SKY PIECE

A collab I did with the wonderful icez.25 on Instagram!! I did the line art, and if you head to Ice’s page you can see everything beautifully colored!! These are our sky characters!! Ice’s character on the left, mine on the right- Ice has all the cool customizations, I’ve got some, but not as many haha. I know what my bio says, however Ice and I have known each other for 10 years or so, and we’ve been dying to do something together!! Ice introduced me to Sky: Children of the Light a couple of years ago, and I really enjoy playing it- after a year hiatus or so, as decided to start playing it again and it’s gotta be one of my favorite games- the story is really nice, and I love how calm and collaborative it is. I hope y’all like it, and please head over to icez.25!

Her tumblr is here

[ID: Digital full body illustration of two characters from Sky: children of the light that are uncolored on a purple background with a white circle background that is slightly cut off at the bottom from the ground. Both characters are running to the left, and holding hands, the smaller front character leading the larger, behind character. sky children have a cape that functions as wings, simple clothing, and full face masks that only highlight their eyes. The front character is smaller, and has her hair pulled up in two braided buns on the top of her head, along with her bangs being twisted on either side of her face. She has a keyboard on her back that is partially visible, and a more bird-like cape. She has a bow tie, and her shirt is tucked into bulkier pants. Her body faces forward, but her head is turned back to the other character. Her mask has a four sided diamond on her forehead. The second character faces solely left, and has a more traditional shaped cape. Her bangs covers her mask’s diamond, and she has two braided pigtails with two strands of hair sticking up at the top of her head. She has a long shirt that hangs past her waist, and baggy pants. Her other arm is mostly covered by her cape, but you can see it flying behind her.

Image 2: Close up of the first, shorter character. The crop fully encompasses her body, and the forearm of the second, taller character. The background is mostly the white circle, with the purple visible on the left side.

Image 3: Close up of the second, taller character. The crop encompasses her full body, and is cropped at the first character’s forearm. Most of the background is the white circle, with the right side partially being purple.

Image 4: Close up of the first character’s face. The crop shows her whole head and cuts off before the chest. The background is fully white.

Image 5: Close up of the second, taller character’s head. The crop is cut before the chest, and the background is solely white.

Image 6: Blurred image of the colored illustration with a white logo saying “LEAVES AND INKS” along with handwritten type reading “Go to @icez.25 (Instagram) to see the colored illustration!!”. There is a white border around the edge of the photo./end ID]

TIaF Edits Teaser - Chapter 18

“Assault?” Miss Lihua holds her arm out, stepping to block you further from Red Son. “Little torch, this is the one who you said attacked you?”

Little torch??

“Obviously, Mother Lihua!” He wildly gestures to you. “They must be punished for their wrongdoing!”

Mother Lihua????

“Wait. Can—can someone explain what the hell is going on right now?” You ask suddenly, waving to both of them for their attention. “Why did he just call you ‘Mother Lihua’? And—how do you even know him??”

Miss Lihua looks between you and Red Son, holding her hands in front of her and taking a breath. She says, “An explanation of that caliber will take much too long, I’m afraid. The most I can tell you right now, without needing to sit down and answer all your questions I know you’ll have, is that I helped Lady Iron Fan raise him.”

Pages 60-65!

Hi! From the fic writer asks: 3, 7 and 26? 💖

from fic writers asks 2023!

*tacklehugs!!* >:3 GOOD QUESTIONS, thank you, lovely friend!!

3. What’s something you learned about yourself as a writer?

hmmmm. I've just realised that I've spent a big chunk of this year working on original projects, which is not something I expected. something I learned would be that I can make this transition? I've got a little verse developing: an original novella in the works, and a short story in the verse half-written. it's been really, really good.

7. What character(s) captured your heart?

GREAT QUESTION. For 2023, Halsin gets the crown 😂 the wolf bois still have my heart, halsin is the new entry. sweet nature himbo built like a brickhouse carrying many, many traumas, okay. also, Porter. suave flashy vampire that uses his charm to mask his trauma. are you sensing a theme? ahahahaa <3

otherwise, i'm gonna cheat and say my original characters. Andreas.

26. If you had to choose one, what was THE most satisfying writing moment of your year?

Hehehehe does writing the very self-indulgent first kiss and more moments for halsin in sweeter than honey count? >:3 <3

Poll adventure (paventure? lol) Day 15: read the small story tidbit below the poll for more details, OR just vote based on initial impression

(✦ see past poll results + further information HERE (link) ✦)

Yesterday's poll decided that The Adventurer should purchase some new shoes for himself while he's in the city...

~

It costs quite a bit of coin, but in the end he decides that having a new sturdy pair of boots will serve him well on his travels. After he's done in the shop, he rushes back to the local inn before nightfall, eventually settling into a somewhat restless sleep..

The next morning, he orders some cheap vegetable stew from a food stall, then lounges in a park as he has his breakfast, watching the squirrels weave through flowering trees and birds pecking about in the dewy grass.. When finished with his meal (and sufficiently recovered from the emotional turmoil of burning his tongue on the soup), he quickly sells his old pair of shoes to a sketchy pawn shop before finally getting back to his journey...

By his calculations, if he he walks all day, it should only be two more sleeps before he gets to his destination, so he sets out to travel as efficiently as possible. He doesn't have the money to rent a cart, or the skill to ride a borrowed horse, but, he does have some fancy new walking shoes and a renewed sense of purpose. No more meandering through fields looking for flowers, napping in the shade, or scanning the ground for cool rocks.. He's going to focus this time!

......After a few hours, he comes across a broken down carriage in the middle of the road, with few people surrounding it, seemingly stuck trying to repair a wheel or something. It's hard to discern from afar..

Maybe if he helps them, he could get a free ride.. or some coins.. or make a new lifelong friend! Who knows? Possibilities flood his mind, this is what adventuring is all about! Wandering into interesting situations and making the most out of them!! .. But, then he recalls his previous oath.. he's supposed to focus today and not allow himself to sidetracked.. And who says he has the skills to help anyway? It could always just be a waste of time... Hmm...

What should he do?

You're welcome 🥹

I want to be more up to date with manga translations, but we're slowly getting there... I'm going to need to start recruiting new people again relatively soon.

I'm doing far too much introspection lately, can't i just go back to calmly reading fiction?
