thank you! first, it’s important to think about what kind of professional work you imagine yourself doing and want to work towards. look at the people in those fields and their portfolios. for character design and illustration, the most important factor is communicating with the audience through the design. 

a good character design portfolio shows a wide variety of characters with different shapes, personalities, mannerisms, and moods. i’m not an expert but in an imaginary world where i hired people, i like seeing expressions and poses that indicate personality, character interaction, and character lineups.  it’s always a good idea to include storytelling moments too - think about what the character is doing, feeling, and thinking. 

 as for illustration in general, whatever kind of work you want to do, make sure to show clearly in your portfolio that you can do it. 

11) do you listen to music when writing?

usually, no. i most often either have quiet, or i put on something from mynoise

25) favorite line you’ve ever written

you know, i really don’t know! dialogue has always been my strong point, and i’ve only improved over the years, so there’s so much i could name. even in my really old rp stuff, there’s some solid things that still hold up, like everything i did with jade curtiss (tales of the abyss). i’m particularly fond of an exchange i wrote for him during a battle in that rp, where going all stabbity with his spear didn’t work and i had the enemy ask what he was going to do now, and the response was “what i always do”, and when he got asked what that was, he simply said “win”. i really had that guy down, like damn. <3

31)  easiest part of writing

once i get a flow going, it’s all pretty easy. i find writing conversations particularly fun, though.

32) alternate title for (insert story title)

hmmm, y’know... i had something i wasn’t confident in before i settled on bts, but i can’t remember what it was. sorry!

i'm glad to hear that you're doing okay!! it seems like taking a break was a really good idea for you, i hope u take things at your own pace but i'm looking forward to seeing what you'll create!!

thanks, everyone! <333 i do kinda doubt anyone here will be familiar with the stuff i plan to write fic for, though, lol, one of the games i most want to write for is one where i don’t know anyone that’s played it ; ; but that will not stop me because i love it so much and it’s been waaaaaaaaaaay too fucking long. 

keeskeren replied to your post: anyway i finished reading the bartimaeus trilogy...

aaaa the bartimaeus trilogy is SO GOOD, i remember reading it a long time ago lol. i feel like it ends so perfectly, very satisfactorily!

imma cheat and choose three, okay, cause that’s my lucky number and my particular aesthetic cannot be captured in just ONE measly song (and links will be included

first off, sounds of freedom by within temptation, as mentioned in the last post

second, king and lionheart by of monsters and men (naturally they’d turn up, and it was tough picking just one)

yup, just dot com!!
