Warning to writers

While you are worrying about whether beta readers will steal your ideas, there is a more genuine threat on the horizon.

When offered a publishing contract, please do all your research before you sign. There are a number of fakes and scammers out there, as well as good-intentioned amateurs that don’t know how to get your work to a wide audience. I won’t tell the heartbreaking stories here - there are too many.

Being published badly is worse than being never published.

It can destroy your career and your dreams.

The quick check is to google the publishing house name + scam or warning.

But, to be sure, check with these places first. They aren’t infallible (nothing is) but they can help you protect yourself. They are written and maintained by expereinced writers, editors, publishers and legal folks.

Writer Beware

and the WRITER BEWARE blog

Keep yourself and your work safe.

This is really important, so if you are a writer or have writer friends, or you are a writing blog, please reblog it.

For artists who have problems with perspective (furniture etc.) in indoor scenes like me - there’s an online programm called roomsketcher where you can design a house/roon and snap pictures of it using different perspectives.

It’s got an almost endless range of furniture, doors, windows, stairs etc and is easy to use. In addition to that, you don’t have to install anything and if you create an account (which is free) you can save and return to your houses.

Examples (all done by me):

Here’s an example for how you can use it

I’ve been playing @thearcanagame for the past few weeks and finally got around to making my apprentice. First outfit is for when he’s at the shop, second is for when he goes out.

I used this base here

Want to try this though I never stick to these things

Hi! I love fairies but I don’t draw them enough, so I created this little challenge to help me: Fairyary! 🦄

You’re most welcome if you want to join me on this challenge! Draw as much fairies as you can during February! Try to draw each day! Write if you prefer writing to drawing, whatever! The prompt is only here to help you if needed. ✨

Tag your works with #Fairyary so everyone doing the challenge can see them too! 💮

Shiro and Keith for multiple reasons but I'll stick to because I haven't drawn them together yet I'm never happy with Shiro which is why I never finish his sketches but heck, I'm semi okay with how he turned out this time

Mershark Lance...has this been done yet?

I dunno, I see a lot of mermaid Lance and thought 'but what if shark'

just a coloured sketch because I really didn't feel like outlining anything

Took a quick break to sketch up a AU I haven't touched in a little while. It'll probably be a while before I finish this...assuming I'lll finish this at all but I'm pretty happy with what I have so far.

Screencap redraw "Leave the numbers to Pidge."

I loved this whole scene because I'm a whore for Lance being reassured. Went with Keith though since his little smile and line was cute.

I'm not too happy with how Keith came out (I really hate how his face turned out mostly) but I like it overall. The background is mostly traced because I just really hate doing them (That’s not how you improve, don’t be like me)

Some concept art for Hunk and Lance for my AU I'm tentatively calling it the Tamed Au but not sure if it'll stick lol Actually wanted to stick everyone on one sheet but didn't want to torture myself with trying to draw both Hunk and Shiro at once. Also unsure about Keith. I still plan on him being half Galra as they have a part in this AU but unsure if he should be getting his fire abilities from being half dragon also or half fox spirit.

I can't draw weapons so ignore the glorified hairdryer.
