Art Prompt - Blog Posts

Tamara drawing in that one Peter Griffin screenshot art prompt, lol!

i just had to hop into that trend, it was so fun to do! Did two versions for Tam art with different color tones!

don't know if you are still doing requests but can i request a selkie husk au

An AU dealing with mythological creatures?

HELL YES

I kinda had half thought process and half winging it...

A Selkie from what I've read are creatures that are seals when out in the sea, and humans when on land. The way they transform is actually by shedding their "skin".

Now this is where my winging part came in, Husk was actually wounded and was force to retreat to land and wait for his injuries to heal. Now I had to research as much as my resources allowed me, and if a human were able to take the Selkie's skin then they are basically forced to marriage to that human. Let's just say Alastor, while his initial plan was to expand his hunting amongst seals, he doesn't mind catching himself a mythical creature as well.

Husk now bounded to Alastor (while reluctant and aggressive at first) has to be a devoted "husband", to which Alastor loves to play around the concept.

Ack, I need to draw this more often... BECAUSE THIS IS RADIOHUSK MATERIAL FOR ENEMIES TO LOVERS 💖💖💖

I hope you liked it nonetheless ^^

Ways to get to know your characters:

These are just some ways I do t, feel free to add your own tips!

Google sheets. Just google sheets. Make a sheet for your story and create categories to fill on your character's traits. Very simple example:

2. Making Pinterest boards. Listen maybe I'm biased because I'm on Pinterest more than I'm on Tumblr and it gives me the most intense nostalgia of any website/app ever, but it may be my most helpful tactic. This works in plenty of ways. Making a board for one story's character designs and making individual categories for each character in that board. Making individual board for each character's design, aesthetic, personality, whatever. No example but I think you get it.

3. I might sound like you lame ass ELA teacher from 9th grade or whatever when I say this, but plot mountains are really helpful. Now I don't mean the plot plot for all you, "I just start writing and am as surprised as my characters when everything goes to shit." writers like me, I'm talking about an internal plot. To explain, there is an external plot (exposition, rising action, climax, etc.) and internal plot (character development,) making external plot mountains isn't helpful for me because I want freedom in my writing. I know where it starts and sometimes where it stops and that's good enough, but writing the development of a character is good to outline just for the foreshadowing and because CHARACTER FLAWS ARE FUCKING IMPORTANT. (Cue the one post about eating mayo packets)

4. Mark their birthdays in your calendar. Like google calendar or whatever the fuck you use. Anyway, dedicate their birthday to just getting to know them. Make a wish list of presents they'd like, or a slideshow about the party activities they'd like, or a pinterest board about what their party theme would be. It's fun, I swear.

5. Make lists of a bunch of stuff. Their flaws, their strengths, their favourite thing, their pet peeves, their favourite people, their pets, their little quirks they have, etc.

6. Physical objects. Make them, buy them, or just stuff you already have. Make a little box of things they'd like or have. Treat them like a friend. A real person. It'll inspire you to write or draw more and you can come up with little backstories on the items.

7. Give them a catchphrase. Even if they never say it, it's cute. I like them. Most people do, I think.
