Adoptables, Writing an Artist's DescriptionA Good DescriptionAdoptables, Writing an Artist's Description1 year ago in Projects More Like This
Concerning adoption, a good description is always needed. It informs the purchaser about everything they need to know about the character and the adoption itself.
Basics of a Good Description:Use proper grammar
A lot of deviants are *not* native english speakers and all the english they know is what they have been taught in school so try to use proper grammar. Talking and writing are not the same thing, 'your' and 'you're' do not mean the same thing and should *not* be written in the same way. Some mistakes or 'typos' can always happen, but as long as most of your writing is correct, the odd mistake is forgivable.
Unless you're a writer working on a stream of consciousness, periods and commas are not optional. (And remember that the first letter after a period is always capitalized)
Writing every sentence after the other without leaving spaces ever so often is
Artist WalkthroughThis walkthrough focuses on:Artist Walkthrough9 months ago in Personal More Like This
- guiding you as an artist and improving your artistic skills
So having said that... let's get started!
I have been drawing for a long time. Since I was little I would draw all the time on anything I could find. That passion for drawing and art has always stayed with me. But the problem is talent or potential will only get you so far. If you really want to become a great artist you will have to put in many hours of work. And you would preferably have someone there to guide you. Even now I am learning about basic skills I wish I had learned years ago. That is the problem of being self taught... you have to figure everything out yourself. Of course there are benefits to that too. Self taught artists are generally very motivated and passionate people. I have only come to the point where I am now just because I am passionate and slightly obsessed with drawing. But I want to know more, learn more and improve more. So that is why I am setting up this little drawi

How to Plot Like a GrimIn ten simple steps, you too can plot like a Grim.How to Plot Like a Grim1 week ago in Literature More Like This
1. Get an idea
This can be a brief snippet of dialogue. Or an ending that just seems perfect. Sometimes it's just the concept of what I'd like to see a character go through. I write that down. Usually it doesn't see the cold light of day for at least a couple months, but when I've thought about it long enough and can't seem to get the idea out of my head, that's when I sit down and start plotting things out a bit.
2. Work out the basic plot
Now that I've got the idea, I need to work out the basic details. But how do I do that? Well, I write it down. Then I think about the different angles to get to that idea. I write those down. If it's dialogue, who's talking? What do they feel? Who are they talking to? If it's a snippet of a scene, who's in the scene? Why are they there? What are they doing? What's going on outside of that scene?

Welcome to United Quality Nordanner Breeders!First off, I would like to personally welcome you to United Quality Nordanner Breeders! I apologize that nothing is really up and going...yet...but I assure you that I am working on this right nowWelcome to United Quality Nordanner Breeders!3 months ago in Personal More Like This
Now, what is UQNB all about?
Well, here at UQNB, we strive for Excellence. We want to take as many STARTER Nordanners and help them to reach Excellent and Supreme Blood status with the goal of owning a 400+ kaaring horse. Though this is already a goal of the #Nordanner group, here we want this to be the ULTIMATE goal!
You see, a big problem I have noticed with the Nordanners is that people are breeding with no reguards to lineage OR show quality. All they are breeding for is collector horses, horses of unique and rare colors, horses that are just pretty to look at, then they want to charge you 15+ kaaring for a breeding with that horse without putting hardly ANY effort into that horse. It makes me SICK! So here, we are trying to change this!

ChallengeThinking I may try to put together a little challenge sort of deal thingy. This is an idea intended to bring in some Kaaring points (or status points for any horse, not just Nordanners) with some various ideas of themes for finished pieces of art.Challenge4 months ago in Personal More Like This
So..
Goal: 15 points Kaaring, for 1 horse (thats 1 full star) broken down into various parts. Sketches, and perhaps a few finished pieces, by spacing out and timing myself. Also working in various themes and challenges, such as perspective, lighting, tack, handlers, etc. A MINIMUM of 1 finished piece of art at the end.
So.. for now, I'm looking for ideas for poses and themes. First horse planned for this is Golden Fate.
Day One:
Brainstorming themes. Sketchdump.
Themes:
Training: Haute Ecole.
Training: Lunging
Training: Dragon Tack
Training: Potion(s)
Training: Other
Training: Joust

Western Isles - Breeding Season *Closed*Current Breeding Season:Western Isles - Breeding Season *Closed*4 months ago in Personal More Like This
Closed
In the chilly months of autumn and winter, things get a little heated in the fawnling herds. Its rut, the breeding season, where stags may fight to win glory and mates, and does swoon about and watch on from the sidelines. Or maybe the does are the ones fighting over their favorite stag. Who knows! All we know is that during rut, tempers are short and emotions are running high.
What you need to know
- The breeding season runs from the beginning of autumn thru to the end of winter. 8D
- The gestation period (pregnancy) lasts for in game 2 seasons, or 2 real life months.
- All breedings must be made official through role play (see below).
- Fawns are born exactly 2 real life months after the official role play mentioning the breeding has been posted.
- If a stag is 5 or more hands taller than the doe, the doe and fawn run the risk o

I won't be trading for an "after Excellent" slot if the horse is below 150+ in kaaring, but otherwise let's shoot.
I could offer art (for example animated training), designs (horses or tacks), some points (not insane amounts) or trade to a spot from one of my Nordies (or personal characters, if those should interest you).
I promise my payments will be excellent quality and all kaaring will of course be viable by breed standards.
I will NOT be trading to a spot from one of my dominant mutations, so only heterozygous mutations or regulars.
If you got something to offer, please share a link to your horse and tell me what you would like in return.
Also please check my breeding rules before offering, all of my normal rules will apply if you want a breeding in return: http://sateenkaarisitru
