Community Rules!

(A copy of this post can be found on the About page, or https://foxfirefiction.locals.com/about Don't worry, no one's in trouble, I'm just re-posting this to the Newsfeed for a general FYI as we continue setting up! :) )

We don't have many, but what we do have is as follows:

General:

1) Don't be a jerk!
2) Have fun, as much as you can without breaking rule #1!

Supporters, Professionals, and Businesses:

3) Currently this community focuses on the entertainment industry only. This means things like artwork, books, music, video games, films, and plays. For other kinds of creative hobbies, please poke around on Locals.com for something that suits you. I'm sure the other communities would be glad for the traffic!

4) Keep any content posted directly to this community below a PG-13 level. For those who don't live in America with our film ratings system, this means only things you would be comfortable with your teenager viewing, or as is said on the internet: Safe-For-Work (SFW). Limited swearing is okay.

6) If you link to content outside of Locals.com, you may include content up to an R rating, otherwise known as Adult, Mature, or Not-Safe-For-Work (NSFW). Note that whatever element gave your content that R rating cannot be visible in your post here!

7) If you are advertising your services or for another community, please limit such posts to one post per quarter (every three months). If you are posting an opportunity for a job or commission, limit this to one post per opening. (Multiple openings can be put in the same post.) These measures are to help reduce spam.

8) Posts that violate the above rules may be removed without warning. I say may; I'll try to tell you if you break the rules and what you can do to fix it, but the reality is I can't foresee every situation, and there may be times I just have to pull things without notice.

9) Similar to rule #8, we here on FoxFireFiction are not responsible for the business practices of companies or individuals advertising through here, meaning, if someone you found through us defaults on payments, breaks a contract with you, or otherwise is acting the jerk, we can't do anything about it. You'd have to refer to your payment processors or a personal lawyer for that. We do however reserve the right to block businesses or individuals we get multiple reports on for bad behavior.

Playing With Architecture

Art stream time! In this one I played with a new way of doing architecture and its shading, stumbling my way through new tools as I did so. This would probably work better in a vector program where I can make the shapes perfectly clean. Not an art I'll keep, but a learning experience.

Concept Sketching: Three Comics

I'm having a very productive week!

Here's the sketching phase, perhaps the most fun of the art phases aside from coloring in plate armor. Since each of these weas only about 5 minutes long, I combined them into one video.

Three World of Warcraft comics! Titles will probably be, oh, I dunno...Exception!, Siqsa's Eulogy, and Three Cloth Boots (Socks).

If you're interested in seeing the completed comics, as well as an explanation for how I got started on these, check out my blog!

The Nameless Accounts: The Prison Camps (16)

The akor’mar occupation of Sun-On-The-Lake was not a certain thing by any means. On the outside, it appeared as if Sun-On-The-Lake had always been an akor’mar city, for all the wuyon’mari you saw out in the open. The akor’mari sung and celebrated and began to build up rudimentary dwellings for themselves -- and for their prisoners – as if it was nothing more exciting than carving out a new market cavern back in Vuzsdin.

Yet in the alleyways and abandoned corners of the city, there was still danger. We may have occupied the main roads and the Palace, but the rest was free-for-all. At night we were safe enough; we could see in the dark better than the wuyon’mari, and they knew it. During the day, though, where the sun stung our eyes, they came out to harass us. There were ambushes and raids and assassinations. Daily we were warned by our officers about places still held by the wuyon’mari, where they had taken pains to dig out the cobblestones and plant pitfalls or other kinds of traps. The ...

The Nameless Accounts: The Love of an Akor'mar (15)

The next few weeks — or was it months? — after the fall of Sun-On-The-Lake was a blur to me. The akor’mari set up shop within the city itself, repairing some of the buildings and walls, making them battle-ready. I don't know if they planned on living in the city once it was cleaned out, or if it was simply to be a temporary headquarters for the rest of our operations in Nah’Ke’tzin. They acted as if they expected retaliation.

The rest of the army was housed in tents, set up wherever there was space for them. I slept in Sus'syri’s tent during the days, half because that's how cramped the available lodging was, and half because... I felt different somehow. And somehow, she could understand.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been the sort to be in the middle of attention. I talked lots, laughed lots, told stories. I had many friends -- or at least people I would speak with regularly; I know the word does not mean the same thing in your language. Still, I enjoyed their presence and would...

The Nameless Accounts: The Fall of Sun-On-The-Lake (14)

Some of the army's excitement waned as we stumbled our way through the twisting forest paths of Lesser Nah’Ke’tzin: now tame Surfacer forests of beech and oak. Scouts like myself had chosen a path that took us in a circuitous route around Rising Heath, and we could let our guard down for the first time since we had come in from the ships. We marched in single file along deer trails, stepping in each others’ footsteps, moving only like the akor’mari can with complete silence, as if we were all playing Stalk-the-Nekru in the close tunnels of our homeland. I wondered then if we had only been taught those games to prepare us for something like this, not just our own childish amusement.

Our nerves and the excitement came back all at once when we finally found ourselves up on the gray cliffs overlooking Sun-On-The-Lake. It was just past dawn, and we could see the waters of the city’s namesake, Lake Ta’hiki, through the mist.

I have been to that city in the years since the war, and it is now not ...

The Hottest Day of the Year
Epilogue

“You’d better be right about this,” the Commander growled as she looked down at the pair of shrouded bodies resting in a place of honor in the middle of the great hall. So far, no one else had been allowed in to see them, not even family: she could faintly hear the bawling of one or another of Neddryn’s relatives down the hall, and it irritated her. “For your plan, I may have lost two good soldiers today. ”
