For #FeedbackFriday, I wouldn't mind some feedback on the short story linked below. Specifically, I'm curious if you're drawn in, and if you can suss out what the rest of the short story is going to be about by the time you finish the first scene with Elise. (Also I won't stop you if you want to read more!) What I'm hoping to achieve in the replies below.

#amWriting #feedbackWanted #critiqueWelcome

Trying to push myself outside my comfort zone a bit, working on a larger canvas with a larger palette too. This is Alex Bone, and he is certainly not based on any copyrighted characters. Certainly not.

Looking for C&C on what I could improve.

I feel I kinda lost it at the face, so I just decided to have fun with it instead.

#mastoart #pixelart #critiquewelcome

Maybe when posting #art, for those of us who welcome #critique for the sake of improvement, we should use a hashtag like #CritiqueWelcome or #FeedbackWelcome.

That way we can considerately apply it towards people who want it, while being considerate of the people who would probably see this and feel anxious.

@thom #CritiqueWelcome and #ArtCritiqueWanted are ones that I've seen people use in the past :)

@tuatarara maybe it's an idea to use a hashtag for it? Something like #CritiqueWelcome or perhaps more specifically #ArtCritiqueWelcome?

Could also create a Guppe group, but I fear that having to rely on another instance/service for it could be another barrier to enter, as well as another potential point of failure.

I wouldn't call myself a professional, beginning nor otherwise, nor do I have formal training, but I wouldn't mind some constructive critique on some of my work. Getting boosts and "that looks pretty" is nice and all, but constructive feedback would probably help more in improving my work. :)

A short #story (or is it a #Vignette?) in-between #ScienceFiction and #Fantasy based on a prompt from Critique Circle about dreams.

It's short, but still too long for a single toot, so I put it on my website: https://albert.aribaud.net/en/2021/04/13/dreamland/

Comments/critique welcome!

@Curator Didn't know if you meant 200 words total or per scene, but I guess either is good as long as something comes out of it.

After looking around a bit, a first draft of my future #satyr #OC #drawing. Much to fix as this is a rough #sketch just to get thjngs rolling, and I haven't drawn for months. Also, got to think up a punny greek name.

Anyway: #CritiqueWelcome

Hi all,

I'd written this little #story in French quite some time ago, and now here it is in English. It's more light-hearted #SciFi than serious #ScienceFiction but there you are.

This is where you will learn "How the Seirangs did not invade Earth thanks to General Coleman" :

#AmWriting #CritiqueWelcome

Started my vacation activities by revising my Guardian Angel story following the critiques I received at #CritiqueCircle. No major upheavals, but many small fixes.

If you haven't read it yet, or have but would like to read the new version, there it is:

https://albert.aribaud.net/en/2020/07/04/guardian-angel/

Of course, #CritiqueWelcome.

Now onto The Benefactor. That one will have to undergo *serious* surgery.

#CreativeToots #AmWriting #Fantasy.

Alright, so my urban-fantasy-ish short story _The Guardian Angel_ (not sure if I'll keep "The" in the title) is up on #CritiqueCircle for critters to lash, since yesterday and until next Wednesday!

If you're not on CC but want to read _Guardian Angel_, you can find it on my site too:

https://albert.aribaud.net/en/2020/07/04/guardian-angel/

Freel free to comment, there or here!

(Previous submission, _The Benefactor_, was quite fruitful, so I'm hoping this one will be too.)

#amWriting #CritiqueWelcome #CreativeToots

I submitted an English translation of my recent... Urban fantasy?... short story "L'Ange Gardienne" to #CritiqueCircle. It's supposed to become available for critique on July 15th. Till then, or if you are not on CC... You can go and read it there:

https://albert.aribaud.net/en/2020/07/04/guardian-angel/

#CritiqueWelcome, either as comments on the website or here -- under "spoiler" CW.

Hello Mastodon,

Is anyone interested in playing #BetaReader? I have put an English translation of my French #ScienceFiction #ShortStory "Le bienfaiteur" on my website for everyone to read.

#CritiqueWelcome!

Remember: English is not my mother tongue, so you SHOULD point any spelling, grammar, style, consistency or other language-related issue.

Of course, comments on the structure, themes, possible interpretations, etc are welcome too!

#CreativeToots

BTW, there is another English language short text available there too: https://albert.aribaud.net/en/2018/06/01/empathy/ #CreativeToots #CritiqueWelcome #Writing #ScienceFiction (French original here: https://albert.aribaud.net/2018/06/01/empathie/)

Hey all,

I did an English translation of my contribution to the current (French...) #EcritHebdo challenge.

You can read it here:

Stage 4: #colour selection. These may change over time, mind you.

BTW: never ever stay up late to paint a Mogwai with watercolors.

(yes, it just crossed my mjnd and no, I am not ashamed)

1st round of #colouring!

'course I'll have quite a few shadows to fix... Starting with the hand(s) and scabbard.

#MastoArt #Art #CreativeToots #AutodeskSketchBook #CritiqueWelcome #GirlsWithSwords

Before #colouring, I did some small fixes and then created the color masks.

(I almost lost this one. Thanks to whoever invented the recycle bin concept.)

#MastoArt #Art #CreativeToots #AutodeskSketchBook #CritiqueWelcome #GirlsWithSwords

Stage 3 of the gremlin #drawing #gremlin drawing (yes, exactly) - I call this the "probably final #sketch"

Next step will be looking back at references to establish the color palette.

(much better with the image attached)

Cleanup -- well, actually, #LineArt extraction done.

Now on to #colouring.
