Smells?! Thats a rather strange question. Um...I dunno....good food I guess? Yeah, has to be. The smell of good food is bound to draw this Singaporean in.

What do you like most about using magic?

Its actually quite interesting...good job!

These are really nice! Your art style is really nice, and just makes the OC's attitudes stand out, which is really cool.

A CEO is the head of a company, it stands for Chief Executive Officer. They run the day to day. I prefer tea. *whispers something about British and Chinese influence* What? Well, I dont know really. I have stomached the hottest chillis in the world but it may be too much for me.

I am willing to help you if you want. I am often extremely busy, but I can try to offer my advice and do quick proofreading of the stories if you want. Dont worry, my first language is British English, so it will work.

All of your art is looking spectacular! I might look to ask for a request one of these days, when I can decide what to ask

Just thought I would put up a thread and just show some art as and when I can make them. Im not an artist, but just am doing this for fun. For now, this is my second try ever in digital drawing that I just finished;

Um......shipping...? *blushes* Hm? Oh, I dont have one. Private military, so I am a CEO. If you want to know, I was a Junior Lieutenant in the Royal Guard before I left.

A suspenseful thriller? Now that I would love to see. The idea is a little stretched by modern media, but its a workable idea. The important part is drawing out the characters. I would say that it is the most important part of such a story. Working out the chemistry between the ponies is vital, and the incidents are to pitch them against one another. And just like everyone else, this is Equestria. The ridiculous is possible. Dont let it detract from the core but its possible to do something real weird. I mean, like the trains were stopped because of sheep in Season 5 so anything is possible. It sure is a setting for a riveting story though, I like it a lot.

Hello and welcome to the forums! It is a nice place to be, so dont worry. And if you are scared, dont worry. Plenty of people here are willing to help you on your way. PM me if you want to talk to anyone.

Slice of life things are perfectly fine. But without the major antagonistic factions or individuals, there has to be situations that provide interest. People dont want to read of somepony's daily grind of getting coffee and going to work. What I would recommend is to use the story arc to try and show why he thinks that way. Why isnt his intent on using his powers to make a greater difference, or take that power for himself? Many people would use their powers for something. Its a bit iffy at the moment and would be an interesting thing to do. His value system can be used against him. have some times where what is accepted is in contention with what he wants, and he has no ability to do anything about it, or has to make a decision. These sort of challenges test the character and help him grow. A flat character does not develop if he doesnt have a hard time.

Firstly I would say, is to understand what goes into making a good work. What makes a story so riveting you want to stay on to read it page after page? Understanding the tools someone uses will help you write your own. Plans. Dont underestimate the planning stage, but dont go overboard like me(I sometimes write out my first draft as a "plan") lay out characters, trace the story, and then write what comes to your head. Grammar. Minor things shouldnt matter (being a grammar nazi is not needed) but something obviously wrong will ruin the mood, so a proofread is a must.

Hmm...your idea seems rather interesting, but if I would, just offer a little of my opinion. From this perspective, your main character being a protagonist, needs to have something above all the others, but it seems that he is a little too overpowered. A character needs to be a little more down to earth and relatable. In addition to this, it will help in senses of tension to build a climatic scene if he is actually killable. If someone is obviously not killable, its not fun because you can predict the outcome, the protagonist wins. Always. To make it vibrant, he needs to dangle on the edge. If not, then a key weakness. Something that can bring him down, brought in at the peak of a story. That can provide enough of a shock factor to spice things up. Backstories can be used considering his past, but interweave it into the story. Dont chuck a chunk of text introducing him. Weave it in, paragraphs and chapters unveiling more about his storied past. Might I ask what the story is going to be like? It would be very helpful to know what kind of experiences that your protagonist will be going through. It helps set the tone of the story.

That drawing is nice. I should know, trying to do digital art, lets just say my attempts are horrible. I really respect people who dedicate themselves to helping others. And I feel that the best way to respect what they do is to follow in their footsteps. So I help too, depression isnt something to be belittled.
