Romantasy is too speedy for me. I need SLOWMANTASY. Similar to romantasy but there's no kissing until at least 4 books in.

Sentence I had fun with from today's editing:

"Anything else I should know about?" he asked, then, with a faint smile: "If you have a tendency to light grease fires in the kitchen, you should tell us now."

(Context: setting up a sensitive magic item in MC's house)

Inktober Day 3: Crown
In Which I Do Concept Art for a Vague Fairy-Tale Idea

I don't have (many) concrete story details, but I have started worldbuilding. One idea is that the higher class go for shorter hair, since it's a subtle mark of having extra time and resources.

I'm sure there were many more, but the first one that comes to mind is Michael Hagues' Book of Dragons! A) it was dragons, and B) there was such a variety of dragons that I always had fun flipping through its vibrant pages (even if I didn't always like the goofier depictions).

Inktober Day 2: Weave
In Which I Attempted to Doodle Symbolism (Hornet weaving Pharloom back together/weaving through Pharloom) Mostly Without References
Not my best work, but an attempt was made

Silver Pennies! I don't remember every "acquiring" it—it was just there, on one of the family bookshelves. I think I loved it partially because it was such an old-feeling book, one that no one else seemed to read or notice; it made it feel like a special secret.

I can't remember any specific books, but I was deeply into both geology (specifically precious stones) and herbs (despite being horrible at identifying plants irl). And of course, there was a dinosaur phase—they were close enough to dragons that I was compelled lol

Hello!
I'm brand new to this platform, so I'll be sharing some stuff I've already worked on/posted elsewhere to start off. In this case, that'll be the 23ish drawings I managed for Inktober. We'll see what comes after that!

Inktober Day 1: Mustache
In Which Kathryn Torments an Innocent Eabennor

I couldn't remember any characters of mine with mustaches (drawing facial hair is Not my forte), but then I asked myself: who would wear a fake mustache? and, well—

(characters are from my supervillain WIP)

#inktober

My two main projects:
1: Serial story: an agent hopes to hide a fugitive; a teenager struggles to investigate a shapeshifting dragon.
2: WIP: The adopted son of a supervillain infiltrates a hero training site, gets victimized by the power of friendship.
