silvercat17: Snarf peeking out from behind a wall with a curious look on his face (snarf)
[personal profile] silvercat17
Name: 5 Things Felino Killed and 1 He Didn't
Story: Up at Silvercat's
Colors: Beige #15 (modem), Fade to Grey #5 (rathe-ripe), Kohl #1 (lipstick)
Supplies and Styles: modeling clay (stealthy), pastels (sense-ation, sense of community), chalk, novelty beads, beading wire, glue (You aren't the biggest advocate for working under constraints... The greatest freedom comes through discipline.), canvas, miniature collection, photography, panorama
Word Count: 544
Rating: PG, for animal death, hunting, and blood
Notes: Fun fact! The name thing with the pumabirds is called a noa-name. I'm going to do a write-up on my blog (which cross-posts to my Dreamwidth) about the animals in this. Also keep in mind that an adult Nyji is only 4 to 4.5 feet tall. The Nyji nation Felino is part of separates things by hunter (/ gatherer / warrior) and homemaker (/ farmer / crafter) instead of male and female.

Name: An Anatomy of Tharse
Story: The Year Universe
Colors: Liver Saturation
Styles and Supplies: Saturation, Miniature Collection, Panorama, Cut-Away, Fingerpainting, Graffiti (Three weeks for Dreamwidth), Stain("I have too much respect for the idea of God to make it responsible for such an absurd world." - Georges Duhamel)
Word Count: 1750
Rating: PG
Warnings: Some slavery apologia; Mention of cultural genocide
Summary: Some notes about the structure of Tharsi society, from a Northern Kingdoms perspective.
Notes: Worldbuilding for the Year Universe. Because of how I wouldbuilt Tharse, I knew I had to do this with the Liver list. Originally I was going to do longer pieces as a tapestry, but then decided to do it this way. I've never really done drabbles, or other challenges involving restricting wordcount, so it was kind of an interesting challenge to keep everything to <= 100 words, which is why I put Fingerpainting on it. I thought about trying to do it as Pointillism, too, but I don't think I am there yet.

Note: Fall Out Boy is sort of on the outskirts of my mind palace but that lyric truly slaps.

Mods, could I have a tag for the color "the gold (shipped) standard"?

Notes: *comes swinging in four years later and two days under the wire for the challenge* Hi everyone, I missed you. I have been doing a lot of reworking of original stuff lately, and I'm hoping to pick my colors back up and see if I can get back to writing around here more often with a whole host of new worlds.
Two of these characters are old characters of mine who've been retooled heavily, and I'm hoping at least one of them shows up in a proper universe fic eventually. The third belongs to a friend not on DW, who's given me permission to write him in this little AU that we've talked about, affectionately known as the seaside trio.
