Hello again everyone! Man - if I could only get around to posting here more often. So much has happened since last time!!
I'll apologize in advance that this is going to be… a very large post I think. I'll try to keep it under control though!
I do have a lot of artwork I really really want to share but I think I'm going to leave that for later. Can't have that many images in one post!
Contest Update:Just gonna throw this out there - if you've entered one of my kit readoptions I'm still working on judging though I plan to have a final decision made before this weekend! Stay tuned. :) And thank you for your patience!
Seeking Critique:I'm very pleased I was able to finish my first NB artist entry yesterday!
I would greatly appreciate any critique or feedback so that I can improve for the next one - I'd love to hear your thoughts! The image link will take you to the thread where you can see them full size and let me know if you notice anything I could work on! Thank you so much in advance for any feedback!
Grown Up:Thanks to the wonderful and talented
Sanara my lovely baby Dove has been grown up! :)
I still need to work on her personality quite a bit - but I've finally decided that she identifies as transgender female! Well - she identifies as female, but isn't biologically. You know how it goes. I do know that she's not a very decisive kit though, and will occasionally slip back into her assigned gender if she's feeling particularly nervous about her new identity. She second-guesses herself all the time and seems to have gotten her dad Ambrose's more timid personality. That's really all I know right now - but hopefully I'll be able to develop her more in the near future! I've had… a lot going on lol.
New Faces:This will probably the biggest part of my post! I have a LOT of new faces to introduce to you all! I guess this is what happens when you don't post here for a full month. I'll try to keep them really brief!
Sybil - Female - Medieval -
Made by SixbanePretty and quick-witted, look - but don't touch. Her words are her poison. Best not to be fooled by a pretty face. Her intentions may not be outwardly malicious, but she knows how to take advantage of a supple heart.
Beatrice - Female - Medieval -
Made by SixbaneBorn to Lorna in secret, her mother's shame has hidden away this distant piece of royalty. Beatrice was sent to shore, cared for by the wife of a fisherman when she found the child in the surf. Before long, the attention brought by the child caused such strife for the family they had no choice but to send her away, out into the sea to care for herself. Unaware of her true history, Beatrice seeks to remember while her mother seeks to forget.
Ebon Avrich - Male - Futuristic (Dystopian) -
Given to my by Doktor Monty, thank you so much!!Ebon took an internship at Progress Labs early in his career. At seventeen years old, he's already working in some of the most complex programs. The labs may not be so straightforward as they seem, and Ebon has yet to learn the true depth of everything happening there. But the bright and shining idea of helping save the world, rid it of the warfare that has torn it to bits, is enough to keep him satisfied. But what other intentions does the lab really have for this clever young scientist?
Finley - Male - ModernIsolde's twin brother, you'll rarely see one without the other. Fin is the king of selfies and has little aspiration other than a wistful dream of traveling the world. You wouldn't believe what he goes through to keep his hair under control under the ocean waves - who even knew they made product for that? He's a delight to spend time with, but doesn't always have the best sense of the big picture in life. He's flouncy, bad with money, and a sweetheart, but a little misguided at times.
Isolde - Female - ModernAlways at her brother's side, Finley's lack of ambition has rubbed off a bit on his sister. Rather than trying to find her own way, she's always following after his tumultuous wishes and laughing the days away. She has a great time, but would rather like to think a handsome, rich young man will come sweep her off her feet and care for her the rest of her days than to actually try to get her own feet on the ground, so to speak. Life under the sea is blissful, so why worry? The frivolous lifestyle can't last forever, but for now, why not enjoy it?
Tourmaline - ??? - Modern -
Made by naumachyNo one seems quite sure what gender they are - it's impossible to tell. But their voice is so silky smooth it doesn't really seem to matter. A very good listener, not much of a talker, Tourmaline spends their time under the sea and wandering around shore, collecting shells, pearls, and stories. Somewhere along the way, someone made the mistake of introducing them to Pokemon. They went through quite a serious effort to figure out how to get a game console that can be carried around hundreds of meters below the surface. That and a lot of special packaging. It's not odd to find them washed up on shore trying to catch a shiny, but they'll always stop for a good round of conversation. They seem to always need to stay moving, however, and would love to braid shells and other ocean trinkets into your hair while you're around. Their lifestyle is rather quiet but you'll never catch Tourmaline looking down.
Relationships:If you're interested in developing any relationships with any of my kalons, please don't hesitate to PM me but do understand that I have a lot of PMs going in and out most of the time and sometimes I forget to respond. I will try my best to keep up with anything but please don't hesitate to send me another message to give me a poke! :) I would love to develop more relationships but that can be a little tricky to balance for me - so you'll need a little patience - sorry about that! I would definitely be down to share Discord info though - it's usually a little easier for me to HC there versus here.
I'm not looking for any RPs right now as I already can't keep up with the ones I am involved in… again - my apologies!
I think that's finally all for today - phew!
I'll come back to share the artwork I've received recently soon I hope!
