Diary Entry

Art plz

January 22, 2014 - 6:35pm — Worlds.Fool
Hello everyone, as you may or may not know I am still very new to this forum. The Endless Forest is a wonderful game and experience, so much so that it has drawn out the artist in me. Which says a lot considering that I don't draw very often.

That being said I am trying very hard to work with my tablet. Yes I have one, but I much prefer paper and pen rather than online drawing. However, with my deer anatomy lacking and wonderful pictures out there I can trace outlines of, I can't help but ask.

Could anyone give me tips for working with Paint Tool Sai? Many layers and practice is a given yes but I'm horible with recognicing layers and which to shade with. I always start with layer one being the vast outline, all together. Then I work on the pelt from lightest to darkest. Starter at Lightest (the white and pale colors of the fawns coat) to Whiter (The light tan to peach color of the pelt.) Darker (The chestnut and tan colors) to Darkest (the red and brown colors)

Then comes the shading and that where this get tricky, how do I start blending the colors? Do I make a new layer?

Any tips would be appreciated. Thank you, as you can see from one drawing i have I seriously need to work on my practice.

Despite it's youth, this young fawn can't wait to grow up. Already through the forest many of the older deer gallop and trot all sporting their majestic antlers.

Today young Atoli has something in mind, a little secret she's learned. Although she is a female deer, she swears upon getting her antlers. With a kick she rears her front body up and waves her young but powerful front legs in the air then, she charges.

...

Only to have her plan backfire as she rams head first into a small pine tree.

'Oww.' She shudders, picking herself up and shaking her head to clear away the stars. 'That could have gone better.' Still slightly dizzy she would not let this deter her. She backs away, skidding one of her front hooves on the ground and readies to charge again.

She will find a pine cone and she will get her antlers.

A young fawn twitches it's nose to the smell of flowers and fresh dew grass. What awaits in this world?

Vaq's Journal #2: Bibidi Cadabra Shazaam! (A study of magic)

January 16, 2014 - 12:27am — skittlezrawr
Since my last entry I've been examining other deer and how magic affect them. I've been looking for a style of my own for when I'm fully grown and I can safely say I've found the perfect look for myself. A Magpie mask, the Venetian Carnival antlers, and finally a Noh pelt. Though, once I've mastered the magic of The Endless Forest does not mean my tricks will cease. Oh, Gods no. Once I have mastered the magic on myself I will become a spirit of shenanigans, a totem of trickery, a paragon of pranks. Some deer may find me antagonistic, but I merely want to have fun and share my fun. As a side note, there is nothing funny about spell spamming, that's just mean. A simple one time pelt change is all you need for a good prank.

Today I pranked Unplugged. He seemed a little upset at first, but he found the humor in the situation. Luckily, my friend La was there too, so naturally she got pranked as well. Then a bunch of fauns showed up and played with us as well. I've met so many nice deer lately.

Brand spankin' new

So I'm new here. I downloaded and joined the game a few years back, but my computer was far too laggy to handle even a minute in the game so I ended up forgetting about it until it was mentioned again a couple days ago by someone.

I've had some fun exploring around the game, but I have no idea what goes on here. I'm poking around just to have a looksee at other people's characters.

My deer's name is Padieon. He's a sprightly little fawn. That's about as much as I've got on him but hopefully I can get more involved here and give him a good personality.

How does RP work here, anyhow, out of curiosity? I feel it's time to blow the dust off of my keyboard and take a whack at it again.

About 15 minutes new to this game...

I'm so lost, it seems like it would be easier to maneuver with a mouse? But I don't use one :I Any general advice from more experienced members?

Vaq's Journal #1: A New Fawn on the Lawn

January 14, 2014 - 8:36am — skittlezrawr
Who's got two hooves and loves his new home? This fawn. I love the forest. I just wanna play and jump around, maybe cause a little mischief. My magic's not too strong yet, so naturally I can't keep any of the horns and pelts these other deer have given me, but I've got some ideas of what I'd like to look like when I'm all grown up.

Today was quite fun. I found another fawn huddled under the shell of a tree, I tried to get them to come out and play with me. It took a bit of persuading but I finally got them to come out of their shell. We played in the flowers a bit then I lost 'em. I hope I can find them again soon. I also helped another deer get a mask. Myself and another long masked fellow cast all the magic we could until the victim of our spells was satisfied.

Overall, it was a good day.

Just a little blog rant thing

Not directed at anyone, obviously! Just, I need to put the pen to paper, so to speak.

Really, this is for me. Nobody else has to view this, nobody has to comment (though I won't PREVENT them, I'm just typing this for myself).

So one thing about myself that I really consider a bit...challenging...is the fact that I'm transgender. FtM, binding, short hair, all that jazz. Won't get too into that.

Anyways, there's one thing that, each month, really messes with me. Emotionally and mentally. One of the symptoms? Cramps. And I'll be the first to say: they are BAD. Seriously the worst things in the world. On a scale of 1-10 in pain, it'd be at least 7, if not more most of the time. But today? They were the WORST I've ever experienced. As if low self esteem, struggling with dysphoria, and shame wasn't enough. Now I have plenty of physical pain that practically makes me incapable of walking, let alone anything else.

Best part is? I know it'll get worse. That saying, you know, the one where they say "it gets worse before it gets better"? Yeah, it applies here. Tomorrow's going to be fun. Even more so because I have to DRIVE to the college, sit through a 1 hour 45 minute class that isn't purely lecture, but I have to PARTICIPATE, and then drive the 20 minute way back. Overall? I'll be an emotional wreck by morning, not that I'm not already-- the agony is so great I can barely move, and I burst into tears more than not.

Anyways. That probably helped me a little. Just a little, but every part counts, I suppose.

If it wasn't so late, I'd derp around as a deer. But I need rest (not that I'll be able to sleep ) because tomorrow is a full day of agony and emotional roller coasters.
