Welcome to the third C.C I haven't made one in a long time so since you won't have new content for some time I figured that it would have been nice to do
Well I don't have any more main characters left to analyze so I figured I could tell you about the possessors of cards that showed in the chapter "Royal affairs", but after thinking about it I decided to keep them a secret until I feel like it...
So first let's start with the state of this series
I as an author was very excited to reach this point of the story and finally end the first act, I never anticipated that my series would reach 1k views on Meganovel and 500+ views on Tapas, I appreciate everyone that gave my stuff a read and I'm very glad about the milestone we reached
This year I'm looking toward making this series even better by improving the writing, the characters, the arcs, and many other things my series lack right now, and I will also strive to make the series more well-known and make more people fan of this series, but we still have a long way before achieving that, plus one thing I want to tell to my readers is to try to locate a symbolism or foreshadowing because I really like to spoil my readers without even noticing, mark my words when the story comes close to completion you will see what I mean
Today let's talk about the main sources of inspiration I take when I'm creating Teras or any other series I have been working on.
A basic source I use is music, even if it sounds complicated the melody or even the lyrics of the music I listen to gives me inspiration about characters and the plot itself, I recently started showing it with references and titles or even dialogue, and I wasn't so sure how everyone would have felt about that so I tried keeping this form of inspiration hidden, my favorite artists are:
Kendrick Lamar
J. Cole
Joey Bada$$
MF DOOM
Kanye West
My favorite album: To Pimp A Butterfly (An acoustic masterpiece of our times)
Another thing that inspires me is art, classical art from the renaissance or even random pieces of art I see on the internet can often inspire me to create characters or a theme that match the paintings, some of my favorite art pieces are
"The creation of Adam"
"Saturn devouring his son"
"The fallen angel"
and others I can't remember right now (I know they are basic, but am a hobbyist to art so I hope that explains it, plus I was never the type to remember by name something I like) , but besides paintings I also find myself getting inspired by manga or comic series I'm reading or had read
Now one of the most well-spread and obvious sources of inspiration is, movies/series, I'm a sucker for good storytelling, and movies and series are the easiest way for me to entertain myself, and by consuming this much of this media I found myself mimicking or taking ideas from there, intentionally or not
That's basically everything, I have nothing else to add, hopefully, I get a bigger audience so I can do a Q&A or something
But before I go I will do another thing
Teras: character's Xmas gifts
Teras-> An eyepatch (from Tokkou[ He will look good with one] he claims) and metal augmented gloves (From Recka) a hair band (From Becka)
Tokkou-> Socks (From Becka) A teapot(From Teras) nothing( from Recka)
Becka-> Black heels (From Tokkou) a hug (probably) (Teras), A new pair of glasses (from Recka)
Recka -> A dress(From Becka) An hourglass (From Tokkou), A statue of him and her (From Teras[He tried to curve them with wood])
Lia, Cara, Har->…
Rex-> A sack with 5 gold coins (From Tokkou) A tough-made shirt (From Uncle Jem)
Uncle Jem-> A sack with 10 gold(From Tokkou) A cool rock (From Rex)
May this year be a great one for everyone! And I hope everything goes well with everything for everyone...
