  1. Yeah, I can see that... Heh heh heh... I'm making a band called Evil&Jesus... Yeah... Anywho, hows that drawing coming?

    I just started a little while ago, as I've been pretty busy the last few days. I'm making it look like his armor is pieced together out of pieces of fallen foe's armor, but keeping the basic look of your drawing.

  2. Uh, because it's terrible!?

    Pff! I cracked up looking up at that.

     

    Anyways, I'm not entirely sure. Sea monsters are a cool thing to include, as long as they're not cliche. But I'm sure you know all about unusual sea monsters, Cthulhu.

     

    Another good thing is to further remove the world your story takes place in from ours through differences in even the most basic ways- Make your world flat, make it take place in the rings of a planet, I don't know... Just make your world awesome. Give it a name, too. Like... Fantasia. Except... Don't use that. It's copyrighted.

     

    Different regions should have different-sounding names, too. They'd all start out with different languages, so the names would have to differ. You can't find a place with a name like Los Angeles in Japan, can you?

     

    Different regions should also have different technology. Perhaps most of your characters use swords and axes and such, but, for variety, perhaps some far-off land has recently discovered gunpowder, and has primitive firearms?

     

    Make sure to describe vividly the customs and clothing of foreigners- Indigenous people and explores can be very intrigued by these sorts of things. If you were an Aztec, what would you think of the Spanish the first time you see them?

     

    That's all I could come up with. I'm not an expert when it comes to fantasy, but that seems to be pretty broad advice that can be used for most genres that involve a lot of imagination. I hope it helps.

    Also, for my drawing, what kinds of weapons do the Skorgalni have? I think they'd look cool with scimitars.
