I Used To Be A Powerlifter

The Rehabilitation of Death, by @bamsara

TROD BOOK 1 DONE!

more details (AND PHOTOS :] !!!) below the cut

I’m super new to bookbinding but really REALLY wanted to try it out! For this, ive split trod into groups of 7 chapters or so and am making each part into its own ~400 page book.

I’m not the happiest with how this came out (I’ve already started the second one and man it is sooo much better) but it is TREMENDOUSLY satisfying to be able to hold one of your favourite fics in your hands!!! Also this way I can convince friends to read it :3

I have yet to finish the spine and back cover. I’m thinking of making them match in some way though! ALSO I don’t have a cricut or anything because. expensive. so it’s me and my dip pen against the world

I’m v excited to post pics of the next one bc it’s got drop caps and a charm on the bookmark and nicer end pages and everything :) but I wanna wait until it’s done I think

OK PROCESS PICS AND MORE FINAL PHOTOS

I MADE A TAROT CARD FOR THE FRONT PAGE ALSO. FOR PIZZAZ

Keeping this for later!

Apparently a lot of people get dialogue punctuation wrong despite having an otherwise solid grasp of grammar, possibly because they’re used to writing essays rather than prose. I don’t wanna be the asshole who complains about writing errors and then doesn’t offer to help, so here are the basics summarized as simply as I could manage on my phone (“dialogue tag” just refers to phrases like “he said,” “she whispered,” “they asked”):

“For most dialogue, use a comma after the sentence and don’t capitalize the next word after the quotation mark,” she said.

“But what if you’re using a question mark rather than a period?” they asked.

“When using a dialogue tag, you never capitalize the word after the quotation mark unless it’s a proper noun!” she snapped.

“When breaking up a single sentence with a dialogue tag,” she said, “use commas.”

“This is a single sentence,” she said. “Now, this is a second stand-alone sentence, so there’s no comma after ‘she said.’”

“There’s no dialogue tag after this sentence, so end it with a period rather than a comma.” She frowned, suddenly concerned that the entire post was as unasked for as it was sanctimonious.

I absolutely adore this, from the antics to the well-communicated art~

More story planning doodles for Trod, maybe or maybe not

I know I'm drawing a lot more scenes before I've even finished the written drafts for them but if I don't have a visual of everything I'll die. anyway Im writing I prommy

This is AMAZING! I love the timing and expressions~<3

OKAY SO Idk when I'll finish this but l've had this idea for awhile so like- take what l have so far

I'm hesitant to get too much farther into it cause the ending has to do with the Kallamar fight and Im TERRIFIED what I have mapped out in my head for it will be made irrelevant when that chapter comes out, I just took whatever scraps of comics/art made of that scene and did my best LMAO

But I def would like to finish it cause hoo boy when I'm pacing around my house listening to the song and watching the mind movie of it in my brain it’s pretty epic ngl

Until then you may have this suuuuper rough animatic. I hope it will suffice for now

Character asks!

These are more focused on the background stuff rather than the usual "what would the character do in XY situation" kinds of asks. I've been looking for something like this for quite a while and in the end decided to make my own. Feel free to use, go wild, enjoy

What was the original thought that led to the creation of this character?

How long was the process before the character reached its final version? (or a version that would be clearly recognizable as the character?)

What was the first thing you decided on, the character's name, appearance, personality or their role in the story?

And reverse, which one of the four things did you struggle with the most?

How did you choose their name and why? Was it simply based on vibes or is there any specific meaning behind the name? Are the reasons behind their name different in- and out of universe?

What was the thought process behind their appearance? Did you go mostly for the aesthetic or are there other reasons they look the way they do?

What is an aspect of their appearance that you like the most?

What is the origin of their personality? And let's be honest - how much of it is projecting?

How big is their role in the story? Do they make a frequent appearance or are they a character with little "screentime" but big influence? Or are they just a favourite background guy?

What is their main character arc in the story? Where do they start and how do they develop? Do they get a happy ending or is their story a tragic one?

Is there any existing character from other media that your character resembles? Was the resemblance intentional or was it a coincidence?

Do you have a playlist for the character? What songs do you associate with them and why?

Do you have a voice claim for the character? What do you imagine the character sounds like?

Do you have any quotes tied to the character, either from the story itself or from another source that fit them?

Have you ever made a moodboard for them?

Is there any memes or running jokes associated with the character, both in- and out of universe?

Are there any motifs or symbols associated with the character? How are they represented, in their design, personality or in some other way?

Does the character have other characters connected to them? Do you have a family tree and "offscreen" connections made up for them or do they exist in a vacuum purely for the purpose of the story?

What is your general favourite thing about the character? What is your least favourite?

Bonus question: share any additional thoughts, art, favourite scenes, anything you've been waiting for a chance to ramble about

Aaaaaaa~! This is so cool!!

Almost 2 months of mine to make this. I wanted to try produce an animated story by my self, but oh boy did it a shit ton of work.

Music from the game obviously. I separated vocals and instruments of some songs, but it's hard to have the result that I want (ㅠ﹏ㅠ)

Normally I don't post my longer video on here, but eh, it's short enough, so... ¯\_ (ᵕ—ᴗ—)_/¯

There’s still more to the story—I'll see if I can continue the project. Any feedback or help is welcome!

You can also watch my stuffs on my YouTube if you want to •ᴗ•
