Cover for my story "Golden Wolf: Raven God Regime", featuring Elendir, the main character.

Critiques

The first impression is very nice. Your artwork is very aesthetic and immediately catches attention due to colours and texture. It'...

Of Prequels, Warfare and Swiss Fairies...

  • Drinking: Absinthe and Black Jasmin Tea
From the whole three reviews of my first chapter I received, the most controversial was the one my brother gave me. He said it's too long... well I shouldn't expect any decent critique from someone who's wasting his life on Counter Strike, but... how 19 pages could be too long? He's joking!
He's not. He just never read a book other than based on Role Playing. What was I expecting?!

The friend of mine finished it in 15 minutes, and said it's good, the other friend of mine finished in half an hour, said the same. And no one criticised me properly. My book is asking for "we want you" poster (In Art Nouveau would be nice). Anyway (there we go again) I can't write second chapter if I don't read a certain book. I need to learn, you see... "Warfare in the Medieval World" - Books like this exist after all (I'm talking about Poland, I know you people have everything in UK! I've seen Book Store in London... It was like heaven... heaven full of books...)! The only thing that Poland have to do with medieval times is cultural decline. So I'm going to read it, and learn it to know better about those stuff, before I'll write something... strange, or most likely stupid.

There's one more thing about my book. What I'm writing right now is second part of the whole saga. I'm gonna write something like a prequel (Ok, I know I already write it in very very slow tempo, but it's necessity, so don't laugh and give up on me) And... unintentionally it'll turn out to be a trilogy. I don't know if it's good or bad... but anyway (again goes again) I'll finish the "Raven God Regime" first, so don't worry. The first part will be telling about House of Ravenor, and most notably infamous Inneron II Ravenor, and also Elendir's childhood and how he met and lived along with Reandell. I'm also considering of taking the POV of some other character, never mentioned by name in my story and POV of Rianora from the House of Onacheron, which tells of death of her father, coronation of her brother Urchan and also her arranged marriage to Arin Finnarion. But there's still lots of time, I don't even know the title yet, so I'm going to reconsider all of that.

And as a real artist (hardly) and writer (most likely) I need to seek inspiration so I'm spending my only money on the most artistic liquor known to mankind (and certainly not the cheapest one)... absinthe! I just bought one thin bottle of Swiss Absinthe called "Brevans" that cost me 199PLN. And what made me to do such irrational thing? A label. Yup! I bought it because I liked the artwork glued to the bottle... well... partly... it's Swiss Absinthe after all!

Be creative people! And remember... don't judge the book by it's label... err... I mean cover... Until the next journal update! See ya!

Hi! And thank you so much for giving me my very first critique! I was so surprised to see that someone had added a critique to my picture, and I'm so happy with it! I think you were very kind to me, and I agree it would have been better with a calmer background. :)

Btw... You don't have weird english.. I could understand you perfectly! :)

It's no problem! I guess it's nice to receive a critique, so I wanted to criticize someone;).
