Drafting before transferring

Halfway through writing the poems in the drafted textblock.

I only used one out of four signatures, so it’s a lot less dense than I thought it would be.

After a couple years of planning, rearranging, and writing, I’m finally drafting the mock-up poetry book

Planning out every part; the end leaves, title page, about, table of contents, transition pages

Once I draft all this, I’ll start on the real thing. Just making sure I have enough pages and signatures (and pages per signature) before i eventually make one leatherbound and gilded

Handwrit font will be a different calligraphy by the final as well

if anyone has ANY help or input for how i can do what i want with my image gallery, that would be IMMENSELY helpful

if not for free than at least a quote for the time and effort, i am at my wick's end trying to create a lightbox gallery the way i want it.

i have a photoshopped image of what im trying to accomplish if it helps

essentially - when you click on an image in my gallery, i want it to expand, be center of the webpage, dim the whole website with a dark, transparent background, frame the image in an opaque container, the container extends further downward to also contain the descriptive text of the image. when you click anywhere, it closes the image.

ideally i would love to add left and right arrows on the left and right sides of the image to navigate to the next or previous image, but i at the least want the image container.

Here is the gallery page as it is current

here is what i photoshopped the enlarge feature to ideally look like:

still working on the gallery.

goal is when you click on the preview image, it shows the full image (within reasonable size) with a text box to the side showign the title, year, etc info, meanwhile everything behind the image is dimmed.

additional goal of having the gallery be navigable within the image via left/right arrow buttons.

i have a couple outlines for some party dynamics and "quests" wherein one of them was solas, dirthadin, dorian, and varric going to explore some ancient elvhen ruins for anthropological research, mostly as a means of getting solas and dirth Ready To Ship(tm)

after that, there would be some conversation between Vivienne, Solas, and Dirthadin about magic and magic schools, much to Solas' dismay toward Vivienne's Opinions.

i also have a whole section already written, but felt too self conscious to include in the originally posted fic that Abelas and the other ancient elves are essentially eunuchs (i have a whole explanation in-fic, but thats the closest real-world comparison i can make atm, including a third-gender elvhen word i cobbled for them), which would be my headcanon explanation in this particular fic why they just havent Made More Elves. its also a fun way to make abelas a stone top.

i wrote a couple thousand words tonight but i might not write much else for a while since im on a fallout kick while also writing a fallout fic, meanwhile im struggling to remember the exact events of DAI, which is kind of important for a chronological retelling of DAI through Dirth's eyes.

i dont know if i'll publish the fallout fic, its mostly for me, but if i get to a point i can refine it, i would like to post it on ao3.

spring/summer are always productive for me. seasonal depression kicks my ass so hard sometimes. let alone i had really shit low self esteem during the time i was writing Keepers.

initially i had outlined three "chapters" - a Dirthadin chapter titled Keeper of the Dead, a Solas chapter titled Keeper of Deceit, and an Abelas chapter titled Keeper of Despair. I had a very very very loose and vague fourth chapter about post-well Dirthadin dedicated to being Mythal's chosen titled Keeper of the Damned.

Courier 6 sketches <3

My best friends love fallout so they bought me all the games + DLCs a couple years ago. I finally started with Vegas. About 100 hours in.

Lost his sunglasses at Big MT. He fucking hates those stupid brains and what they did to him. Got scars all over his legs being bitten by those got damn nightstalkers.

I bought Gehenna. It’s a really fun sword.

I’ll be real I haven’t actually named him. Debating on Coyote.

He looks serious but he just has a bad case of RBF. He’s a little silly when he’s not being Traumatized by everything fucking with his body.

WIP

My second or third time ever drawing furries.

Hoping to make the paned slops and sleeves. I have a corset I can add gold trim and ribbon to. I have shoes I can embellish. Would need to make the choker and cuffs. Debating how I want to do the necklace.

White face paint on my face and chest, white nylon gloves, white nylon stockings. Debating if I want to add trim on the stockings and gloves.

Red eyeliner, red sclera contacts, red eyelashes, gold eyeshadow, red pointed nails, red beads on my exposed top scars (with strung teardrop beads dangling), debating between red or gold pasties, red droplets on the choker, red tear drop beads on my face. Short red eyebrows, keep my beard and mustache, put up my hair with beaded clips.

Difficult project. I’ve never done a full outfit yet. I’ve made several half-ass garments but not to this extent yet. We’ll see how it goes by the end of the year.

Spent a little time loosely redesigning Vigil’s uniform

He was an old final fantasy OC before he became his own thing so I’m struggling to give him anything but a ff13 gunblade ORZ

His main color palette is black, silver, and blue. Blue hair and eyes, blue one-shoulder cape, mostly black tactical gear with bits of metal.

Some glowing blue lights, like flash lights on his knuckles, four shoulder sensors with his rank, and a couple strips of sensor lights on his collar.

Wolf hoodie progress!

I’m going to add a wolf tail.

An old OC I sketched for the first time in years.

His name is Vigil Song. He enlisted in a special forces military at 18 that specialized in super powers and aliens. He became first lieutenant at 23 with his own specialized platoon. He has a black box inserted in the back of his neck that collects all memories until death.
