Description I wanted to draw a stylized version of Ender... because i haven't been able to draw her very well. I wasn't too happy with how i made her before so i wanted to make an updated version. I like this better. 
i want to draw her with her biker gear, but that may take some time. i'm not used to drawing bike helmets. 
i have absolutely no idea about how Earthen One looks... probably like a hippie. 

art and character are (C) Lear-is-not-amused

Hhmm. I like this version a lot more (not that the first design wasn't good it just didn't quite suit her literary counterpart). 
She also seems to have a lot more personality in this version. I like her skeptical expression. It's perfect for her!

Oh good
Ha ha! You managed to capture her personality well then (lol, ironically edgy XD!).

You should be! It's a nice design.

Great!
I look forward to seeing what you come up with for her. Are you planning to draw the Earthen One as well?

Ha ha! I imagined, when reading, the he'd look like a washed up old hippie XD

maybe... why is he so boring to me?

Vivocateur In reply to Lear-is-not-amused [2017-06-09 04:04:48 +0000 UTC]

I dunno. 
Maybe he's just not interesting to you. Or maybe he's still too generic in your mind and just needs more development.
Sometimes when a character seems boring (and they aren't supposed to be boring) it's because they lack a strong motivation. So far he seems to be someone who has given up and is pretty much just waiting around to die. Ender is the one with all the plans and all the pent-up, conflicting, feelings. He seems a bit like he's half-dead already (and not just in terms of his sickness). While that's not necessarily a problem for the story (seems like a good potential source of friction with the more active Ender which is nice) it might be worth considering why he's given up.

he's not tbh XD he's just there to be a motivation for Ender to do what she does. but yeah, you're right, he's basically given up and sick. but yeah, it's a good idea to consider his reasoning...

Vivocateur In reply to Lear-is-not-amused [2017-06-09 17:04:28 +0000 UTC]

That's probably why you find him so boring XD 
I mean, I doubt he's ever going to be as interesting to you as Ender, but you can probably discover something if you give it some thought. 
Like, clearly humanity in this setting has turned away from nature in favour of their concrete and neon constructed reality, which would entirely explain why he's sick. But not why he isn't striving to survive. You've got other gods in your story (like Miss Fortune) who found themselves in a similar situation but they were more inclined to fight or to adapt to the changing world. What prevents EO from doing the same? 

I quite enjoyed your most recent entry. I like the way you've been building up some mystery.

Lear-is-not-amused In reply to Vivocateur [2017-06-09 17:29:35 +0000 UTC]

yup if he were a villian he'd probably be more fun. 
well, I think he gave up after he lost Oceania, who was kind of like, his wife. I'm starting to think he won't ever return Ender's feelings, which i can play with a bit. he's probably seen others like himself fade away and decided it's not worth fighting and he should just go with some dignity. 
Fortune didn't fight, she probably was giving up until the Priest found her lol. 
but don't worry, I'll have more on that later. 

thanks

That's because villains are almost always more fun XD 
Ah. That makes sense. That will give you something interesting to play with then (lol, and frustrating for your protagonist!) 
Ah...I figured somehow that she had been seeking ways of surviving and come across the priest (but I guess he found her instead). Excellent. That story line in an interesting one.

Unless they're too basic XD like my stupid priest
Only if my priest who has yet to be named gets ahold of him I can see Earthen One becoming the villian... he might cause the city to be overrun with carnivorous plants to take back what is his
Lol maybe your characters have to enlist Enders help to stop him
I think when you're sick you have no desire to do anything which is the point some of the entities are at.

Vivocateur In reply to Lear-is-not-amused [2017-06-10 23:14:14 +0000 UTC]

Ah ha! Yeah! Earthen One would actually make a pretty good villain. (I wonder if your priest would be manipulating him for his own ends, or if EO would, one restored via "treatment", would turn out to be beyond his control?)
I do actually have a villain already planned for my characters (not that a connection to your priest would be much of stretch).

hmmm well I think maybe both seem likely for that, lol. 
lol is it Paradiso? though lol maybe they get a news broadcast about happenings and are just like "huh" and that's it XD

Vivocateur In reply to Lear-is-not-amused [2017-06-11 00:44:52 +0000 UTC]

Lol yeah! Either scenario seems perfectly possible. 
Ha ha ha! I won't spoil it (you'll be able to read it soon and find out). 
Lol! Could be. My characters aren't even in the same city as Ender and EO.

Lear-is-not-amused In reply to Vivocateur [2017-06-11 00:51:45 +0000 UTC]

i think they both are a factor, to be honest. Earthen One can be manipulated if the guy is good enough at it, and i think the treatment might have negative side effects. 
lol ok. 
i know, which is why it would be in the news cause it's happening elsewhere, lol

Oh! Nasty side effects? I hadn't even thought of that (what a great idea!). 
Probably getting all of your belief from a bunch of poor unfortunates trapped in tanks isn't the best now that I come to think about it XD

Lear-is-not-amused In reply to Vivocateur [2017-06-13 02:03:47 +0000 UTC]

yes! it's important for my plot that there are nasty side effects. 
i'm kind of not in the mood to write for a while, though. 
no, no it is not.
