Book Cover Reveal!

| Alex/Elliot/Ricky

Hail and well met nerds, geeks, and dorks. I guess this isn’t just a book announcement, because I figured out that I’m going to be going by August on here now.

Now that the name announcement is over with, it’s time to actually reveal my book! The first draft is almost done, so I’m going to be editing it pretty soon. I’m very excited to share the cover and synopsis of Tales of the Old City!

So here’s the front cover! I don’t really have much to say on it, so we’re just going to jump into the synopsis.

The Old City is full of lore and legends, someone needs to share them with the outside world. A collection of stories centered around the royalty, rebels, and commoners of the Old City. Join the residents on quests for glory and to save their loved ones.

The Old City

Some of you might recognize some of the characters in this book from my comic, The Elements. I said that I was going to just write a book with some illustrations, and this is what I got! The Elements character designs are below.

I hope you guys enjoy! Leave a comment below, I’d love to talk to you! Remember, you’re going to be amazing. Look to the stars. Aim. Ignite!

Lilah’s School of Supernatural Creatures: part two

| Alex/Elliot/Ricky

Hail and well met nerds, geeks, and dorks. Elle here. Today I’m back with part two of my original story.

I showed up at the school before anyone else. There were so many trees all over the grounds. I could hear them, whispering about past students, how they left, or, in some cases, died. They didn’t notice that I could hear them until I spoke to them. ”Where is everyone?” I leaned against the nearest tree.

”They are all on their way.” the tree I was leaning on answered in a raspy, deep voice that came from the roots of the tree.

I nodded as I asked another question. ”Do the students here die often?”

”More then you’d think.” a different tree answered this time. Their voice more willowy and light.

As the second tree stopped talking, chaos began to close in around me as more and more students arrive.

”You’d better get over there.” the first tree whispered, their branches nudging me towards the crowd of Supernatural Creatures.

I hope you guys enjoy. Leave a comment below, I’d love to talk to you! Remember, you’re going to be amazing. Look to the stars. Aim. Ignite!

Tag Announcement

| Alex/Elliot/Ricky

Hail and well met nerds, geeks, and dorks. Elle here. Today I wanted to share a few details about a tag I’m working on. And, if you have any ideas, you guys can comment ideas for a title for it because my mind has blanked. Also, this is my 50th post here!

The tag basically is a challenge. To share how fictional characters changed your life. You can create any form of art, writing, drawings, etc. but it must show how they impacted you.

I’m working on an animation for mine and I’m really excited to share it with you!

And because I have no art that goes with this, here’s a random drawing/art print I drew a bit ago.

I hope you guys enjoy. Leave a comment below, I’d love to talk to you! Remember, you’re going to be amazing. Look to the stars. Aim. Ignite!

Sunshine Blogger Award #2

| Alex/Elliot/Ricky

Hail and well met nerds, geeks, and dorks. Elle here. I was nominated by I Blog (who I’m going to be calling B. for the rest of the post)

Would you rather only be able to read blog posts or write blog posts?

Probably only read posts. Mainly because there are so many amazing blogs that inspire me.

What is your favourite hairstyle?

My hair is super short, so I usually just leave it down. (In other hair-related news, I got my hair dyed rainbow)

What is your favourite season?

Fall! I have a few reasons, *clears throat and pulls out a list* Halloween, the weather is so nice, all the trees look so pretty, no one judges me for wearing hoodies, pumpkins, and my birthday is actually in the fall! (plus we usually go to Disney in the fall…)

Do you use paper for your notes/lists/other things or do you use digital methods?

I use a mix of both. I love using actual paper, but sometimes digital is better.

What is your favourite blog to read?

Again, how dare you make me choose? See list Here.

Do you prefer sweet or savory snacks?

Both. At the same time. Seriously though, sweet and savory treats are the best.

What is your favourite snack food?

I love apples, especially with peanut butter.

If you could only drink one beverage for the rest of your life, what would it be?

You know what? I’m going to be boring and say water. (You said nothing about flavored water)

What is your favourite blog post idea that you never ended up writing?

I’m pretty sure I write almost all the posts I think of…

Do you like board games? If so, what is your favourite?

I love board games! I love playing Villainous, but if (and hopefully when) Disney makes The Choosical, I will somehow own it. Bet on it.

What is one random thing that makes you happy?

Card tricks! At the time of writing this, I started learning some because I watched Magic Camp on Disney+ and have become obsessed with magic, again.

I tag whoever wants to do this! I suck at coming up with questions, so just use B.’s if you decide to do this.

So that’s that (on that). Thanks again B. for the nomination! I had a ton of fun with these questions. I hope you guys enjoy. Leave a comment below, I’d love to talk to you! Remember, you’re going to be amazing. Look to the stars. Aim. Ignite!

Yet another announcement + sneak peek at new art print series

| Alex/Elliot/Ricky

Hail and well met, nerds, geeks, and dorks. Elle here. Sorry about the long title. As it says, I have another announcement, I will no longer be posting everyday. I’m going to try every week and see how that works. But my family and I started school again, so I haven’t had as much sitting around doing nothing time.

But I’m also starting an online art print shop that will be set up soon! I’m already working on a series of prints for you guys. If you want to suggest a print you can contact me HERE! So, without further ado, here is a sneak peek at my first art print series!

I hope you guys enjoy! Leave a message below, I’d love to talk to you! Remember, you’re going to be amazing. Look to the stars. Aim. Ignite!
