I saw myself [ [ Nebel ] ]

Rp exercise today. I haven't done this since...neopets like 8 or 9 years ago. While I can still write I'm afraid I lost a feel for rp etiquette. Nebel, my fawn, is as green as I am. I'm hesitant to make a bio, in case that gives her "story" away before she can develop as a character.
I took some screenshots of today's 'progress'.

She thought she saw a blue fog in the Ruin. In the past she avoided the area not out of fear, but out of a strange reverence. It isn't likely she knows the significance of the place yet, but something in the stagnant air warned her away from the stones, which remind her of the worn, blackened teeth of her elders who walk the Ruin daily - it doesn't feel like a place she should be.


Naturally her patience ran out after 5 minutes and the fawn left the cemetery. Stepping into the sunlight made her blood flow again. She felt like running. Immediately forgetting the old stones like teeth, she wove around the adults, roaring and rolling as she went and ignoring the protests of the napping deer.
One deer, however, did not budge despite her efforts to wake forest. She stomped her hoof and bristled with growing excitement before her eyes came to rest on the sigil glowing atop the sleeping deer's crown.


A trick of the Forest? The frightened fawn stepped back as the motionless sleeping deer faded into nothing.
This was not so easily to shake as the Ruins, but the fawn did her best keep her nerves. She sought sunlight, warmth, birdsong, and green fields and above all, company of the other fawns.

Art you will probably like

http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/artists/erick_swenson.htm

Erick Swenson’s installations create scenes of haunting perfection. Inspired by museum exhibits, set design, film special effects, and model making, Swenson crafts every minute detail of his tableaux, creating simulated, highly romantic scenes of that often exceed the ideals of nature. Spanning more than 7 meters, Swenson’s Untitled is a sub-zero oasis of mythical blizzard. Styrofoam snow and polyurethane ice engulf expertly moulded cobblestones, fabricating a spectacle of wintery Bavariana fairytale. Within the gathering drifts, a fallen deer strains against death in a sublime allegorical moment.


at least I really do. Just as a warning, I will probably post more art here that seems appropriate to TEF in the future. You dont need to respond. I just like sharing <3

Roadtrip (Any Art Requests?)

For a day or two. Going back to the homeland for a job interview for a couple days. I'm really attached to The Endless Forest already after being here for only a week :[ Just running around and talking to everyone (sometimes without words!) has been surprisingly therapeutic - I'm a little stress bucket. So I'm going to try to stay on the forums on my dinky netbook while I travel.
Bus ride is about 4 hours...does anyone want their character drawn?

They will probably look something like this: http://endlessforest.org/community/paperfang-81711

Music of the Forest [ What do you listen to? ]

What do you listen to while playing The Endless Forest?

I love the soundtrack provided - it's never stagnant, but when I do feel like listening to music I'll usually listen to Le Loup

Where is Nohl?

I'm actually new to painting - digitally and traditionally. The Endless Forest is a wonderful source for inspiration. The link below will take you to a WIP of Nohl...but you'll notice there's no background. Where in the Endless Forest should he be? Please provide a screenshot if you have a particular view in mind Smiling

Meet Nohl (Free Art Opportunity)

I stumbled upon my login info for an account I made about three years ago. So of course I set my fawn aside (who will remain unnamed for the time being) and tried messing with my old avatar, who I will be exploring with over the course of the month. I would like to achieve this look (below). I am almost there, I'm just missing the pelt. If someone could help me get the pelt I will gladly repay them with a drawing of their character. I'm a pretty decent artist and this would be a good opportunity for me to practice. Examples of my work can be seen here > http://tarahelfer.tumblr.com

You help me, I help you.

A good roar is important

Is there a way/place where I can hear all the different roars according to their masks?

I'd like to test some in order to develop a character. Thanks!

Hope Rests (Hello World!)

Day 1:
I am a fawn.
Met three friends today, one was a big rabbit.
We ran around and changed the other deers pelts while they were sleeping, but they didn't seem to mind.
I hope I see my friends again, but I'm afraid the next time I return I wont recognize them. I plan to spend time away to familiarize myself with the forest and the others in the community.
Tired now.
