moment.

[blackdaisies]

When Marisha said one of her more memorable moments was Laudna telling Orym about her life story, I remember that it made an impact on me as well, enough to sketch out the scene. I think I may work on this one more.

Why does Tumblr look like Twitter now?

[blackdaisies]

I literally cannot decide if I'm just "meh" about it or if I completely hate it. At first glance I had to check that I actually was not on Twitter.
