5 Tips On Fantasy ReligionsI'm not looking for a religious discussion. If someone starts one, I will rip your face off and block your comments.
1. How involved a deity is affects religion. At least in fantasy, anyway. Now of course there are plenty of fantasy religions that don't bother to clear up whether a god actually exists, and the driving elements of the story or more about religion and power rather than spirituality. So considering whether god or gods actually really do exist at all in your story is a perfectly cromulent question. However, if a god does exist, and is constantly involved in the lives and well-being of its worshipers, enemies or non-believers might think twice before some serious smiting ensues. For that matter, followers of an attentive god might watch their mouths. (Look at the Greek Gods and what they did for slights!) A god may be protective, but that doesn't necessarily mean benevolent. In fact, a god or gods may have the att

5 Pieces of Critique You Should Always Disregard1. "I have a problem with your premise." This is the red flag to end all red flags. I don't care how flimsy the premise is. Every idea has the potential to be a good story. Execution is something else entirely, but if somebody doesn't like your idea: don't listen to them. What they're basically saying is "I am not an Ideal Reader, therefore not your target audience, therefore I am not the right person to critiquing your work." I hate, hate, hate people who think you should be writing for broader audiences than your story is capable of reaching. If you're writing romance, you're writing romance for romance readers. You're not trying to reach hard science fiction readers. Very few people even know what makes a breakout mainstream novel that has high market appeal. If they did, every single book ever written would be Harry Potter. It just doesn't happen. And for somebody to ask you to make that happen is ridiculous and unfair.

I'm experimenting with color, so I thought I'd throw up a wallpaper. 1024 x 768, although I can certainly add different sizes if people want them. The quote is one that inspired the series.

Oh that looks gorgeous! Fabulous rendering style, I'm quite sure I haven't seen anything like it. At first sight it looks like papercuts with textured and colorful paper, but then it turns out not to be so simple. I really can't tell how you did it

Glad you like, Majnouna. Means a lot coming from you!

Well you're a very good illustrator!

I don't like the creature on the left, it looks like you glued horns to him.

Yes! It is posted. Now I may drool streams of drool that will threaten to overflow your gallery. What a great reward for posting this, huh?

They compliment each other amazingly well in style, color, and pose. I love how the square like pattern of Vinnie boy's quills extend into the patterning on his shadows and highlights.

I dig it! You did a nice job not making the color overwhelming but still eye-catching.
