I never speak much of the characters of my first novel. The One Novel. That fat book I couldn’t get published because it was a bad economic situation for the industry/ I was a novel writer/ It was a saga/ The email went missing. Whatever. But someday it will come out, a publishet will say “yes” and the HBO will make an amazing show of my story. Dreaming is free.

and the 1million cologne guy for Gadonard, because he's a suave madafaka.

I love your style and character designs! And you're right, what they want most says a lot about them... It's very intriguing!

Thank you so much! Knowing your characters' fears and desires is a good way to know them

The characters look really interesting~
I hope it gets published~~

Thank you so much! I hope too. For now, my boyfriend insist that I should have the 2nd volume finished before trying again. Perhaps that would convince the publishers of my persistence and that I am a reliable writer. This is a business after all U.U

Well, that sounds like a plan.
Maybe you don't need to write whole second volume but just part of it. So than editors can see that you're working on the second book already.

It's another possibility, thank you for the advice! I hadn't thought of it.

All of them I want to know more... Damn sonnn
OCs are my favourite, fanart is fun but these are the heart of a person ya know?

Thank you so, so much
OCs can really show the most vulnerable part of yourself, specially the ones you created when you were a teenager, because they tend to be more like yourself, even if then they evolve and aren't like you anymore.

Oh, Laerith! She can be pretty, though it often goes unnoticed because she looks like a zombie doll most of the time (her magic, anxiety and desire for vengeance truly consume her).
Thank you so much

I know that feel. Are you going to publish chapters here on tumblr? Or Wattpad?

Well, I should translate it all to English first. And though I'd love, LOVE, to share them anywhere, I'm afraid that would severe my chances with a publishing house. You know, they want exclusivity and I'm not ready to drop that bullet yet U.U

Oh, I feel ya! I'm also in the process of writing The One Novel.
Sadly not many people in my country like reading so it's really difficult to get published, since the interest towards books is not so much, in general. :/
Have you ever considered self publishing? I know I'm going to. It's not the same thing, but eh, what can you do.
I love my characters so much, I wonder what they'd want the most. Uhmmm... that's a good question to think about.
Your characters look lovely btw, I'd be happy to see more of them. <3
The two girls particularly stand out, in my opinion. :3

Ah, when the reading market is low it's like a slap on the face indeed U.U I already self-published a smutty romance novel that I wrote for the sake of laughter and cringe, and though the sales are nonexistent (It's a very specific genre and in Spanish), I'm very happy and proud of doing so, because... Look! There's my book, and I don't have to worry about the lacking sales because they're not going to remove it because of that. Also, in Amazon they've got a service called CreateSpace, where they print your book on demand, and the quality is really good.
So go for your dream, and you'll see that, after publishing the first, you start losing fear and want to write more books. It's like here in DeviantArt; at the beginning you're terrified and nobody notices you, but if you keep going on and on and never give up, no matter the silence, one day bam!! People start noticing you and the hardest part is behind you. And from then on, you just need to start delivering material and doing your best.
Thank you so much for your words. It's a good question to ask your characters, also what do they fear, or what's the kind of person they'd like to become. And my two girls... XDDD They couldn't pass unnoticed even if they tried! Their weirdness is too strong XD

try self publishing. If you had more success since then, leverage that. If you haven't, use Amazon or other self publishing platforms and get some copies out. If you have patreon you can distribute copies as rewards.
By the way, does the characters in your novel speak English or do they have their own language. Your calligraphy evokes a different feel then English. It almost feels like some other script being adapted to write English.

I already self-published a smutty/romance/comedy novel , though for now it's only in Spanish and the sales are... quite dead. Though the ones who have read it have loved it! Even non-romance fans. The problem is, once you self-publish, the publishing houses don't want your novel anymore because they can't have exclusivity, even if you withdraw it from the market for them. Such a pity, because it forces you to make a choice that could go very well or quite meh U.U
But you're right on every advice though! I've thought of some Kickstarted campaign for the Big One, with artbooks and many other goodies. It would be a big step and I'd need lots of help and sensible people around for advice and organization, but if I start it once I have the complete saga written, what could stop me?
They speak another language, it's a whole different, made up world; they live just in the frontier place of two countries and both their cultures and races (humans and shiras) are quite mixed. Every one in the picture is human and speaks in their tongue but the girl with the braid; she's a hybrid and speaks both languages. As a result, since the blonde one is her soul friend, she's learnt a bit of the other language too. I'm very excited that you noticed it

Wow, these tie in nicely with the theme of my current works posted. You should check it out. Nice job by the way. They're lovely!

maybe if you publish small extracts on Deviantart, the demand for this book will increase and you'll be able to publish it because the editor will be sure you'll have readers...
(Yes, I just really want to read it and that's a crappy excuse

It's not a bad idea, though many publisher houses demand exclusivity, and doing so could blow up my chances. It's a double-edged weapon, but I haven't discarded it yet

Well, Stjepan Sejic did so with Death Vigil, Sunstone and Switch and he got all three published by top cow. Same with his wife who made Blood Stain
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's true! I love his work and I follow her wife's too. And now Sunstone is in comic shops in my country... translated to Spanish and all! I'm so happy and jealous for him.
It's a good idea, and I'll keep it in mind... heavily

Mola! sigue enviándola que al final alguna editorial aprovechará la oportunidad de hacerse rico a costa de tu talento

XDDDD Según mi novio, debería escribir el segundo libro también, y eso aumentaría mis probabilidades con los editores. Ya sabes, si he escrito el 1º y el 2º, eso significa que soy capaz de escribir el 3º (y último, espero!) y no dejarlos en la estacada. Pero madre mía, esta es la historia más compleja que tengo, y el silencio de las editoriales me destrozó más de lo que cabría esperar.
Pero oye, que un día la saco, la envío, me la aceptan y van a cagar ladrillos todos ellos!!

Esa es una opción, otra es sacrificar parte del argumento y cerrar en el primer libro lo suficiente como para que sea una historia autoconclusiva pero con posibilidad de continuación. Funciona como libro por si mismo y si lo peta tienen la posibilidad de doblar la apuesta.
En muchas sagas el primer libro suele funcionar por si solo.
El resto será escribir por las mañanas y nadar en la piscina de monedas de tio Gilito por las tardes.

Ése es el azote de mi existencia... Todo lo que pasa en el libro es necesario, he recortado ya por todas partes y por la forma en que funciona la historia, no puede ser autoconclusivo. Entiendo lo que sugieres, y es un consejo genial, es sólo que para este libro en concreto no puedo hacerlo T__T Pero lo tendré en cuenta para próximas sagas!
A mí lo de la piscina de dineros me mola. Pero mejor billetes de 500 euros, que están más blanditos, que con las monedas me destrozo la cocorota como aterrice XD

Oh, me too! Since I had to endure all the silence and rejected proposals, I have a hard time going back to this story, but it never stops calling me, and one wonders... perhaps people could like it, if it's just given a big chance.
Thank you!

Completely understandable. I mean you put a lot of time and effort into your novel it's a part of you. Have you ever consider publishing it yourself?
