Woo, I use the term wordsmith too, Aeri! XD And I am a better wordsmith than artist.
I've always drawn, but never with the same skill and passion as I had with words. I would try, and then my friends would kinda help add a little more life to my art. It still amuses me that I have some OCs that I can't draw, and yet other people draw them perfectly fine. X3 Here're two examples:
[My Damain] [Damian and his love interest, Tea (skirt), as drawn by Todacharm][My Rion] [Rion as drawn by Tinuu]Aeri, wow, I just realized I should've known you were a fan of Celtic mythology by the "ae" combination in your name. XD That isn't a dead giveaway, but I've always seen the connection in it. One of my SNs (Aeronides) has the "ae" combination too. Oh, Mikael too, I guess. owo And my female persona, Kaera.
Btw, what sort of young adult fiction to you like? YA happens to be one of my favorite genres. X3
*dances around Aeri* I love details too! My RP posts tend to be a little lengthy... or is so considered by some. XD; I love love to put lots of thought and detail into my characters and world-building. Ocean is the same, and the details of her art is like whoa. XD
Sadly, I'm bad when it comes to drawing out the details; I can never quite get what I see in my head.
