Update on KatieSo, after several days of "she'll probably come home tomorrow," Katie finally came home. She is still sick, but she no longer needs to be on oxygen, so she is resting on the couch, taking medicine, and watching movie after movie.
The Draw for a Child project was an incredible success. Thank you all for participating and advertising; the journal made the footer and we currently have 181 pictures and one short film.
:iconlazycryplz:
Over the past few days, you all have proved what a positive thing the internet can be. Approximately 175 people stopped what they were doing to take the time to draw a picture for a sick girl whom they had never met and knew next to nothing about—only hoping that they might make her smile. Nearly 90% of them asked for nothing in return. Another 242 people favorited the journal in the hopes of spreading the word.
Thank you to everyone who favorited, drew, commented, advertised, and submitted the journal to a group. Th

Katie's Storybook Project: Get CommissionedPlease consider ing this journal if you support it; it may reach a wider audience.
Hello, everyone! Most of you probably remember last January when my little sister Katie was hospitalized for pneumonia and I hosted an event encouraging people to draw pictures for her. It was an overwhelming success, and Katie was thrilled when Dad showed her the pictures in the hospital.

During the project, *FARTYTREEFROG and *Freecakebadges were kind enough to donate 3,000 points for Katie (in total). I'm using these points to pull together this storybook project.
Details (please read all before commenting)
The Book
"The Magic of Love" is 14 pages long, including the cover, and I'll commission 17 illustrations for it. The characters are some of Katie's favorite (human) OCs. If you'd like to read the paragraphs that describe yo

DNAZaen stared at the floor next to his bed with a frown. He could do this. All right, he had failed last time. That was in the morning, though, and mornings seemed to be worse for him. Besides, his stomach ached from hunger pangs, and Dark had left the house, so he had no other recourse but to try this again.
Zaen glared determinedly at the floor for a moment. Then he swung his legs off the edge of the bed and stood up. He was victorious! ...Wasn't he? Blobs of color swarmed in front of his vision, blocking out most of the world around him. His head suddenly felt lighter than air. He took a cautious step forwards, floundering in the world of colors and heat, and finally collapsed.
Zaen rolled over to lie on his back, watching the colors wash out of his vision. There. The ceiling looked normal now. That was a perfect failure. He pulled his shirt up to uncover his stomach, hoping that would help him cool down. Well, at least he had tried. Maybe he had just stood up too quickly. His lungs c

Character Voice Exercise IIMy Characters (hover over to see names)

9. Your character is about to leave the house in the morning when they realize that they are snowed in.
Rose: Yes! Snow day! It's a perfect day for Debussy!
Dark: What the... (stares)
Zaen: Dark! Something happened! A white substance is covering everything outside! Do you know what's going on? Dark!
Kirrah: ...I must call Rose. (calls) Rose. The world is white. What is happening?
Athryl: That is... Th-that is unnatural. Surely it can be explained... (sticks hand into snow to observe its texture and wails) Ahh! It burns! What is this? (begins to cry)
10. Another character spills warm coffee all over your character's shirt, then immediately begins apologizing.
Rose: No, it's okay. It's fine. I-I'll get another shirt.
Dark: (observes shirt with a frown) 'S fine. I'll get a new one. Ya can't stain black.
Zaen: I-It's fine. I'll put on

Exercise: Your Character's Distinct Voice

Brought to you by Super Editor

The purpose of this exercise is to see how much you've differentiated each of your main characters' voices from each other.

How to Use

Pick a few major characters in your story. (I recommend using between 3 and 6.) For each of the numbered prompts below, choose what each character would say in that circumstance. You may want to write a few sentences of dialogue from that character or a quick internal monologue.

These lines are meant to generate short pieces of dialogue (about 1-5 sentences), as it's easiest to compare lines to each other that way. If you start writing long paragraphs or another character's r

Character Voice Exercise II'm doing this as a sample of this twenty-question exercise: http://fav.me/d5dbegx
I'm writing in a loose script format, since I like it.
My Characters (hover over to see names)
1. Another character asks your character to come to a birthday or other party... in honor of a person (Kendryn*) your character doesn't particularly like.
Rose: Uh... Actually, Kendryn and I don't get along very well, so I don't think it'd be a good idea. She would probably be happier if I didn't show up.
Dark: No. I hate that idiot.
Zaen: Um, I think it might be better if I didn't attend... Kendryn and I do not get along... at all.
Kirrah: Sorry, I am not her friend. You must be very confused.
Athryl: Um... I am sure if it would not be fitting that I attend...
*None of my main five characters like Kendryn much. Don't worry; she has plenty of evil friends to attend her parties.
2a. Your character has a big due date coming up soon and is trying to finish their project, but another ch

Thing in Five's POVAuthor's note: This story takes place shortly after Design Five. I recommend that you read that story first if you haven't already.
If you are looking for great literature, turn around. If you want to see just how skilled =Luna--Rose is, turn around. This is a random scene that I scribbled out once and decided to post. If you're looking for a cute, albeit stupid scene, read on.
Both the internet and other robots agreed that telling someone something they did not want to hear was generally not the best way to start a positive relationship. Five thought it was sound advice, so he would do his best to follow it. Athryl, however, seemed bent upon forcing him to say things that would upset him.
"Athryl, it's very early in the morning. You just went to sleep at midnight, remember?"
Athryl shut the closet door—he kept in his bed in the closet, which seemed unusual—and re-entered his room. His expression was alert and neutral, which could le

Jesusby `Luna--Rose

Digital Art / Drawings & Paintings / People / Portraits

This piece is dedicated to Mom and Dad, whom I love very much.

If you do not like depictions of Jesus, the "Back" button can be found at the top left of your screen.

Merry Christmas (or happy holidays), everyone! Today is Jesus' birthday, so I thought I'd draw him. It was a lot of fun, even though I didn't have as much time as I'd like.

I hope that your holidays are filled with family, friends, good food, and even better memories. Enjoy your holidays and have fun!

Soon I will be posting a Christmas present for all of you.

This is one of , so please don't critique it.

Suddenly Jesus!!

I think you really got his hairstyle and Jesus-esque qualities spot on! And I really really like the gradient in the background.

I have to point out though, his nose is perhaps off perspective, as the nostrils would not be perfectly visible straight on.

But that's it! Nice work!

`Luna--Rose Dec 27, 2012 General Artist

Yes!

Thank you!

Thanks also for the tip; I'll try to remember that for future drawings. Noses are hard!
