Yep~ From left to right on picture one:
Rota, Victor, Emily, Seth, and Marty.

And on picture two:
Farish, Ritos, Meri, Koujaku, Mark

And then also added Orkus and Sakris (no group shot for the baddies)

These are the games that basically shaped my love of gaming or had a large impact on my life in some way ๐ŸŽฎ๐Ÿ’•

(I know I'm probably missing some, but this was what I could think of at the moment DX)

I limited myself to one game per franchise (sans TWEWY, legit couldn't choose between them). No real order as well

Also Star Rail's presence is specifically for the Amphoreus arc. I just chose the Evernight update because that's the part I played the entirety of in a single day ๐Ÿ˜‚

I tried to start with my childhood, then go to more recent ones--especially those that have influenced my writing in some way.

Also I tried not to do more than 5 per series, or else all the Tales games would be on here >.>''

Orkus likes just being in his demon form, so he's just a dragon like that. XD

Sakris changes constantly throughout book 1 since she's good at blending in and taking on various roles. She's a master of disguise for a reason~

Maybe one day he'll walk on the cat wheel.

Good morning #writingcommunity!

My insomnia is your gain! I got sick of the scammers targeting authors with their "wow what genre? dm me, i will beta read for u" or "i do illustration, dm me" bullshit, so I made a moderation list.

Feel free to @me whenever you find one to add to the list!

Calling AI "slop" has been one of the most effective instances of the public rebranding a product and it pisses them off.

Lungidus and Loyenie by Nush Deco. They are two characters from the Pentagonal Dominion books. They are married, deeply in love, and having a good time as they float through Monoceros, a crystalline city. Lungidus is a dark skinned, black-haired man in a green coat and hat, with a bardiche. Loyenie is a tan-skinned, red-haired woman in an elegant, sparkly dress and holding a glass. Above them, the purple moon of Aloutia shines bright with the planetary ring in front of it and the pink stars high above.

New artwork from Nush! Here we have Lungidus and Loyenie, two souls deeply in love with each other, living their best lives in Monoceros, the crystalline, tropical capital of Aloutia, where Lungidus is a guard and Loyenie is an assassin. They are the parents of Tynan, my next book's MC

I can't say too much, other than that a lot of book 1 is dedicated to answering that question~

Oh right, forgot Seth. He purposely pushes people away. It's kinda a huge problem. :D'

And then if Victor doesn't like you, he will purposely make snide comments and pick on you. Most of that's reserved for Farish, though; he gets along quite well with Rota and Emily, at the very least~

Farish can accidentally rub people wrong? He's actually really nice and considerate, but he can be blunt in a way that might not hit right with everyone.

Koujaku's similar, but also sarcastic and will call people out, so it's both on purpose and not?? She just can't help herself sometimes >.>''

Marty and Mark both do better with people. Mark's so mellow that he gets along with people easily. Marty's nice, so people like her, but she struggles with not standing out as much as her siblings, so it often feels surface-level to her.

Then Rota's the sweetest, so everyone loves her.

Ritos also gets along with just about everyone. Besides Meri, who thinks his attempts at flirting are dumb and annoying.

Meri struggles to get along with a lot of people, though. She's like a ball of anger issues half the time, especially in book 1.

whole Seth incident, which came from both of them rubbing each other wrong. She made a mistake, he rubbed her wrong, she rubbed him wrong... It's just a mess all over :D'

Anyway, onto less complicated characters... Nanashi tends to get along with everyone. They just get annoyed by his talking.

Emily is somehow all of the above. She's bubbly and friendly, until she's not. The second she's annoyed, she's not afraid to say it and make enemies if she must. She'll be purposely stand-offish to her enemies, while she's mostly friendly with others.

Though then there's the

Moodboard for THE GODS OF ATALANTIS featuring:

Ancient board games, temples with waterfalls pouring into pools, neat ancient fantasy cities, forehead kisses, frolicking in canals amid a palace, beautiful island coastlines, more ancient cities, and cool statues of strange gods.

Center Quote: โ€œFrom the day you left this village, you became more than merely yourself. You are the Sea Mother. This is the role fate has placed upon you. I told you when you left that I believed this path has opened up to you for a reason. I still believe that. Youโ€™ve been given a chance that few others ever haveโ€”the chance to change the world for the better. Iโ€™d even dare say itโ€™s your duty to do so, now that you have the means.โ€

Digital painting by me of Mireia, the MC of my Atlantis trilogy, standing with her arms spread out in front of a carved wall relief of her goddess alter-ego, Mu'u the Sea Mother. Mireia is a teenage girl with light brown skin, long dark brown wavy hair, and gray eyes, wearing a blue garment that clasps at her left shoulder, a wide purple cloth belt, and a few pieces of gold jewelry. Mu'u is a feminine figure with a large coral-like headdress, obsidian eyes, and seven scaly arms holding various objects: a skull, a fish, a hammer, a lyre, a bundle of lightning bolts, a swaddled baby, and a small boat. Behind her is a background of cliffs and sea waves full of ocean creatures & human figures sunk at the bottom.
