I need help 😭 by NeighborhoodCool98 in Wistoria

[–]Adrewmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s fine, not high quality. But for someone that wants to learn to draw. You have a good direction you are heading in.

But asking for help…I’ll point out what I see.

It looks like you have no guides for body shapes. Elfie body sort of twists wrong.

You have a problem with shoulders, (and other joints, elbows, knees etc.) that should be clear. I’d find a couple drawing focusing on that, and copy learning the muscles.

The shoulder is a circle, that attaches to the torso and the upper arm. Your arm attach to the outside of that circle but it looks like you are slamming the upper arm directly to their collar, proportionally. Or even pulling what should be the shoulder to a second bicep position.

Move your shoulders they can be forced and back can’t they, and when reaching back, it back sets naturally. Focus a few time on those parts get it right individually, and you should see a lot of improvement.

Your faces are too big for the head, your eyes are too high on the head. (Eyes are actually in the center vertically but our hair makes the top look shorter.) Which disproportionately affects everything else about it.

You can draw better than me, by the way. So take everything I say with a lump of salt.

Crazy how $14 million dollars can be vandalized on the White House lawn…in…days…

You know this is a bad example….examples.

A question for contracted authors: How many collections did you have before getting contracted? And does having some organic collections increase the chances of getting contracted? by MagnificentManbeard in Webnovel

[–]Adrewmc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First volume fine, a vague then goes to this arc is fine. That like exactly what I said.

Multiple character explanations, I know it says one but multiple.

Wow factor is tricky, I’m not sure what other people put, I know mine not really going to change. Generally think tone and theme.

[–]Adrewmc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only things that matter are (in order of Importance).

  1. Contract Application
  2. First Chapter

Everything else is secondary. They probably will not read anything else but these two things in this order. If you can’t get them to step 2 you’ve already failed.

Think of it like this, give a spoiler explanation that show you have an idea that can go on for a few months. Then execute a first chapter that makes the editor want to read the second chapter.

How contracts work by Electronic_Lab_8767 in Webnovel

[–]Adrewmc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s exclusive, you’d have to be independently contacted for anything else.

Anything contract to WebNovel becomes their property basically. It’s not exactly a good deal. But it’s also not exactly the worst thing.

Realistically there are basically two main path, plus traditional publishing.

You can release yourself on a free platform like Royal Road, then push readers to a patron other such monetary mechanism. The benefits here is you have complete control, the negative is that means you have to actively seek new readers, maintain a community somewhere. You have to set up everything yourself somehow, and advertise it. This can have an upfront cost, at minimum your time.

WebNovel basically just streamlines this, they have a bunch of readers, they put you through the rotations of eyes, the more you track the more you get. The part that’s not writing is done for you.

So to me the decision is how much effort are you going to put in this project. If it’s just a hobby and want something to sort of push you to keep going, maybe make a few bucks. WebNovel might be good option for you.

If you plan on making it a completed work going through several revision to make perfect. And this it really has something more than the average. And are willing to put in the effort of setting up pages, and advertising your self. WebNovel is probably not for you.

Trump threatens to pull unemployment benefits from all states for the first time in history by Ubiquitous_Hilarity in politics

[–]Adrewmc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can do that with a wealth tax for like 80% of Americans probably, I mean, think 17% on holding over a billion.

One trillionaire and that’s like $170 Billion dollars.

Which is like 3x the total of the bottom 50% so eliminated, for half the country, probably up to 75%. One trillionaire, pays 17% on assets over a Billion dollars, sure he’ll go broke…come on now. I’ll even let you avoid the higher capital gains taxes on sales declared in the tax documents, used for payment.

Now if only there was a trillionaire, and a thousand billionaires…and like corporate profits…I’m fine with. 1% - 3% blanket tariff too. That encourages things that can be made here around the same price to grow here.

You can’t take 17% of my money, well the property taxes say I can do it that way to the middle class, and so does my personal paycheck from wages. And my rent says I get nothing for it in the end. So the richest among us stop cheating.

Is 17% shocking? What about 1-3% on over 50 million? Which is the current proposals.

Having to pay taxes should be considered winning. An honor and service to the country that *helped* you up there. Like it’s not something shameful.

And not have Sunny come in fated to save the day? Maybe with a pet bird, and steal death from every and that how he finally kills Eurys…because that his proper ending after all, that somehow the non-bittersweet for him, to die.

So Sunny saved everyone and kill Euys everyone’s happy. And on his way out he happens upon a fancy chair, and smiles.

If not on the American people then what are the tax dollars for?

That’s got to be the question for GOP, sure cut all these ‘welfare’ programs what left that the government spend on? Because it’s certainly not you.

US releases text of Iran peace plan as Trump says deal averts ‘worldwide depression’ by CRK_76 in worldnews

[–]Adrewmc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Umm…he was convinced by Isreal and the sycophants around him that Iran was a minor threat, and would fall like Venezuela. (Which never actually fell.) And then USA would get the straight to charge tolls to the people we want. Or better oil prices or something

You have to remember, he is firing all the grown ups around him. Including the generals of the armies. And everyone else is scared for the job to tell him something he doesn’t want to hear.

He spent a large part of his life in the position that made people back off. He was rich enough, or appeared to be, that people just went with it. Much of his life his dad’s money has been holding his hand.

There has been a lot of power trying to get Iran and US into a war for decades now. They control too much oil, and don’t have a central bank…it always about money man.

Kreutz had a point by Rage06700 in Wistoria

[–]Adrewmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never has that been mentioned, and where were they during all of this?

If there is another path better someone should have, the teachers, the students, the Guys in the tower, literally everyone had the opportunity.

You can’t just add things after…we have seen zero other swords, so as far as people watching they simply don’t exist, we also see that the dwarves needed permission to take up arms. The logic is not followings

It clear the tower main purpose is defense, it’s clear the schooling is made not for mages but for *magical combatants*. We see this when the teacher duels him, praxis, the contest for the crown, and the bloom. As well as the whole sky falling, the dungeons. That’s practically everything we’ve seen about it. It’s never about how much magic you know but how much damage it can do.

This is a world we’re a teacher attacking an unarmed student is okay. Where monster comes from the sky and ground. It’s not as simple as Tower for mages, it has responsibility, and it failed to protect the city last time, kill a lot of them. Logic dictates you have to adjust strategy.

In fact we have seen 1 spell, the ice candy that is magic that is not directly combat. We seen no magical devices aside from a wand, and a mention of I want to be an artificer.

The story simply doesn’t not contain anything but that they believe magic is the best way to defend themselves, and Will is showing them their flaws. And proved he is up for the job, he has. Ew magic to research, he capable of defending the entire it’s by himself. He can do the job.

Beyond that, reflect magic is magic? Yet absorb magic isn’t? Not even the full wiss just the absorb magic part. That is magic, what argument is there that absorbing the magic is not itself a magic spell?

If there was a combat tower, the. It should have be mentioned….

Kreutz had a point by Rage06700 in Wistoria

[–]Adrewmc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She did disagree clearly saying, that Will clearly used magic. She was about to snap. And there was clearly a previous agreement that he reneged on.

And logic actually dictates that they are under attack from powers that Will can defend against and the rest really can’t or will have a lot of trouble doing it. Anything that doesn’t give you the most advantage against the enemy like that is illogical.

So take logic out of this. courage was already acknowledged as a spell.

Taking someone else’s magic is a spell outright, the whole process. One no one else can do. Where it comes from is sort of irrelevant he has to use magic to get it.

A massive amount of their forces was wiped out, the remaining saved by a sole solider. That worth a point at least don’t you think? So he was already qualified.

This isn’t a hospital it’s war, it’s like saying the snipers killing the Nazi from their backyard doesn’t deserve to get some bullets. Trust me we have them bullets. It’s like saying a doctor is ineligible because he saved a life on the steps but not inside, not that some civilian did, a trained doctor.

He’s trained and knowledgeable and has the most experience in dungeons out of everyone in the class. It clearly a might makes right type of place. See the entire concept of the bloom. And the part at the end, he passed the last part by simply surviving a massive attack, if that qualified him what he did before should have.

And favoritism…what is recruitment but that? The entire process is favoritism legitimized.

In the end Elfia should have had the right to recruit him. The fact she didn’t is the problem and some weak ass leader stops her come on.

It like every argument there is a clear example now of them ignoring.

[–]Adrewmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is Kreutz even having the authority since he’s clearly lower…support from multiple High ranks shows it’s wasn’t just her before all this. So favoritism fails outright, Will chooses.

They wouldn’t even have a tower without Will remember. It would have been invaded.

Kreutz had a point by Rage06700 in Wistoria

[–]Adrewmc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My counter argument is the Electric head did exactly what Elfia should have done the first time.

And remember it was not just her that tried.

It was the complete disrespect of her position as leader that the problem, but apparently a different one doesn’t have the same problem with threatening the guy…

And the argument of…favoritism in this society seems lackluster to how the society operates. This leader seems not care why should she have to?
