Description
So, as promised, after several hours of work, a colored in Regency walkThese two are main characters to yet another concept I am tossing around. It'd be a retelling of Beauty and the Beast, except for a change of pace the girl would be the Beast (hence the badly done scars; she would have more but I'm not overly fantastic at drawing sooo this is what we get). However, the Beauty isn't all he's cracked up to be either.
Paul Macleod lives in Regency England and belongs to a family of arisocrats. This gives him the aristocratic attitude, and as a second son he refuses to accept responsibility for anything.
Helen is a cursed young woman who ended up like this because of her father's mistake and her own childish vanity. Living in a country mansion of the time, she and her staff are cursed to dwell there and deal with the whims of the sorceress who first cursed her.
Paul could mean her freedom; however, since they both have their baggage, that should be harder than it looks
Oh, and 2 things: Yes, I'm bad at furniture and hands. I'm still frustrated with my hand-drawing but aw well. And furniture...first time I've really had to draw it and it mattered less to me than the people soooo boring colors it is!

Aw thanks Yeah, the writing will be a lot better than the drawing since that's more my forte.
Thank you very much!

I've actually only written a few pages so far heh heh kinda to test out how I want to present the story. So far it's only in Paul's point of view.
If you'd like to see some then I'll get on it hahah I do have some other work that's more finished that I've considered putting up as a teaser

Ok cool I'll definitely start working on it when I'm done with my current project.
Well, I've written a sci-fi, which I'm currently editing. I usually write fantasy and stuff more along the lines of the story the picture is from, but this one needed more of a sci-fi feel.
It's about a girl who's a government experiment, becoming a super soldier and her personal battle to live her life her own way.
It was definitely different than what I usually write and it was hard--I couldn't use the explanation of magic

Yay and happiness!
That's cool. I'm a fan of fantasy but sci-fi is cool, too. That sounds cool. Yeah, no easy-out magic explaination. You actually have to know science and stuff. Or bs it so it seems logical. ^_^;;; Always makes me happy when people are being creative.

Hello If you're still interested, I've posted the first chapter of my sci-fi novel. I finally finished editing and thought I'd put a little up.

Awesome I've been editing the crap out of it this past week so I'll have to put some chapters up. It'll be good to see if the first couple chapters are actually enticing enough for readers
No kidding I mostly BS it--unfortunately one my friends who's reading it for me is going to be a Bio major and she keeps me honest...at least as much as she can. I care more about the personalities and whatnot.

This is a cute idea- I would love to see more!
The expressions are pretty well done- I also like her dress.

Why thank you If there's demand then I must produce
Thanks--I'm not very good so expressions are hard, especially when small. Yeah the dress was wonderfully simple!
Thanks again!
