It’s not a Windstone Stormdancer, but I seriously adore the fat little dapple grey pony that you’ve got there haha. 😀 Awesome collection!

Excellent!
Your hippocampus is looking crazy good, I’m loving the scales and I definitely agree that the model horse community would be into this. 😀 I’d try for a start (when this is done) posting photos/a photo collage of it to deviantART and then getting it reblogged in a model horse group – I believe that there’s several. I think for the most part model horse people just do their stuff via blogs/websites in general for the most part though – when they aren’t putting their work in shows. Anyway, that’s my two cents! This is seriously looking awesome! 😀 I can’t wait to see more!

Aw man, I totally adore that wild dog kitsune, it’s gorgeous! 😀 It makes me sad that I’ve decided to hold off buying more PYOs for now. Love the tigery unicorns too!

I bet she turns out awesome Stormbreeze 😀 I haven’t painted a kitty griff yet, it’s on my to do list though. I’m just bad with purple/yellow, I probably don’t do enough sunset scenes haha.

Thanks everyone! 😀 Hopefully it turns out, I really hope my cousin likes it when it’s done.
Haha I couldn’t agree more about blue and orange Prezaurian, it’s actually one of my absolute favourite colour schemes just because of that. I rarely see a picture with a blue and orange palette that I don’t like and I think at least 50% of my pieces use blue and orange haha. Second favourite is red and green and I have almost never ever used yellow and purple – it’s a tricky one. I don’t think that I could actually name a piece that I’ve done which even uses it. Silly yellow and purple.

The beginnings of the ice tabby dragon that my cousin who got my last dragon (flame tabby) as a wedding present commissioned. She’ll have orange eyes when done. (Their colours are blue and orange.) Hopefully they like her too!
Haven’t touched up the dark areas of turquoise yet. I’ll be giving her blue/green interference.
As soon as this one goes home I’m going to order another dragon – I have an excellent idea for a unique snake inspired one! 😀 That one will probably be up for trade/sale. I’d like to paint a kirin too, but if I did that I’d have to keep it and I’d rather have something I can possibly use for trading. I also want to paint another foop as a keeper piece because I just adore that sculpt!

I probably wouldn’t be able to afford one ‘cus I’m saving for a car and a trip to Texas now, but I’d go crazy to see more poison dart poads! The last batch of them was absolutely gorgeous!

I’d strongly recommend giving a book called ‘The Writer’s Market’ a read – it’ll tell you all you need to know about how to get your book published with a conventional publisher, including finding an agent and if you get your hands on a recent copy, it’ll even have agent/publisher listings of places that are looking for new material with details about the genres they like.
I have a book self-published with Lulu, but I don’t believe that I would ever do that again. Self publishing may be easy, but it demands a lot of self marketing, which I personally just don’t have time or money to invest in, so my next publishing attempts will be with conventional publishers. The book that I have with Lulu will be eventually removed and I’m only going to be using their services for printing out manuscript copies for personal physical record/archiving purposes. (It’s cheaper than printing at home. My current manuscript has taken around $40 to print so far with the cost of all the ink and ink refills figured in. Unformatted the thing is around 1,000 pages – formatted it’s around 650. I send the 650 page one to my beta readers haha.)
To be a writer, you have to have a great original idea but also be slightly ruthless and follow your instincts, because when you’re done the writing you then have to edit the thing and that takes a while. I’ve almost completely rewritten my current manuscript at least four times and it’s still not quite ‘there,’ but it’s closer. Editing isn’t just fixing grammar – it’s hack-and-slashing your plot and often redoing massive parts of it. Be stubborn, be determined and be confident and you’ll get there to your finished product. I believe this deeply. (I liken it a bit to a fossil dig because it can take a while and be quite tricky!) And definitely take inspiration from the success of authors that you don’t think are so great also – I do this all the time haha. 😉 It’s definitely encouraging – “If they can do it so can I!”
Also, write everyday and don’t get hung up over word counts. Just so long as you write something, you’re making progress and practicing, sharpening your skills. The progress is important because it can take a very long time to write a manuscript (unless you can do it absolutely full time somehow.) Don’t be over critical when writing either – only get critical after your draft is done and it’s time to go into hardcore editing mode. Then, question everything – but don’t get too hung up on grammar until your manuscript is close to a final form. That isn’t important in the beginning – plot, story and characterization are. It’s also very helpful to have other people (who you trust a lot) read over your work (‘beta readers’) and give you feedback. For security purposes I print a physical copy which I also use for editing because sometimes it’s easier to catch mistakes from a hard copy than a digital one. I also register my copyrights with my government to further protect it.
Anyway, that’s my two cents! Hopefully it was helpful in some way. 🙂 I recommend going to the websites of your favourite authors – they often have a page devoted to writing advice and their kernels of wisdom are simply invaluable. 😉
