I was planning on dm'ing you this answer, but when I couldn't upvote I realised how late I am. The tension as thick as a gelatinous cube. And I think that Cynlock would be in the green splinter, and his grandfather Hu'Ra'Kal would be in the red or maybe black splinter, giving two options because of your mention of his sinister plans.
I hope I'm not being too critical here, but I have noticed a good number of spelling and grammar errors in your stories, if you would like an assist with your future additions to the storyline I'd be happy to help. As for your pictures, again not meaning to be too critical but rather constructive, I'd thought of two things that might help you improve, granted they may not be feasible for you with where you are in life.
1: A little more time to even things out and make them more symmetrical when they should be, and/or a different method of applying color to even out and help with symmetry ie: instead of using tip of marker when filling in larger areas tip it on side so you're using the side of the tip which covers a wider area in the same stroke.
2: Make a quick rough sketch/outline which you can use to layout your ideas before making them more finalized and permanent, which you can either draw over the top adding a layer to your art, or use as a template or guide and continue your picture on a second paper.
Thanks again for your time and imagination in making this story and art, I look forward to the next installment. And I hope my input is helpful, it seems you have more inspiration than I do which is my biggest hangup as an artist.
Thank you for the constructive criticism, and I also notice many errors looking back at my posts too. Even since you have posted this I have noticed and corrected various errors (there are likely a few I'm not seeing). I do it a bit rushed, I usually don't have time to really edit them the way I want until a week or too later due to my day job. Or I don't even necessarily have the time to put everything the way I would like in one go. if you have been checking previous posts you'll notice almost all of them have various edits over time. I appreciate any attention to grammar errors, and your criticism. I tried painting it this time, my markers have run dry. I am not the best painter and definitely appreciate any input. If anything jumps out to you you can always message me in discord or here. I definitely appreciate the time and effort you put in to this reply. I am certain you are a better artist than I regardless of inspiration. As you no doubt can tell, I don't draft due to time constraints. And I must admit it lowers the quality of my work. I just want to put something out there every week for all of you, even if it has a few errors. Thanks so much. And definitely check back on the stories in about a week, I've fixed various errors but haven't gone over every story yet. I have a small vacation from work and will finally have time to go over everything, if you want to assist in proofreading just DM me. No comment is too critical, it's what the comment button is there for. I'm just honored you have actually read it. Most people don't read the stories aside from me coming back to edit them when I have time.
Cool, I'm glad you didn't take it as being harsh, so many people are too sensitive anymore that they can't accept what is intended to be helpful. And yeah I figured time was probably a hold up for you, which I understand, not long ago I was a robot with no personal time. Being at a large corporation was really my final straw, crazy timing with Splinterlands blowing up really, so I've got plenty of free time so to speak. I'll do what I can to help with error correction to help you convey your story, I appreciate your willingness to have it. Granted I can get sidetracked and with so much I'm trying to do with crypto, splinterlands, and so much I've been learning I'm not always the quickest to respond, but when I can I will. Take care and will talk again soonish xD
Oh, and thank you for the thought about my artistic abilities, one of these days I'll either come up with something or find something, most likely the former due to circumstance, and then we'll see how your opinion fairs :D
