If you had a hippopotamus that could breathe fire and fly what would you name it??

I would probably name it Salvador, after Salvador Dali, because I suspect he saw it first.

how do you make your mood boards?

Hey friend, thank you for the question! It’s quite a process, actually. If I make a moodboard for a request, I start out with making a clear list of the information I have, together with ideas for colors and such.Then, I go to tumblr/google/pinterest and just ‘look around‘. Sometimes I search for specific quotes or images, sometimes I simply look up things like ‘blue aesthetic‘, to gather inspiration. I try to make combinations of clear-cut ‘object-images‘ (like: if an OC always wears trench coats or has a loyal dog, I will look up pictures of those), and images that are more focused on the personality of the OC.Browsing like that, I collect way to many images. When I think I have enough, I have a critical look at my pictures and my first list, and decide if I am missing an important aspect of the character. If possible, I try to have at least one image for each aspect/point on the list. When I think I have enough, I start combining things. I simply put together pictures in Paint, try different sizes and combinations. It is easy to see which set-ups look pleasing and which don’t. I shift around images till I have reached a balance in colors that I like. Sometimes I cannot use pictures I really like, because they do not fit the overall scheme.I hope this is not too much/too vague. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!

Why do you study history

Good morning! If I were to request an oc and have a picture/art reference, would that and a short description suffice for a aesthetic request?

Hello, friend! That would be fine. Most useful for me are answers on question such as: ‘what do they enjoy?‘, ‘what are they fighting for?‘, ’what kind of personality do they have? Are they timid, brave?‘A general sense of the story (is it a science-fiction, horror, fantasy?), also helps. If I have any more questions, I’ll simply ask them!

december 3rd??? what the fuck. what’s next? december 4th? a 5th of december???? give me a fucking break.

I have some animal companions for you! They are all animals my band of traveling artists, The Elements, encountered on the road and adopted, either because they were left behind by someone or because they have disadvantages that would have made surviving out in the wild hard for them.  The first one is Milton, named after the poet that wrote Paradise Lost. He’s something called an ‘epitaf’, which is a small rodent-like creature, but with a pointed beak instead of a snout. An epitaf has the ability to ‘read’ wishes, so if a hungry predator comes near them, they can feel their hunger and hide. They are extremely quick climbers and usually live in and around trees. However, Milton is albino, so he stands out quite a bit. Now he inhabits Tungsten’s top hat. 

Then there is Guiseppe, a simple sheepdog that was the victim of a levitation spell gone wrong. When the Elements found him, he was up in the air and almost strangled by the cord that bound him to a tree. He usually wears a weighted harness to keep him on the ground, but during performances The Elements sometimes gives him a basket to collect money and let him float at knee height. 

The third animal is a wren called Valentine. A wren is basically a very small dragon. They live up in Northern Scotland and are about the size of a cat. They are not usually domestic animals, but Silver has tamed this one and it enjoys sleeping in his lap. The scales and wings of a wren change colour according to the temperature/seasons. However, Valentine’s scales are extremely sensitive. If he lays next to a fire, he gets brighter green, while running an ice cube over his paws will leave white trails. 

Last but not least, there is Ginny (her actual name is Sigal). She is a so-called cliffdiver. Cliffdivers resemble horses, but instead of manes they have scales that run along their neck and over their foreheads, forming patterns around their eyes. Their bellies are also scaled. They are extremely fast and can speed up and slow down in a matter of seconds, the scales on their stomachs protecting them against pebbles and other matter flying up around their hooves. They live mostly in Norweay, where they tend to galop to the end of fjords and stop suddenly (making them look like they will jump off and earning them the name of cliffdiver). Because of their speed, cliffdivers are often used as warhorses. So was Ginny, who was left behind when she was wounded, turning her right eye blind.  

If you guys have any cool animal companions/creatures/monsters/cool plants in your wips, you should come tell me about them. I want to know. Reblog. Comment. Message me. Send an ask. Idc I just want to KNOW
