I had my thesis defense today, and I'd say it went well. In my speech I thanked my teachers but here I also want to thank my mosspouse cimi (@dashadowgirl) and everyone else who occasionally went kind of insane over my artworks in the past few months.

Breakdowns of each work coming maybe. if I feel like it. I am drenched in rain.

I was asked to do a portrait of Conan Gray this morning during our live and I only got to finish the inks because I was having so much fun with their hair.

So, I'm uploading the inks for anyone who wants to color along with me.

Feel free to download and have fun.

Sending Big Hugs from the Hobbit Hole. ♥♥♥

Writing Notes: How to Choose POV

A Quick Guideline on Choosing POV

Refresher: Definitions

First-Person Singular: First-person singular narration uses the pronoun “I” and is the most commonly used form of first-person point of view. This style is perfect for character-driven novels and creates a close, immersive connection between the reader and the story. However, this type of narration limits the author and the reader to a single character’s experiences, feelings, and knowledge.

First-Person Plural: This first-person narration style utilizes the pronoun “we” and is less commonly used. It combines the intimacy associated with first-person with the flexibility of third-person omniscient. First-person plural can be effective when done well but can be tedious and is limited to the collective voice.

Second Person: Second person utilizes “you” for the narrator but is more commonly used in short stories. This style easily fosters close bonds between the readers and the characters as you start to feel as if they are you.

Third-Person Limited: Narration in third person limited relies on she/her, he/him, they/them, etc., pronouns as well as the character’s name. This point of view limits the author and reader to one character’s perspective allowing the writer to exercise the closeness of first-person singular through thoughts and feelings while also offering the broader perspective of third person.

Third-Person Omniscient: This type of narration also utilizes the character’s preferred personal pronouns and name and gives the narrator god-like storytelling abilities as they can reveal any character’s thoughts, go to any time or setting, know information the characters are unaware of, and comment on events in the past, present, and future. The degree to which these abilities are used is up to you. Third-person omniscient is popular among novelists with large casts and complex plots. However, this style can lead to too many shifts in perspective.

Tips for Choosing POV

You may find that you have a preferred point of view and then realize it’s not a good fit once you start writing your story. Many writers worry about finding their voice, but sometimes the story finds it for you. If you’re unsure which point of view to choose, consider these tips to help you pick.

Explore your options. You won’t know which POV to use unless you try them all. Try writing or rewriting a scene from your story in each POV to see which style fits your novel best.

Establish your POV. Once you’ve picked a style, stick to it and let your audience know which character they’re experiencing the story through.

Note limitations. POV will decide what information your character is privy to and thus determine their actions and opinions. Take time to review your work with your character’s limitations in mind to keep your writing accurate.

Don’t be afraid to change. If you find yourself drifting into another POV as your novel progresses, don’t shy away from revising your work into the best perspective for your story. It’s also important to note that some books shift from first to third to second, and it may benefit you to find examples of novels with varied narration to help you learn to master this style.

Colourisation of my fanmade TARDIS design. The Shinto and Art Nouveau inspiration I feel comes through a bit more strongly here (done to emphasise her organic nature), but I think I picked up some Meso-American influence along the way with the green-purple contrast.

Of course, this takes the TARDIS further away from the original gothic look I had in mind, but I suppose adding colour will do that~.

With my latest Orpheus and Eurydice post I remebered I got commissioned to do their first failed reunion by a magazine. I usually don't post client work here but this is relevant to my personal interests.
