Apocalypsewriters - I Think I’m Lost

A little animation for Asexual Awareness Week.

It took me a long time to realise this was me.

Discovering that asexuality was a thing changed my life.

I am not alone.

And neither are you.

I love the hanging crystals, the light bounces off them really well

Just the lighting generally is fantastic

And the mini bottles in the foreground. With prices on little folded cards. The herbs behind Ambrose???? There are just so many little details. I could looks at it for hours

[ID: a digital drawing of the interior of a potion shop. A white elf with blue hair and navy, gold-embroidered robes stands at the counter in the middle of the drawing, looking right towards the window and door. The shelves are filled with cool-toned potions, while the stone walls are striped with warm colors. end ID]

The Griffin’s Claw Potions & Tinctures Shop

Hope you like it! It’s a decent representation of what the shop looks like in my head, down to the layout and the striped stone walls. I’m pretty proud of the window in particular. If I were better at texture, I’d be able to apply more of that to certain elements, like the floor, etc. But I didn’t want to muddy up the drawing too much, or botch it with bad texture, so for now, I left it as is.

Because I spent too long on this, I’m tagging the Rival Potion Shop taglist under the cut. (Since it overlaps with the Icefall taglist, I really try not to ping it too much.)

Hey it’s ace week and you’re local ace has something to say! I’ve been out as ace for 3 years now and it’s still a big part of my identity that I’m proud of so here’s a lil something for those who need it!

Congratulations!!!! That’s amazing. I can’t wait to hear more about it as you write the second draft

RPS Update: 1st Draft is Complete!

I did it! It took a little over a month, but Rival Potion Shops Draft 1, or “oops I accidentally did Nano a little earlier this year,” is done. It’s coming in at just under 66k, which is great- I’m an underwriter, so this gives me plenty of breathing room for draft 2. 

Excerpt from chapter 1, Sherry talking to Ambrose as they watch Eli set up shop:

“He’s the nephew of old Mr. Severia. Inherited the shop from him,” Sherry said proudly, now that it was her turn to parade about her observations. “I think he’s about your and Dawn’s age, too.” She squeezed Ambrose’s arm. “Wouldn’t it be nice to make a new friend?”

Ambrose grimaced. “No.”

Next Steps:

I’ll be waiting on re-reading for two weeks. In the meantime, expect some artwork!

I don’t think I’ll do alpha readers. I’ve got a list of notes going already, and I think it will be more beneficial for me to get through a draft 2, then do proper beta readers.

If you are interested in beta reading (likely in the new year, so I’m not asking anyone to read during the holidays), please let me know and I can tag you when I do make an official beta reader call post. No pressure, of course!

Send help, I have to think of a real title.

Thanks for sticking with me through all my draft 1 posts! More stuff to come soon!
