Mad robin: those are amazing! I really love your art style!

Okay my mind likes playing with ideas. I am toying with the thought of totem animals for each crew member.  I want any opinions, I'd like to only use each one once, so Dragon(western), and unicorn are taken.
Oh, ummmm... Barn owl for me I guess.

What exactly is a totem animal?
It's usually a spirit animal that offers guidance, everyone has one, even if they don't realize it. They are like protecting spirits as well.

Oh, well, I have no idea then. Either a wolf or a white-tailed eagle maybe.

Squirrel A mouse is probably the most accurate for me.

Gwenno I just got home so I could upload this http://yoruhana-hitsugaya.deviantart.com/art/Art-Trade-The-Dragon-Roars-529376042?ga_submit_new=10%253A1430086325&ga_type=edit&ga_changes=1&ga_recent=1 if you want I can add a background, but for now I'm happy with it.
Also it looks awesome so far! (I understand the camera feels. )

I've already fangirled over this on Deviantart but I'll say it here again anyway because why not :3 - this is so totally awesome and I love it! Dunno if you decided on the dragon as totem animal because I'm Welsh, or because that's what your mage senses were telling you, but for whatever reason the dragon is exactly right ^_^ No need to add a background unless you particularly feel like it. I seem to be in a minority here where backgrounds are often my favourite parts of a picture to draw (such a weirdo I know…)

I'm wondering... could a kind-of-very-short-novel be a self-insert ? *Nervous smile* The fact is I fear I won't do anything else with that character but she won't let me in peace before I take her out of my mind....

Everyone is creative in different ways :) If your self insert wants to exist as a novel then that's perfectly fine, and really, some of these 'sonas can be phenomenally bossy they just do as they please and you'd end up with that story regardless

Also *ppppphht* troll dancing :P I really hope this becomes a thing…. actually, if anyone knows of caramelldansen THIS is something I would love to see some of the 'sonas doing (also the real SSSS crew…. and just everyone in general. I sometimes feel unhealthily addicted to that dance)


....Who if I may ask is the dragon? Also greedy dragon or wrathful dragon?

The dragon is MEEEEEEEE! The Welsh have an understanding with dragons in our stories, they can be either good or bad, but the red dragon symbolises our people, and so we adopted it as our national animal ^_^ (my 'sona is Norwegian, but any excuse to have a dragon right!) Anyway, might post the most famous story in the global mythology thread actually seeing as it's pretty nice and everyone likes dragon stories :D

*Snort*  Mine would be something small, furry, and weak that sleeps a lot and hides under things.  Like a dormouse.  Except I don't think dormice make noise.

A guinea pig, then.  (And they're probably extinct in the Known World, so that fits.  Unless someone's started raising them for food again, like in Peru.  But rabbits are bigger and reproduce faster.)

Also, to Mélusine, I definitely think so! :D

Ok, I'll continue to try to translate my four pages in the most correct english possible. Past time in english, I know you hate me and this is the same for me.

Neat.




Anyway Strelok's spirit animal will be the fox for reasons that may or may not be clear if I ever finish the written bit I'm working on.

We are *so* going to have a dance party at our first SSSS meet-up.  The "Pata Pata" and "Macarena" [...] until we all fall into a big giggling heap on the dance floor.
... right. I think I have a solid mental image now.

Ok, the world is full of lefties, but I start acting like a crazy whenever I meet another one.
*left-handed high-five*
Karri is AWESOME there
and also, Haiz, that dance party is adorable (I nerd-dance when no-one's looking, but don't actually dance) and the falling-troll is HILARIOUS.
Aaaand here's your thank-you-drawing, Piney!

what is posture

And I've been seeing something about animal totems? Ahhh what to choose, oh gosh.

Hehe, "something bad, presumably" :D I certainly wouldn't waste my defense on something that wasn't bad! (I try to ration my resources, heh)
but also it could theoretically be something not bad considering how my vision (and consequently, my aim) is without my glasses
