I've been falling behind on my fanfic writing... and all my other writing, for that matter.
And embroidery.
Oh, well. At least I've been drawing.
I'm pretty happy with how this one came out, but I do think that there are definitely some bits that need fixing (unfortunately, I'm terrible at working with Wite-Out) -- her hair, the wrinkles on the dress, some parts of her torso:

I am pretty darn happy with the crazy expression, though.

I should have said this before, but d'aw. It's so cute!

Oh, and Merry Christmas, everyone!

I like Pearl. Hasn't been in the story for very long, but she already has a ton of character. Gia, too.
(I mean, I like all of them, but still.)


Dang it, Pearl, that's not going to give a very good first impression.

Yeah.
As you can see, red canaries are the innocent victims and black canaries are CRUEL AND EVIL!!! XD
Ok, so Pearl was going to only appear that once, but since you like her I guess she’ll have to turn up again. Is she too much like Gia?
It’s good you said that actually. I found a gap where I can fit her.
I’m glad you like Gia though. I wasn’t sure if she would be like-able or unrealistically pushy.

That’s frightening I love it.
You know what’s weird? I was going to make Peregrine only have the little experience with Zephyr then time skip to when he’s all grown up because he was “too small to do anything. Now he’s having a whole adventure as a small child. Too bad though. I really like how I made him look as a grown up.

Hi, merry christmas guys, just checking in. I will respond to yalls posts soon!

Question about White Lilacs. Is it based present times or... when? And where?

It's supposed to be modern-day. As for the when, just a generic town I guess. It's not really important(I'm talking about the beginning of course).

Also I want to change the name of my story yet again bc in my next draft I will think I will change the lilacs to wildflowers. I think that will match the wild fantasy setting better. I'll have to think on that one

As for your story, let me take some time to read it and I'll give some critique if I can

On another note look what my 7-year-old sister made for me...she worked really hard on it and I love it so much!!

Another art thread! Well here's a quick explanation of what art I do. I usually do cartoony drawings and paintings but I do love painting realistic looking silkie chickens. I also attempt realistic looking sketches every once in a while. I used to sculpt but I haven't done that in a while. I don't have any pics of my art but I'll try to get some soon.

Hey there! I'd love to see some of your art! You might know that this is more of a chat thread but you are welcome to share your art here too if you like!

@Amer as for your story, maybe I'm out of it but I didn't feel any issues with the pacing. I thought the things you said you thought were problematic were actually just fine as they are.
Reading through it I only notice small nitpicks here and there with wording etc but nothing worth mentioning really. Great work!

I'm going to try and write some more of my own story. I may even completely rewrite these first two chapters because I'm still not happy with them. I know, I know, I'm sorry lol

I think that and the very end will be the biggest writing hurdles for me because I don't know how to believably get my character in and out of the fantasy world. It's annoying because I have the setting, the worldbuilding, the backstory, the characters, the plot twists, the overarching narrative/theme all perfectly laid out...and like, I have individual scenes in my mind...but I have no idea how to put it all together with a coherent plot grrr
