Though the slightest swipe of a bearyena's claw Will render us bleeding and dead upon the ground, We are strong in other ways. The Gods may send their storms, their rogues, Their cold-hearted birds-- But we will not give up. Every time we fall, Every time we fail, we will get back up. We are made of glass, of china-- Of every breakable, fragile thing. Throw us on the ground and we will surely be forgotten. But a fragile thing that is loved can last forever. We are made of porcelain. What is wrong with that? Heyyy imma try to do a playthrough with dialogue and a good storyline kinda like what Silver is doing...kudos I love your story XD Okay I'll come back to this5 points

this isn't niche fanart but I put it here because this is how I did the galaxy for this if you have any questions, ask away! 1. with a very big pen tool, put down a load of coloured circles. put just pinks purples and blues if you want a less colourful galaxy, but I put down a lot of reds and greens so mine's gonna look a lot more colourful. remember, the range of colours you chose really matters here. also, dont do any yellows ,or greens with no added blue, here because those come later. you can also leave some white spaces too it wont matter 2. click on "filter" at the top and then on "gaussian blur", then slide it until you get this effect. you can blur it more or less if you want to, its basically all subjective as to what you think looks good/ suits the rest of the drawing 3. then you're gonna find the "star" "star 2" and "star 3" brushes and use those. firstly I took star 3, set the colour and hue jitter to about 50, and just randomly put some stars in the background- because these stars are a lot of different colours, you should make them quite big and put the opacity down. just mess around with the brush settings until you get something that looks a bit like this: 4. with the other two star brushes, just add in some more stars. make sure when you get these you put the colour and hue jitter to zero! I make one type of star white, and the other type of star slightly yellow just to add some variation. tip: make little clusters of stars and put a lot more there, but also try not to put too many in one spot! just try not to make everything spread evenly. also, you should change the opacity of the stars and lower the multicoloured ones the most, then the yellow ones should be the second least opaque, and the white ones should only be put down to about 85%. this is what I got after some fiddling around: 5. now, get an airbrush, make it quite big, and just randomly airbrush splotches of similar colours you used at the start over everything on a new layer to make it a bit more colourful. this is where you can go crazy and add some yellows and greens and reds to the mix too. when you're done, put on a gaussian blur again (but not as strong as the first one, only to like 9 or 10 and adjust the opacity to what looks right. then you're done! also: if you want to add characters in, put them under the airbrush layer so they look integrated into the background, heres a comparison using a random stick figure with some lovely makeup4 points

(AAAAH I love that book but I already named him beforehand. You can name the next babu though) Glass finally hears her calls and comes running to find her K.O.'d. Childbirth was hard on her. "China, wake up." Glass shakes her gently. The slightest twinge of worry for his mate grips him. "Oh Glass...you came..." China wakes up and lifts her head to look up at him weakly. "Look at our son." She brushes away her feathered tail to reveal the beautiful green-and-white kit. Atop his head are his mother's antennae; the gift of a Future. "He's so beautiful, just like you," Glass smiles at his mate. China smiles back. "What should we name him?" China murmurs, gently licking her child's soft white mane. "Ceramic," Glass replies. "Perfect," China breathes a sigh of happiness. The two curl up together and sleep after a long day of acorn picking and giving birth.3 points

I feel like we should have a section for the forums themselves. "What does that mean?" you are most likely asking. Well, you know how in the Niche section, there is a bug section, and a future requests section? I feel like we should have those sections for the actual forums, not just the games. Because there are some bugs on the actual forums. And it's always nice to improve the forums, so a future request section would be nice! (custom fonts, etc.) Ya. I'm pretty sure someone suggested this in the depths of some topic before, but of course it didn't get too far off the ground...3 points

Ceramic, surprised by his mother's sudden harshness, drops his belly to the ground. He covers his eyes with his long feathered tail and starts to whimper. "Silence!" China hisses. "Be very quiet..." She hears someone coming through the grass. Swish, swish. She whips around to find only Talenel. But the eerie feeling still remains. "There's danger coming," China whispers. She pulls Ceramic close to her, and he quietly buries himself in her fur and feathers. "What? I don't smell or hear--or see--anything." Suddenly a strange nicheling pops out of the grass, screaming. "YEBEARA! BEARILLA! YENABR! BEARYENA!!!" Glass is still by his tree, waiting for Ceramic and China to come home when he sees a little brown bearyena cub prowling in the shadows. It couldn't be without a mother to protect it. Glass' stomach drops. "China!! Ceramic, where are you!?"2 points
