I was also homeschooled, so I think what you’re doing is great. I’m almost finished up now with my undergraduate degree. Oh and I would be careful about who you take cookies from. If you want a good cookie, come visit TUBA in the community and guilds threads. I shall check TUBA out, but just so we're clear, I vote we name change to CLARINETS . We'll figure out the acronym later Creative Like Aristocrats Reading Intriguing Nonsense Everyone Typically Savors. ....Nevermind, that was just..awful. Lets stick with TUBA. 7 hours ago, Argent said: Uh, you need to enjoy these books because I need your art to pick them up... Only if you agree to be my #1 Fan. Tell you what, what is your favorite part of the books? Book and page number. Then I'll know which books to start reading. I'll read up to that point, and try my best to capture it. Yay for inspired practice ! Then you can tell me my art is great even if it sucks and we can be best friends and live happily ever whenever. 7 hours ago, Kidpen said: Rainbow Dash is obviously the best. You can tell because she says so several times. Darn it! That reasoning is flawless! Curse you Rainbow Dash! 7 hours ago, Mraize said: So is that a yes you want to join our guild or no?

My alter ego is an old man with a bubble pipe. It represents my love for ugly sweaters and my desire to have wrinkles but never actually grow up. 7 hours ago, Droughtbringer said: Because she does really cool art You're now on my list of favorite people and things (Who needs more than one list?).

I beseech you good sir. My ears are bleeding from the whining already, don't encourage him ! There are other ways! And I'm not saying JOrville should buy me tacos. Cause that sounds like bribery. I prefer, 'loving incentives that may or may not have an alternate motive'. Seriously though, I can certainly try to draw something if you guys seriously want me to give it a shot, but first I need to immerse myself in the story, and see how the books are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kidpen he/him Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 FYI, try to avoid posting multiple times in a row. It makes the mods grumpy, and nobody likes it when that happens . That's a fantastic alter ego. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebecca she/her Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 Welcome to the Shard! Seems I’m a bit late to the party, but oh well. I agree that you need to read the books. I need more fanart! Plus, his books are amazing, and you’ll love them. P.S. Rainbow Dash is definitely the best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a Lifetime he/him Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 Welcome to the Shard! I hope we're not overwhelming you with all these replies. I just want to add $0.02: 5 hours ago, QuirkyGrandpa said: I might look into rereading the WoT novels. 1) My own WoT reread a few years ago was made much more enjoyable by following along with Leigh Butler's commentary. 2) Depending on what you're particularly critical about when it comes to books, I might suggest The Emperor's Soul as a good place to start. It's nicely self-contained, and I think the overall quality of its prose may be the best Brandon has written so far. And since it's a short novella, if it doesn't work for you, you'll quickly be able to move on to something else. The flip side of being a short novella is that it can't contain as much in the way of big climax 'avalanches' or detailed worldbuliding compared to the longer books. I personally enjoy the worldbuilding a lot, which helped make Mistborn my favorite when I first started reading Sanderson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes you fancy! I am definitely going to get started this week. I'll be sure to let you guys know if I get to something good and do some fan art ;). P.S.

I'm having a good time, but thanks all the same! 1) I book marked that page! I love it! Especially since there are so many plot lines and strings raveling all over. It really is a big world, and a lot is going on. 2) I'll look into it! Everyone has had an opinion so far , which I really appreciate. Gives me a good idea where I should be starting. I love world building too. I think that's why I was such a fan of WoT. Might be the artist side of me too. The flavor is in the details. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, the bribery was mostly aimed at getting my husband to go to Taco Bell, haha. I think, though, with everyone's input I got a pretty good idea where to start. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voidus Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Welcome to the forums! You can talk to Mrs. Voidus sometime and create a club for people whose spouses dragged them into this forum Also, Fluttershy is the best, it's true because she doesn't even feel the need to remind you that it's true.
