"You are dripping on my lovely new floor," said Rafal. Rhian blinked at the black stone tiles, grimy and thick with soot.

What's Ur Routine Like?

What's ur routine like?

I'm not sure what sort of routine you're referring to, but I would guess you mean a "daily routine?"

In most cases, I do certain things in the same sequence, depending on whether it occurs during the academic year or during a vacation, as in, I almost always read while I eat breakfast, or whenever I have the chance, I tend to shower before I work, read, write, etc. Then, dinner comes after, at a late hour, around eleven at the latest, possibly? Though, aside from classes or appointments, my days aren't the most rigidly blocked out, and there are sometimes disruptions to my plans. I just have approximate times in mind at best, or I order activities into sequences that make up the larger, overarching routine since I tend to think in sequences rather than hour-by-hour or in any numerical terms.

@iamverynormalaboutsge Oooh, I love how it's his own name on the grave! That's very clever and symbolic, as if his old self/soul died in the act of fratricide.

Your artstyle reminds me a bit of tim burton—not sure how, but I think it's because of the Corspe Bride movie.

Now I also wonder how. I've never watched that film, so my style inspiration comes from other artists. Though, I looked up Tim Burton's style, and I would guess what you're getting at could be the similar facial proportions I've been giving Rafal or the sharpness and the cold dead look? I'm just speculating though. (You don't have to respond if you don't want to, Anon.)

Here are some of my sketches (and attempts at drawing Rafal from other angles) from continually trying to clarify/improve his design, which is mostly just based on simplifying/imitating the duology covers—I haven't taken his design that far in truth. And I hadn't been sure if I'd had that consistent of a style yet, so thanks.

I scribble him on stray notepads a lot:

The center sketch of the above digital ones is probably vaguely the closest to how I want him to pose for an certain idea I have, for a potential painting that may involve a lot of swarming, greenish moths, a letter opener in his grip, and a wounded eye. Not sure yet if anything will become of that mental image.

Fahrenheit 451 AU:

Rhian is a futuristic "fireman," who unknowingly contributes to the world’s totalitarian censorship. Yet, the public has stopped reading (and believing in knowledge and the written word) of its own accord, and his job is becoming obsolete with the changing times.

Rafal on the other hand is a reader, who convinces Rhian to break the rules and read something, anything, before he burns it all away.

Rhian reads a mere a chapter of a tale, is blown away, and changes forever, his eyes opened to storytelling, and he decides to join forces with Rafal, the outlaw brother he’s never quite understood before, and they go on, preserving the tales and their lessons, each rebel on their side responsible for memorizing one volume.

When’s your birthday?

Sorry. Not telling the internet that. I will say it's in May.

I swear Rafal is the most versatile character. He can be the savior, victim, autocrat, and prisoner through it all and I wouldn't bat an eye as long as he's characterized accurately.
