WHOO - Blog Posts

I just wanted to let you know that your art fills a hole in my heart with pink, glittery microplastic 😊 I genuinely smile every time I see a nice drawing you did on my dash. How do you pick colors for your art? cause I swear, no matter the mood I'm trying to get for a drawing, I always pick the most muted sad colors as a force of habit. Which like works as a style thing, but when you're trying to set the mood for a piece sometimes the colors you usually lean to just don't work as well, y'know?

Hello! I AM SO HAPPY TO HEAR THAT MY ART MAKES YOU HAPPY THAT IS SO SWEET?!?!? CRYING! Honestly love the phrase "pink, glittery, microplastic". For color picking I shade clothes with only variations of red on multiply! That is a big thing for me! I will also add a layer of blue shading to everything! Hair, skin, clothes, doesn't matter the lighting there will be blue shading! My rendering process takes a bit and I break everything into pieces- hair, skin, clothes, etc. all get its own layers and folder for rendering. My render process typically means the final piece is anywhere around 100 to even 800 layers sometimes. I also work in 550 DPI, idk if that changes anything but yeah. If I ever think a color doesn't look bright enough I will add a layer above and overlay it with a slightly brighter color and turn down the opacity slightly! I understand the mood thing totally too! For my color palette I just always try to include pinks, reds, and blues to keep everything consistent but still have a brighter feel to it!

Sweet!!

CHARACTER VOICE TAG:

I was tagged by @somethingclevermahogony. And given the line "Get down from there!"

I find it sort of ironic that Im doing this without first doing character intros, but i think it's fun.

Xanthe Nylia: "your bones are priceless, and so is that vase so please get off of the roof!"

Richard Underhill: "I don't think you're much suited to heights dear."

Starlee Veda-Nylia: "No,no,-no,no,no- you're not supposed to be up there!"

Vallentin Ellisia: "I-I really do think that it would be best if you just got down, please."

Alia Jenanins: "How did you get up there!? You know what, no, I don't wanna know, just get down."

Sunhite Blaey: *sigh* "here, let me get a ladder to help you down."

Once again gently poking @nerdexer, and anyone else who wants to play. Your line is: "How did you get here?"

oooh, I wanna join in.

I did both C's and Shed's:

and here's the one I made for Seigmun, what I am calling my world:

gently poking @nerdexer and asking if he wants to play.

Bingo for Testaments of the Green Sea Book 1 and 2

Hello to you too! I'm already really interested in the books you have!

Hello!

My name is Ian and I’m a writer so I figured it was about time I joined the writeblr community.

A little about me…

I’m 24 and use he/they pronouns.

I have a degree in Music Industry that I am currently not using. I also have a certificate in Writing and Publishing which I am sort of using.

I’ve been writing stories for as long as I can remember, but only started pursuing it as a career about three years ago. Since then I have self-published two books that I am very proud of.

In addition to writing I have interests in music, film & television, and linguistics. I also love to read so this will probably be a little bit of a bookblr too.

A little about my books…

As I said, I have two books currently available in paperback and ebook. They’re called It Could Always Be Worse and Will It Ever Get Better? They are both part of a series called the Woodview Stories, which I plan to continue. I’m currently working on the next book.

It Could Always Be Worse

After a traumatic experience in her hometown of Miami, Elena Flores moves away to live with the father she’s never met. It’s not easy starting a new school in the middle of October, so when her half sister invites her to a party, she thinks “what’s the worst that could happen?” Elena must learn to navigate her new life in the wealthy suburbs of Long Island and try to build relationships, but that’s hard to do when she doesn’t know who to trust and she can’t let go of her anger and sadness.

Order here.

Will It Ever Get Better?

Jo Reilly has dealt with a lot of big changes lately. She’s sharing a room with a surprise half-sister, her parents are always fighting, her best friends aren’t speaking to her, and she’s falling for someone totally unexpected. All she wants is to be normal, but what does that even mean? Jo must learn to shed her insecurities, resentments, and preconceived notions, in order to be true to herself and find the people who really care about her.

Order here.

Woodview Stories

Woodview Stories is a Young Adult contemporary fiction book series. It tells the coming of age tales of a diverse group of teens living in the affluent Long Island neighborhood of Woodview. The overarching story progresses through the books chronologically with each installment switching narrator to focus on a different person's point of view. It all begins with Elena, whose sudden move to Woodview from Miami sets off a chain of events that affects the lives of everyone around her.

A little about my other writing…

The majority of what I write in YA, like the books I have already written. I also tend to stick to contemporary, but sometimes drift to other genres.

I also dabble in screenwriting. I’m currently working on a teleplay as a side project. I’ll probably post a lot about that in addition to my main project.

Anyway…

I don’t know if I’ve put the right stuff in the intro post, but here it is anyway.

That’s all for now. Bye!
