Thanks~ Basically Aureus is an inventor, and his most important invention/discovery has been stolen, along with his memory of it, and he's in the process of trying to get it back from the Thief, who has set up a tournament of people he's taken things from. It all fits within the overarching plot of #Lost-and-Found-OCT

Thanks! 8D I love combining the illustrations with text, so I'm glad to hear that~
It's for , an original character tournament with a pretty interesting premise. The story really starts at the audition, but I think the writing in these later bits is sometimes better.
Thanks for the awesome comment

You're welcome! Illustration can really enhance the text, but most people can do one or the other, never both.

Sounds interesting, though I've never really understood the appeal of OC tournaments like that. I create characters around plots, rather than shape the plot around a character.

You're welcome. Writing is what I do best, so if you want some critical feedback I'd be happy to help.

I'm glad you think so; I've always loved writing but sometimes find writing stories difficult, and I'm always afraid of being a bit deficient in that compared to art. I'm trying to get more practice in for it and this OCT is the perfect project~

Ah interesting. I have a few characters who have sprung up out of plots, but mostly I seem to take the opposite approach and focus on character most of all. Characters are my favorite thing about writing. = )

Awesome, thank you! My writing confidence isn't the best but I'm always glad to improve~ I'll have to read some of your stuff too. ^^

Yeah, it does take a while to find your own style when writing, and incredibly frustrating too. Still, practice is the way you do it, so you're on the right track.

It's a strange distinction, but something you have to pay attention to when writer longer stories. It isn't as concrete as I said, but you've just got to think how the character is going to develop over the course of the story, because of the events they go through. Still, character driven stories are great, and I prefer writing them to plot-driven stories, because with them you fall into the trap of dealing with archetypes to satisfy the plot. XD

You're welcome. Writing is a bit of a school of hard knocks; the only way to improve is to practice and pay attention to feedback. I personally find that criticism is more worthwhile than praise on it's own, as it gives you information which you can then use to improve. Still, it is a bit of a jarring experience (believe me, I know!) but you get used to it. I'll probably give some meaningful feedback for you when I term ends. At the moment I'm dealing with and essay, course reading and staring into space, knowing I get to go home on saturday.

Haha that's alright, I do the same thing. xD
Indeed, I have to agree with that one, lol.
Thank you~

Thanks I had to search the house for a suitable lamp reference, haha. But I found out lightbulbs are fun to draw.

Thanks~ Ah glad to hear that did come across. I was kind of thinking it as I was writing, but I wasn't sure if it was just me. At least the hotel isn't as high-tech a place as it could be, I suppose.

Thanks! Yeah, he's originally from the late 1800s (probably the 1890s) and has been brought to a present day setting. The details of how and whatnot are in my audition, but that's the basic thing~

I actually laughed about the possibility of that at least a few times during the drawing process. xD
But I think he's less crazy than he was at the beginning... I think.

Haha! Hadn't thought of that, but I see what you mean. Shiny objects just have such great appeal.
