Melonie's House
A little experiment with Adobe Illustrator's "art brushes" that may be handy for drawing backgrounds for a game! :3
Featuring Melonie and her twins~
I mean her actual twin sons Diego and Lucas XD
What do you think? 😄

I did read whole Yasha's story at newest image, then needed some time to sort out what I wana write and image vanished next day.
First of Melonie's story, her kids in fact everything about her including this very image! Is inventive, charming and mysterious in good way. Just look right here on that adorable bunny, trees, roots, branches etc.
Ideas about one twin being backbend, other frontbent or wink on "folding" even time - cool twist!
Yasha's story also worked well, liked most part about him giving bits of his "soul" into stone twin brothers. Golden pendant design and how to wear it another pearl!
And when both stories joined and twins started cuddling little angel it looked like another amazing adventure.
If I may advise, story about Yasha discovering Melonie's house and wonders there should have been longer. Him playing around with them, washing from mud etc. Just to underline how magical it all was. At least thats what I would like to know and imagine more.
What seemed not really working was visitor from foreign land himself. At one moment he was delighted by Yasha, boasting he seen real angels and they were same, only to smirk on him, even giving away pendant when told stones aren't real. I dont like that kind of person. Any kind well traveled person would love Yasha just for a show and pose, maybe gave some extra coin, advice or special kind of clothing... . Trying to say, that this "third" part of story somehow downplayed (subtracted mystery from) other two parts and for no reason at all.
Another hickup for me was Yasha's head X-D I was so glad you addressed it in story but still feeling of his cute head being pressed too much felt bit off. But very idea and execution of everything else on image was 100% good!!!
Yasha taking special bath, eating secret herbs then being squished into rubber puddle while doing silly faces enjoying each new brick and gasps of audience does sound and surely look entertaining.
I hope this oppinion will help you with whatever you feel is wrong with picture, if nothing else Iam now marveling as much at this one :-) Cheeers!!!

Well, I'll put that picture back up then, I just thought nobody liked it. LOL! Honestly I just wanted to play around his title the Unbreakable Boy and his love for sculptures.
I didn't imagine the traveller as a jerk but he only ordered that pendant as a ticket to see the special show, apparently he was disappointed that they made him see a miracle and then just ruined it for him. It was a part of the story where I tried to relieve the reader and turn the picture into a joke, and then suddenly bring it all back and make it real again.
Yes, the head was a problem when trying to implement the idea... With Helen's picture it was easier since she only squished her chest and it looked funny and surreal to have it like dough, but the same doesn't really work with the head...
And yeah, the part with the twins could be longer but it was a bit confusing that it just got injected into another story. Guess it was like making a new bit of lore and we have it like this for now, and later it will be expanded into its own story where the twins are charmed by Yasha's beauty once they wash all the mud from him, then they play with him a lot, letting him play with their bendy bodies until he's completely charmed by contortion and they start teaching it to him and he realizes he's never done anything better. So guess the story was the first idea and the same can be retold in more detail.

I watch and read everything you do with anticipation and joy. Of course here and there I have nothing to say and do not wana force "fluff". But other times I just need more time to think about all I have seen and read.
Honestly Iam very surprised so little people comment lately, your works are on fire as always - (blue snake ie !!!). Sometimes i think lot people is just stupid... even in my daily life. They use so much time on ugly uselles stuff an so little on nice and smart things which make them happy.
"Trick" with weightless bricks was indeed funny even realization it wasn't trick at all but visitor reaction was as you said "jerkish" at least for me. And flushed "WOW feeling" out of the room like when you open window :D
"Ha so he can do the pose but not with 200kg on his back, than he is fraud and sore loser, lets quickly forget about that village amateur... ."
BUT I totally get how HARD is to connect different parts/ideas of story as that is something Iam attempting to do lately in my short stories. I want SO MUCH to finish stories about Lichard and even one special one from scifi setting. Which already have some nice scenes. But then there are scenes which Iam afraid are ruining whole story and have no idea how rewrite them for better. It is almost a year and having fear I wont find resolve to finish it at all.
So you know if your story has a hickup or two it only means you can't fold time as Yasha X-D and can't dedicate few days just to make one page of story just perfect.
Helen's picture - that picture is heaven for me, you captured so well how wonderful it would be to have ability to squish oneself just for funn, how it must feel like if your body can take it without hurting. And then there is whole another artistic level to it all. As much as I love contortion because of you, one of my other fetishes always been imagining some sort of "perfect" body and what it could do. And how you could just play/exercise with yourself beyond normal limits. In real life I just know things I want can't be done and so there is no point even in attempting as I would probably hurt myself long before but Helen ohhh that lucky girl!!!
Have a nice day Yuni! Thats most important bayeeee...

Yeah, people are so stupid and I know it because I'm not an exception as I keep building stupid and ugly things in Minecraft instead of making any new art or replying to the tons of comments I got. There's no excuse for that.
I don't know about stories, to be honest I write them because I'm just writing something I always wanted to see written, so I'm just doing it myself. For example I always wanted to read a hot and sexy sentence or two about an awesome character doing contortion, so in the end since nobody's doing it, why don't do it yourself? After several years of writing I realize I'm getting the same enjoyment when I read someone's good story and when I just write it by myself. There's a difference between just having a fantasy in your head and having it "on paper", the latter feels WAY better, no matter if you're a good writer or not but having your fantasy written down makes it feel almost real, like it's not just a dream you had but feels like something that actually happened, when it's written about.
I dunno if it's because we tend to believe everything we read, like there's tons of newspapers telling us "facts", most of those facts are not true but on some level we still believe them. But the tables can be turned around and instead of reading newspapers we can write our own about things that are not true and then I fool myselves so much that I start believing "there's no way those people aren't real, they must exist somewhere..." And as you keep writing it only gets better because only practice can make perfect.
Yeah, it pisses me off that in real world the body is hurting from basically anything, I'm so tired of dealing with all those little fucking sicknesses here and there, not to mention doing anything fancy like simple splits or backbends is not even possible without some superhero effort. At least in art I want to see perfect bodies that can do anything and enjoying it, without all that real world bullshit...

I found your conversation with Shifty above very inspiring and an educating read. Also, I'm glad you put the picture back up instead of keeping it offline! I too always look forward to your posts and check your page daily for updates. You're certainly one of my main inspirations! So I hope you continue to post and only get better and more stunning at it. And don't stop uploading your stories with each picture either! I enjoy them very much.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
