Phoenix and Annabelle Get Interviewed For a Villainous Job





Hello everyone,  

I didn't make a post for the holiday season last year (2020), but that was because I had this post planned which took a little longer than I intended for it to take. Instead of one video I planned to post two. And with filming and video editing, uploading and everything, it took a lot longer than oringally I assumed it would. 

Ginny Di has done three POV videos  for Dungeons and Dragons character development: one that is a healer, one that is a matchmaker and one that is a villain. The videos are fun to watch, because they make you be in character and answer the questions in character, rather than answering the questions for your character. While these were originally intended for Dungeons and Dragons characters, I thought they would also work for the characters from my novels. Even though the villain video does mention a few Dungeons and Dragons terms it can still work really well in a Fantasy setting. So, I decided to use my two characters, Phoenix (from All is Not Lost For All Will Begin Again) and Annabelle (The Lady Annabelle mystery series), and make them react separately to being interviewed by a villain

Let's begin:

In Annabelle's interview, the events that she mentions happen in book two (the death of her fiance, etc.)

In Phoenix's interview, this is long before he is working for Reyvon, so he has no job and is desperate at this point.

Watercolor Paintings and Pencil Sketches

 

Hi everyone,

 I have two acting videos that I am in the middle of editing, which I hope to post sometime soon. In the meantime, since editing for those kinds of things takes so long (and since some of the footage got messed up), I am going to present for you my most recent drawings instead: 

A water color painting of Merricat from We've Always Lived in the Castle
I really like how her hair turned out. 

I had intended to turn this drawing of Phoenix into a water-color painting, however, I really liked how it turned out as a pencil sketch so I didn't want to paint it and mess it up. 

 I was thinking it would be neat to paint it digitally in the future.

I am not going to give out all the information for this yet (because this is something for a gothic story that I am plotting at the moment), but I used this doodle as a way to illustrate my character, Matilda's point of view. This doodle shows what happened in the story from her perspective, at least at the moment what I know of it. 


And this follows the same theme. But this time illustrating her brother, Felix's point of view. 


A painting of Chirara, I really like how it turned out, especially her hair. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Which sketch or painting is your favorite? And would you like to see me digitally paint my drawing of Phoenix?
