Bloodbound :: Chapter Fifteen

Chapter Fifteen :: Trials & Trickster You know how problems start. You think you have things figured out--that maybe, just maybe you have a handle on all the shit that`s gone down--and then something comes along that wrecks your little illusion for good. Life can`t ever be simple, can it? No, of course not--at least, not for me. I`ve been fighting for so long. I`m tired. I`ve wanted it to end for longer than I can remember now. But somewhere along the line I started to realise that that`s how it`s got to be--no matter what you do, some idiot`s always going to come along to burn down your house of cards. Always. - - - It was the sa

Bloodbound :: Prologue

All was quiet. Nothing stirred at this time of the night, when the dark stillness that shadows the hours before dawn spread like a thick, soft blanket. The moon and stars shone fitfully through thick cloud cover, illuminating the ground patchily as the wind swept the clouds by on its eternal course. A lonely owl, perched in a high spruce tree, surveyed the woods below it, the lights of the small town just pinpricks in the far distance. It searched for a sign of prey; it was growing colder as autumn crept into being, and hunting opportunities were rare now. Suddenly, there was movement in the still forest—the owl half-raised its wings

Bloodbound :: Chapter One

Chapter One :: Safe and Sound I always loved to dream. Dreams take you beyond the borders of reality; transport you to other worlds, other times, when anything is possible. Some mornings I would lie in bed, eyes closed, trying to preserve any shred of memory of those dreams. They were escapes, my safe havens. But what do you do when reality crosses the border of logic and becomes a dream? And what do you do when you can no longer escape it? ~ "You sure you`ll be okay?" Kiriia glanced back at her brother from where she sat crosslegged on the floor next to a half-filled bookshelf. Though his tousled, cloud-white bangs swept over his face,

Bloodbound :: Chapter Two

Chapter Two :: Corrupted & Innocent They say that even bad memories are harmless. That they can`t touch you, no matter how terrible they are. People tell you to move past them, put them aside, and go on living—that eventually, memories fade and become nothing more than half-forgotten fragments, something that might have happened to another but never to you. They`re wrong. Memories, the bad ones, are things that take root in you. The more you try to forget, the tighter they choke you. They grow and haunt the edges of your mind, not always apparent but never banished, until they turn to nightmares. And then…then, there`s no w

Literature

Bloodbound :: Chapter Three

Chapter Three :: Protector & Deceiver Is it so terrible to want to dream? To escape past reality and live forevermore in a wild dreamscape, where anything is possible? In my dreams, memories mix with imagination, and anything and everything can happen. Rules don`t apply, and logic withers. Dragons and phoenixes exist alongside people, and the darkest monsters of our imaginings walk freely, unfeared yet still untamed. Sight and sound and touch cannot confirm that what you dream is real, but they don`t have to. You already know it`s real. It`s all real. After all, who can say what is a lie and what is truth? The only difference is how you

Literature

Bloodbound :: Chapter Four

Chapter Four :: Sheep & Wolves Darkness is a mysterious thing. We fear it, yet we are drawn to it, like a moth to a candleflame. It dances at the edges of our consciousnesses, tempting and waiting for a slip in the defenses of our logic. The darkness is madness, and it exists inside all of us. The madness is what drives a person to lie, to steal, to kill...and however much we fight it, it will always be there. We are moths to a candleflame, flowers drawn to the lure of the darkness. And like the paper-winged moth, once we find what we desire, we can no longer escape it. ~ The waxing full moon rose outside Kiriia`s window for the second

Bloodbound :: Chapter Five

Chapter Five :: Truth & Facade "Oh, that does look painful." The room came slowly into focus, but her pain-dazed mind was unable to tell if her surroundings were dark or if her vision was just hazy. Every muscle in her body ached as though she`d run miles, and her heart beat about as fast, keeping time with the throbbing in her head. Her shoulders itched and burned as though from a spider bite, and even her very bones seemed to hurt. She looked about groggily, finding herself lying on an unfamiliar bed. Not a hospital, though--more like a small bedroom. But how had she gotten here? Her vision was clearing slowly--she could now make out hea

Bloodbound :: Chapter Six

Chapter Six :: Hawk & Prey Sometimes, you can walk away from what`s happened. Sometimes you can`t. Sometimes it cripples you to the core; sometimes you can`t move for the broken beating of your heart. It isn`t often you find an escape. It isn`t often you don`t have to dream anymore, because what you wanted--most of all--is right in front of you. And that dream is beautiful, glorious in every brilliant meaning of the word. But no matter how much you deny it, it`s still just an escape. Sometimes... you can`t fix what`s broken. - - - There she is. What`s left of her, anyway; damn Possessors. The shell cowered before him as soon as he c

Chapter Seven :: Freedom & Trapped Dreams are more frightening than anything else in this world or any other. Dreams are terrifying...because they end. - - - Razor talons like knife blades whistled through the air mere centimeters above Kiriia`s head; had she not thrown herself to the side, they would have scythed neatly across her throat. She hit the ground painfully, landing on her shoulder, but didn`t give herself time to register the fact; spurred by instinct she didn`t know she had, Kiriia rolled to the side and scrambled back onto her feet, panting as adrenaline thundered through her veins. Akura turned on a dime and jumped tow

How I paint - tutorial on painting (+Q n' A)

Jan 3, 2016

EDIT:// There have been some questions about this and I thought I'll make a Q&A for them so that you won't have to ask me all these things over and I don't have to answer the same questions all the time haha Scroll to the end of this journal to read-- ok Idk how Flash works and these would make too big of a file so I'll post it like this for now: Q&A What program did you use? I use Photoshop Cs5 What are your brush settings? For this I had the most common brush '30' (not the airbrush one), combined with the brush '45' Can this be used on SAI?

My Bio

Why allo! I`m Skye, nice to meet those of you who are reading this. *hands out digital cupcakes* I`m just a hobbyist for now, as I don`t think I have the skill to turn this into anything profitable.

I am a college student, pursuing a major in vet med, and a minor in psych. I`m a freelance writer, and I`m always up for a good onexone. My characters are my family, and you can find most of them on my website, in the character portal, or the occasional art of some of `em here.

I mostly write, although I`m practicing with both human and animal digital art. Traditional art for me is just pencil and paper, eh, but nowadays I just mostly use my tablet. I`ve been getting dragged into making plushies, too, so I`ll put up some of my attempts here also.

I`m currently writing Bloodbound, a modern fantasy series set somewhere vaguely in the northwestern US. It`s derived from a series I used to write called High School Daze, which started as complete fun, just for giggles, and turned into something pretty cool. New chapters go up whenever I get them done, which is a while `cause I actually have a lot to do.

But anyways, thanks for visiting, eh? See ya around~

Hey there.

Hi! I'm pretty much dead for all intents and purposes =D No really man. I've done a ton of drawing--and painting too recently--but I haven't gotten around to uploading stuff. I've been writing a looot recently too, but nothing I think finished enough to even get shoved into Ramblecorner. So what I'm trying to say, I guess, is that I might put some stuff up here soon. I'm still doing the things with the stuff and the things. And hey, college is like two semesters away from over and I still haven't learned how to manage time wisely or keep up with things like uploading actual THINGS to dA! Whoa.

This is more for me, since no one actually reads these. I`m okay with that. I`ve been drawing a lot, but I don`t have time to get my tablet out and work on inking things ;w; College is things. ..but anyways. I realise Bloodbound is full of things that don`t match up and things that I really don`t bring back later, like characters I introduce and never use again lol. It`s because I`m planning on going back and revising everything later. For now though, even though I don`t have the next chapter ready, I`ve written out a TON of scenes that I may or may not use in the future. I`m obsessed XD Anyways. More stuff soon.
