Hey guys. I hope you're all doing well, making it through this insane heat. It's been a while since I last updated my journal, but I figured I would let you guys in on what I'll be up to for the next while. As some of you know, I have a poll going on my page for you guys to let me know what you're hoping to see more of. So far, I think the most votes has been for chibis, so you can expect some more of those. This poll will continue though, and which ever is most popular will be the thing I work on next.
Aside from those things that I listed, however, I am planning on doing something new. I have always been a fan of journals and about a year ago, I made my own -- binding and all. I'm still proud of it even after time has passed, but I want to see if I can improve my skills. So I am planning on creating a field journal for one of my OCs. I haven't decided who to do yet, but it will be between: Woodrow, Annabel, Henry, or Ren. I haven't included my other OCs because I don't think they would own a field journal, to be honest. I've been mulling this idea over for quite some time. Originally, I had planned to make a sort of "Book of Salem" which would be all about the history of the world I created, but I didn't think that would be as interesting as having personal ideas in it. Would you rather read a history book or someone's diary? I'd pick the diary.
I'm not entirely sure what I want to include in the field journal, but I have a few ideas. I want to include specimens of leaves and soil, and draw some of the wildlife. I've been searching up field journals for some inspiration, but anything you can offer would be greatly appreciated!
Also, I'll be posting all the pages separately and posting a link when I'm done to view them (so I don't spam you guys with the journal). But I'd also like to know which character you'd be most interested in reading about/seeing their adventures! Here's a couple brief explanations of them below:
Woodrow Sable // (26, M, 6ft 2") // An ex-commander and elite pilot for the army of Salem. Grew up as a child prodigy and joined the Aviators when he was 8 years old. He is charming and polite, but lives in conflict with himself. He wants to be a defender of justice, but also wishes to lead the Aviators. However, his knowledge of the corruption within Salem's government and army prevents him from doing so with a clear mind. Within his lifetime, he has changed so drastically that he seems to have lived an entire life in his 26 years. He adores exploring and travelling to places yet uncharted.
Henry Jones // (24, M, 5ft 9") // A childhood friend of Woodrow who lost himself early in life to his own uncertainty. He, like Woodrow, battled against an inner desire to be something more. His father expected him to be a politician, but he always had a taste for adventure like Woodrow. Henry confuses his admiration and desire to be like Woodrow for love and finds himself heartbroken. He lives his life as his father expects, falling into a deep depression as he ponders his old memories of hope. This eventually costs him his career and he is left with nothing but a chance to change his fate.
Annabel Black // (19, F, 5ft 5") // A student pilot under the instruction of Woodrow. She is particularly bright and thirsty for knowledge, as well as honest, outspoken, and just. She has disguised herself as a boy so as to join the army and wishes to discover everything she can. Her main motivation is to see the wonders of the world and be the person her parents never had a chance to be.
Ren Renyer // (27, M, 6ft 3") // Real name: Thaddeus Renyer. Brother of Sinclair Renyer, Woodrow's mysterious friend. Commonly considered a "tortured soul" by others, Ren is cold and cruel. He speaks his mind with frigidity and sees life in a narrow spectrum of disappointment and labour. He is an avid smoker and makes a point of appearing upper class in suits and shiny black shoes. However, his opinions of the world begin to change once he meets Caroline, his brother's closest friend, and starts to live for something other than himself - love.
I know this was long, but thank you, thank you, thank you, for everyone who read it! Let me know what you think~ Have a wonderful evening!
Best Regards,
