Try this on for size, I started making a visual thesaurus for fantasy writers a little while ago (at first I thought it was going to be hard, then after creating three pages I realised it would be next to impossible). Peasant Clothes

Good to hear, thanks a lot :). ALB2012 I just followed your blog and will send you a PM when I have a minute to read through your content. I may have a proposition for you, and thanks a lot for the link :). Devor, yep, that's the one. Thanks a lot for scrounging that link (I have no idea why I...

It is more targeted toward indie published authors - e-book, kindle - and people who post their stories in their blog. That said, if someone is trade-published it would not exclude them from a feature. For writers: The posts themselves are just a positive look at the person's blog. It's not a...

I really like the maps. They're reminiscent of nineties role-playing games: Hands down the golden-era of PC-RPG's.

There is a fair bit of sexual content in my work but I avoid writing explicit scenes. It's unavoidable in a story about adults, I think. But, as the saying goes: sex sells :).

Hello all, Not much really to say, along with being a mediocre writer, I'm also a mediocre fantasy artist . I've been drawing for the better part of eight years, and earn me keep as a freelance graphic designer. So hopefully I'll be able to help people with cover-designs and what not. Love...

Hello all, I thought this might be a good place to introduce myself as it's a little more fun then a intro forum (will probably pop in there too). I write under the psyeudnym Allen V. Cortez and am currently in the process of building up a website devoted to the world I'm working on: Etheros...

Hello, this is my first post so: Hello :). I'm a graphic designer and I'd be happy to give you some pointers. What program are you using?
