Try changing the way you draw. Instead of using lines, try using colour instead. Block out the main shapes in one colour and then use other colours to build up detail. Be free with how you draw and let it happen. Also, look for images of architecture that you like and use them for inspiration...

If it's Mediterranean, and you want food, then oranges or pears would fit the bill. Otherwise, you could have some tubers or root vegetables, but they might need cooking. Peaches or melons would also work. Hope this helps.

Pure physical description is usually dull and something that I struggle with. As I'm learning, it's usually better to describe the feelings of the character, because that is what readers care about, as much as action. EG Kanon raced through the trees, enjoying the feel of the wind in his hair...

I'm writing a story about a Martial Artist who enters brutal cage fights after a friend of his is injured in one of the fights and left in a coma. He is fighting to stop the matches and get revenge against the man who hurt his friend, as well as stopping anyone else from getting hurt. He has to...

It's an interesting concept, and bold, too. The more empheral, unseen things are very powerful. It reminds me of the concept of Luck, which only works if it is not invoked. As soon as you mention luck, it fades away. It should make a good basis for your story.

Very detailed and thorough. You seem to have enough detail there to give you an overview of what has gone before. If this is just for your own reference and to use as a guide for your writing, then it's fine. If this is going to go in your narrative, then it would be better in prose. Maybe...

I have a friend who is struggling with Writer's block. Specifically, he feels that he cannot write anything without looking at other people's work and using it as a guide for his narrative writing. I tell him this is normal and perfectly acceptable, but he has a hard time accepting it, feeling...

Consider looking at Final Fantasy XIII for some inspiration. They have Chaos as a force that warps reality and 'Gods' that brand humans with sigils that grant them power. It might be of some use to you.

Very interesting. I don't see anything that I would criticise. I like your description of the humans and the Wildmen are good characters. What is the premise of your story?

You'll need to introduce the styxslither through other characters reactions and experiences. Maybe start with someone, a wandering ranger, getting eaten by one. Your description is okay, but maybe too physical. Descriptions should leave it to the reader's imagination, focusing more on sounds...

It seems very well-thought out and professional, with enough detail. How much of this will feature in your story?

Consider researching demons from mythology and using them for inspiration, especially Chinese and Japanese mythology. Otherwise, give them aspects of human nature such as greed, jealousy, fear, or anger. Just treat them as you would other characters and make them flawed, just on a much bigger...

Maybe Asir's could be wise or clear-thinking, Enir positive and upbeat, Nagiru's could be empathetic and peacemakers, Azag's could be sharp-tongued but incisive, Eqlum nurturing and ambitious, Urbat grim and considered a bad omen and Essuru dreamers with high ideals.

Magic should be limited by Damashi, the power of the spirit and should stem from confidence, like the Green Lanterns. The more confidant the users, the greater the power, but pride has it's own downfalls. Someone who's too prideful could be consumed by his own magic or fall to the 'dark side' or...

Your idea makes me think of the fal'cie from Final Fantasy XIII, powerful, extra-dimensional beings that chose humans to become their servants, called l'Cie. L'Cie are given a Focus to complete and, if they do, they transform into crystal and gain a form of eternal life. If they fail, they...
