Welcome to My (Flat) World

[Ruby]

Well, that's what I thought too...I've been waiting for Ruby because I tend to hitch a ride on her shoulder.

Where are we going, though? Although I haven't posted anything for Fenella, I have been reading your posts and wondering what's happening. LS mentioned something about Fenella going shopping for a new dress. Should we be doing this? Do I have to roll a dice?

 

[Ruby]

I ended up going with a sleeveless qipao for Diana. The high neck was close, and I added a sash just so the rose trim would have a place to go that worked with the style.

These will be smaller in-game, so the weapon outline will (hopefully) not look so odd. I can't draw straight lines on a tablet, or even lines that pass for straight.

Also, I'm adding two missing straps (by the heel/ankle) to the sandals, which is what Julianne Moore wore with her valkyrie costume in The Big Lebowski.

Hi Legendary Sidekick. Does Fenella get a new dress, too? Does she have to visit Esmeralda to buy it/ for a fitting etc? Fenella asked for something inexpensive as she's a princess with a gold loving father; they hate spending their own money! ( They usually get the taxpayers to pay for everything. This is loosely based on what I've observed in the real world ha, ha!)

Ps Nice drawings. You could, perhaps, start a new thread called Fantasy Fashion, or set a Challenge to design an outfit for a pixie, a dwarf a Hobbit etc? Just a thought!

 

[Ruby]

I assumed everyone (player characters, that is) except Diana and Jei (and Addy) went to see Esmeralda, but that's just me. No one else has really been playing for a while.

Hi Ireth. Sorry, I've been reading all your posts. Is Fenella supposed to be going shopping?

 

[Legendary Sidekick]

I'll get the group together soon enough. Oh... and I still need to write Bee's reaction to Diana. I'll post that later if I can't in the next few minutes.

PM sent.

To answer Ireth's question, changing hair isn't hard to do. The way I'm drawing most characters, I could erase the hair or even the whole head without messing up the rest of the body. I'm using a limited color pallet so I won't use a slightly different skin tone when I redraw hair or add shading from clothing.

Changing weapons takes a little more work. So if you switch weapons in battle, forgive the art not necessarily reflecting that. I'll add stances as needed.




Fenella's already been charged $699 for the custom dress. Mariya will be charged considerably less (under $100), since the material cost is cheap for a pixie.

 

[Noma Galway]

I'll send you a PM about the dress after I think about it for a bit. Maybe this afternoon.

I might be a bit late in pointing this out, but I'm assuming Vincent's roll to find a four-leaf clover wasn't successful? Or did LS just miss it?

 

[Legendary Sidekick]

You said "just for fun" so I didn't address it. I won't kill the fun, though. You can say he needed help from Esmerelda or her granddaughter (Sage) to find one. I wouldn't think of an 11 as successful for finding a rare item, since it means just barely succeeding a challenge with 50% odds.

If I thought of it, I'd have gone with 17. A good St. Patty's Day number?


Speaking of luck/just for fun, the St. Patty's pot of gold is at the end of the rainbow. Roses are red. That's the beginning of the rainbow. Each of the six colors wins 10% of the pot. The seventh drawing is the whole pot. NPCs may end up taking from the pot, so when they grumble, they reveal a number that no player picked. If no player or NPC wins by draw #7, the whole 100% is still in the pot. 100% of what? Someone has to win 10% to find out!

(For draw #2, only 19 will result in an NPC taking from the pot.)

Every day, I'll draw once. Thanks to all for PM'ing numbers to me so I could start today.

Fair enough. ^^ They say you have to find four-leaf clovers by chance, anyway. If you find one when you're actively looking for it, it won't be lucky.

About to watch Frozen with my girls, but just wanted to show our plain-faced child goddess, now armed.

 

[Noma Galway]

Woo Frozen! And woo Beatrice!

We're about to watch Frozen also

 

[JRFLynn]

Tell me how it is, I might go see it

 

[Legendary Sidekick]

I enjoyed it for the second time. We saw it in theaters. At home, my girls can sing Let It Go without bothering anyone. Even Hannah (18 mo.) was singing the words, "Let it go."

 

[Noma Galway]

This was my first time, but I had already heard "Let it Go" numerous times. It was great. I was seeing a lot of parallels to gifted education, which made me really happy. Also Olaf makes snow puns. Happy.

Even Hannah (18 mo.) was singing the words, "Let it go."

And THAT is adorable

 

[Legendary Sidekick]

Speaking of adorable, my oldest has a costume that passes for an Elsa costume. It's from Halloween, and we didn't know about Frozen when we bought the costumes. We just wanted warm dresses that wouldn't fall apart.

Thanks for keeping the RP going, by the way. Even when I don't do a major art update, I hope to get a week or two of RP between battles or between episodes. I'm purposely updating NPCs and players at the same time to force myself to have battle-ready NPCs. (I mean good guys. Monsters can be drawn up hastily if need be.) Reaver, Fenella and Mariya will have new costumes with the new art. I'll add a helm for Jei, and Riff will have a spring, summer, autumn theme depending on her size. I'll use her existing giant art if she super-sizes sooner than expected. I'm going into this battle assuming she won't want to be super big.

Wait. Battle? Did I say battle? No, no... no more battles. It's Maiden's Day, there's a god and two goddesses in town. The barn burned so, really, there's nothing to worry about. Surely, you won't be thrust into a situation where you're forced to protect a bunch of innocent people from some horrible force of evil.

 

[JRFLynn]

You're daughters are so cute LS, and how could anything bad happen on Maiden's Day? ;p

 

[Reaver]

About to watch Frozen...

Wait...Is that the Pixar movie made by Disney? You know..because don't they own Pixar? What's that all about?

Not going to watch it because I learned everything I need to know from watching the Honest Trailer.

 

[Legendary Sidekick]

^Spoiler warning…

Also, I LOVED the honest trailer for Robocop!

 

[Legendary Sidekick]

Lara's finished, and can finally join in the celebration.

 

[Noma Galway]

The dresses are great!
