To the Whistling Winds (WIP) [UPDATED 09/18/2020]

So I haven’t touched Procreate or my iPad in a while, but I’ve actually really been enjoying drawing the ROs after a day of writing. It’s a pretty relaxing way to spend an hour or so, and it’s really fun to capture them visually too!

Chapter is currently around 7k words, and I did end up doing a stats overhaul. I’m really excited for this chapter to be published and to be read by you guys! Until then, take some art:

I started your demo, and even though I probably don’t have enough time to finish it today, I just wanted to mention that when I read this:

I visibly smiled. You’ve got a talent with words, this was the most amazing sentence I’ve read all week. :smile:

I think Mars’s name repeats too often in ch2 when she’s introduced. It’s awkward to read when almost every sentence has ‘Mars’ in it.
Ch4 had some typos which I intended to send screenshots of but realised I forgot to take them :expressionless: (sorry) hopefully other people can help with that. Wasn’t anything horrible just some word repetition, spelling and ‘an’ instead of ‘a’; it didn’t take away from the reading experience.

Also I love Ernest now.

And here I was imagining Tiffany like a black girl :laughing:
Just want to say I really like Teddy. He’s so sweet.

Thanks for pointing this out! I’ll take a look at it and see if it needs to be rewritten, and I’ll keep an eye out for the other typos too.

:heart: Glad to hear it!

@Bokeh
Ha, that’s funny because I described “Tiffany”/Clémence as being pale when she was introduced. But nope, she’s Korean. :slight_smile:

Glad you liked Teddy, and thank you for catching that typo.

So I’m curious, are you going to be using both Fae Courts in this game?

Hmm…Both will be mentioned, one will appear more than the other. But I’m also lovingly bastardizing lore as it suits me. Hope this answers your question!
