>.> That would be quite useful. <3

It's useful, but it makes him feel confused and he gets these magic hangovers from time to time.

Awh poor Rip!

Is this from a role play or a book? In any case the artwork is very good.

A book? Oh, I wish, but I wouldn't know how to write one... These are just parts of this RPG thing that has been going on for a decade or so. =)

*laughs and gives the cat a huggle... all great books have a beginning, and an author. When things are right there will be a book... if it is only written for the author alone. (though I hope that is not the case)

The best way to start is to just write down what you can remember and get it on paper. You already seem to have most of the story laid out, so it makes things a bit easier for you. Even if what you write today sounds incoherent, you can always edit tomorrow.

I roleplay these things on a daily basis. The stories are all in my head (many many stories), but I don't know how to put them on paper. During the last ten years my fantasy world has expanded so much... I wouldn't even know from what character's viewpoint I should begin to describe it all.

I do write little stories to amuse my best friend, but to create something bigger - like a book! - is very difficult. =)

The best way to start is to either outline or write a script, just so you have what happened or who said what written down. Once you have that bare skeleton down, it's then a matter of adding details. If this roleplaying is done online, then most of this work might be done already if you can find the logs.

As for which character's viewpoint to write from, that is quite a task to decide. A 3rd-person perspective would be the best to start with, letting the reader see all of the principle characters' actions and thoughts.

If nothing else, just get an outline down on paper, even if it's nothing more than "this happens, then that happens, and there was much rejoicing by all". At the very least it will help organize your thoughts and the plot.

If you do decide to write this down, then I wish you the best of luck! These characters sound like they have some fascinating tales to tell!

Coo Coo! That's a pretty spiffy trick to do.

Coo coo! It's certainly one his favourite tricks. ^^

The last couple of pictures have been very nice, especially the detailed one you did for LeChevalier with the wagging tail and empty speech balloon. I always wondered what would happen if Ripkin could change into a human form.... a very interesting and well done answer you have provided I dare say. His wrist bands must be under the shirt I take it?

I've pondered about the wrist band thing. They ought to be visible, but so far I've only added them when I've drawn Rip in his more real human form. These guys are just cheap illusions, I've figured, so maybe the wristbands don't show through.

This is the "real" human him. It's pretty old by now...

Uh, sorry, I started babbling. I was just very flattered by your interest. ^^;;

Don't worry about babbling too much, as you know I'm a bit of a detail freak. I'm always interested to see what happens to things when a character changes or is redone in a newer form.

The linked picture is pretty neat by the way and I could see Rip taking that form if he were out to impress someone he is interested in. Kyel has the same capability to take human form to interact with human society. There are native American legends about how coyotes can take on attractive human forms to ease interaction with humans.

thats cool grat work

It's certainly one of his best. ^^

O_O!
That is SO freaking cool!
("Cinderella" powers?)
So that's his hobby?
Fascinating!

Ooh, thanks! I'm very flattered to hear that you like this.

I jokingly call these kind of spells "Cinderella magic", because they can turn ugly things pretty but eventually the illusion always disappears. =)

Ah...
I like it.
You name well. ^__^

um... gloryfying? is that a word? it plopped up my head. well done

(x.x such a bad headache... no drinks involved)

Gloryfying? I dunno, but it works for me. Thank you! =D

*gives you some aspirin and a hug*

Oooh wow thats a very interesting, and very scary power to have, so many possibilitiessss

Aye, the possibilities are limitless. Too bad that his personal time isn't.

Thank you very much for the comment, btw! ^^

*snicker* no problem*behind again*

And sometimes his mind works like a bulldog in heat.

But mostly I'm just shocked to see Ripkin looking not evil in the right bubble.

Haha, indeed! xD

And hey, he's just acting. Don't let it fool you. =)

That ol' rascal! ^^

Hi,ripkin;very useful magic. ^_^

coo coo beautifull coo coo ÅoÅ

Coo coo coo! 8D <3

4:30 o clock then *coo* we'll make that 5:00 Å_Å

awesome concept =)

Glad you like! ^^

humans are tasteh! XD
>_>i dont like humans, they are hard to draw

I like humans... and elves and dwarves and you-name-its. Drawing them is difficult, but I try to do that anyway. =)

Magic for disguise and to reach what we want in the puny human world. Really like the way how he is acting.

He's a master of disguises. Too bad he can only wear one at a time. =)

Same if we take the braces off?

Probably not a good idea to remove them. He might even die, who knows. And then all his enemies would have a great opportunity throw a big party. =D

i think its absalootly GRATE!;)

Thanks! ^^

Woooo looks a very nice designeee ^_^

Thanks! This is what I mostly draw, humans and stuff. ^^

wow nice work on the clothes ! And on the characts' expressions !

Thanks! I like simple fantasy style outfits a lot. ^^

Doesn't shock me, you draw them SO well... :) :)

You flatter me! ^_^

...And I always draw the legs too short. -_-

That's not true, apart if yu base your pics on manga artists who draw legs two times the size of the body. the ones you draw look perfectly proportionned to me.

I like reading the little blurbs and hints of Ripkin's background and abilities. And I wouldn't worry about posting humans... lots of people do, and nobody has to look at it if they don't like humans. :P

The outfits are nice, though I like the guy's clothing better, especially those boots. They're cool. :3

Thanks for the encouragement! I do like drawing anthros 'cause somehow their anatomy feels easier to draw. The human eye is so accustomed to seeing human shapes it easily notices any kind of abnormalities - even without any artistic training. It's a challenge to draw humans and I'm too stubborn to admit that I might be better off drawing something else. ^_^;;

Haha, yeah, I know I can't draw humans very well. Even though my anthros look pretty human, it's the faces and heads I have trouble with whenever I try, and they just look pathetic, so I stick with anthros.

I really should draw more dragons, though.

now that lil black white haired buddy is really amazing when it comes to skills x3! great expressions :3

He is pretty magical, but he's got a terrible personality. I still love drawing him. x)

wow.. your art never ceases to amaze me.. hee I love his lil human male form.. scrumptious <3

Aw, thank you! It's not really his official human form or anything... more like a random face that was fitting for a certain role. Same goes for the girl. =)

hee, well none the less I love how you draw humans, well I like how you draw everything but ya know what I mean :D

Interesting, so he can take any form he wants?

Nice drawing as always my friend!!!

There are some limitations, but he's pretty good at turning himself into different kinds of humans. But it's just an illusion and it's possible to see through it as well... So he has to be careful. =)

He's too good at that sort of thing, it's creepy XD

Rip is my little "Gary Stu" character... The kind who is too good at many things. ^_^;;

But I like to think that he has many flaws too, so he's not perfect.

So Ripkin also has a developing multiple-personality disorder? Fun times ahead, it seems.

If it wasn't for fact that Rip's a few bats short of a belfry, it seems like he's already well-posed to take over a small country with his tricks. This adds quite a bit of complexity, as we not only have Rip, but all of his personas. I wonder if any of his guises has started to become more dominant than his true personality? As if he wasn't messed up enough...

Ripkin has got too much power in contrast to his limited personal resources. So yeah, he's pretty messed up. Sometimes he gets lost in a spesific role for so long he almost forgets who he really is. When he gets depressed he lets these personalities take over.

He wouldn't be able to run things very smoothly were it not for his competent sister and other affliates who are much more sane than he is. Ripkin is a political genius, but it takes many people to support his schemes and give direction to his creativity.

Ah, I'm sorry... I always start to babble about these things. I'm very happy that you took the time to comment! As you can see, my selfish desire to talk about my characters is pretty obvious. ^^;;

If you want to see a selfish desire to talk about one's characters then you should ask me about mine! ;p

Don't worry about babbling, Ripkin seems to be quite a well-developed character with a colorful history and I love hearing about such characters.

I love how you managed to reflect Ripkin so well in his masks. He'd have to be a pretty good actor to convincingly protray so many characters.

And what happens when they need to be in the room at the same time? The height thing could be kind of interesting. I'd presume that the illusions are fairly solid?

I like to think that Ripkin is a good actor, kinda like the devil or the scandinavian god Loki. I'm not saying he has godlike qualities, but he has always been the main trickster in my stories.

The illusion indeed is very solid. He tries to keep his roles separated so that in no circumstance he would have to play the housemaid and the master of the house at the same time... He was caught once, so he decided to play it safe from that on.

Squee, I always shamefully excited when I get the chance to chatter about my characters. *_*
