Hmm... it seems like my ideas are going to be better suited to the off-topic writing competition... Also hey mintedstar/fur🦇, are there different categories for prizes? Or just straight up first/second/third?

This looks really cool! I’ll have to try and come up with something if I have the chance.

OK folks here it is, my Halloween story. A NON New Blood tale taken from one of my books. It is the only horror tale I have ever penned. I think "lifeline " prompt loosely fits. Anyway here goes. Enjoy.

mintedstar/fur🦇 - Hey! For the first prompt, can the "story you have heard before" be from a book or TV show? Say...Paradise Lost by John Milton? Or Hellboy the movie? xD

Hey Dingo!! :'D I'm doing alright! Had an anxiety attack today so I'm taking it easy. How about you? My sister is doing better! She still seems to be having discomfort. Not quite sure what's going on with that. But she's smiling again which is great! ALSO GREAT TIMING (I was wondering if you wanted to do an...art swap o.o)

Sorry to hear that, Shadow. I’m glad you’re taking it easy! Hopefully tomorrow will be better! And I’m really glad your sister is smiling again!
I woke up sick, which sucks, but I’m alright! Preparing for my final exam period at uni - two more weeks until the semester is over!
I WOULD LOVE TO DO AN ART SWAP!

Thanks, Dingo. <3 <3 Ooof. I hope it doesn't hinder your studying!! Take care of yourself, you're almost there! GOOD BECAUSE I WANTED SOME PRACTICE. I was wondering if we could do art for each other's spooky stories? o.o' Pssst, mintedstar/fur🦇 if you want in on this I'm down with that too. I'm almost 100% certain I'm writing two stories at this point.

I’m taking it easy this morning, so hopefully I’ll be feeling well enough to do some good work this afternoon!
YES! That sounds great, Shadow!
Now I just need to sort out my ideas. I think my first idea was too... literally anything but scary XD

Awesome!
Want to start a private message? because I already got both of my ideas pretty locked down! Tell me about it!! Nothing wrong with getting advice from each other xD

First entry is up for those who want to read! Also, I've changed the name for clarity's sake. The contest for the WFF (cat stories) is called the Halloween Den and the contest for the OTW (any other stories) is Halloween Town.

Did you want to do an art swap too, phantomstar57 ?? Honestly we can just spread this around if we want to. xD I figure lucifer and devils and murder are halloween-ish and scary, Mint! :'D Lol, well you don't have to write a spooky story unless you want to! I just need some practice on my end. I want to try applying my painting skills to my digital art if that makes sense.

And yep, that makes sense, Shadow! What program/app are you using?

I'm sticking with paint.net since I'm familiar with it! I just need something to use as a stylus, because it's easier to draw with it than a mouse xD

Post by Dingoleap on Oct 7, 2019 23:02:19 GMT -5
Ah, well, I don’t have any experience with paint.net, but I’ll help if I can! My advice to you is to experiment with textured brushes! They can give you some awesome painted techniques! As for a stylus, if you’re considering getting into digital art as a serious hobby, you might want to look at getting a tablet. I’m working on an iPad at the moment, but when I was drawing on my laptop I used a Wacom Intuos tablet, which I really enjoyed. I got some nice smooth lines. A tablet always takes a bit of getting used to, since they don’t have screens unless you fork out the big bucks.

I agree with Dingo! I use Wacom Intuos tablet as well, and it's pretty nifty, smooth, and comfortable (at least to me). (Currently I can confirm that the story I'm basing off my story on is a movie and also has some folklore of Korea. I think I can make it fit the Warriors world.)

The Wacom Intuous is super portable, as well!

My story is cat based so maybe not for the OT version tho it is not Warrior based. so if it does not belong in the OT contest please let me know or just DQ it.

I still do most of my characters free hand on paper and scan it in then build a backdrop for them. I have a Surface Pro that has a Paint program but I haven't mastered it.

Paint.net is what I've used for all my banner making, map making and general graphics! (': And thanks for the advice you guys! I am not too sure yet about making it a serious hobby. I've just never really tried even though I love sketching and painting every so often.
I got a story I'm working on with cats Phantom!! What I can do is read your story, draw something up, and then once I post my story you can do the same and we can swap that way??

Please do add me! That would be great! And I use Firealpac and a mouse, ha ha. Apparently I am one of the few mouse-drawers in existence. Otherwise I use various forms of traditional art.

I’ve done some drawing with a trackpad before, although admittedly I did all the drawing traditionally, then scanned it and coloured it digitally XD
I’ve added you to the chat, Mint!
