Just some Blink & Ruby. They’re siblings, your honor.

Had a great time playing an 12FPS game with @artist-of-obsessions that doubled as set-up for @fablegate ‘s next Ruindall game! Blink was done a frighten!

People really like how I drew the Wolf in this one!
Tea time! Like all true fairy tale characters!
Since the ones with food are a hit with my class, I figured I’d draw some more! We’ve got cakes, cookies, and plenty of tea. I even made the room out of cake, Graham crackers and jam! I find that sweets are just really fun and easy to draw!
I get to draw Ruby and Hansel again! Gretel isn’t shown, but he and Hansel are co-conscious in this scene. (Basically, Gretel is there, but not fronting) This makes the first time I draw Ruby without her riding hood!
We’re at the final five, people!
So for these last five drawings, I wanted to go all out. For this one, I went to time on the oil pastels. Cross hatching worked well in that Kentaro picture, so I did it again here. Mainly in Ruby’s clothes.
I’m really happy with this one. My classmates liked how smoky Wolf looked in the first week, so I brought that look back for this piece. I’m getting the hand of drawing grass too.
March Wrap Up!
Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard 4/5 stars
Started this book in February but finished it in the first week of March. I have a book review up if you want to check it out! Currently reading Cruel Crown the novella bind up. I’m into the characters, but I still found this novel not very original, but it was well written.
Ruby Red by Kerstin Gier 4/5 stars
A great start to a trilogy! It’s about time travel. Loved it! It’s just pretty young, because the main character is 16 and being an adult some of the references were lost on me.
Saga Volume 4 by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples 5/5 stars
It’s Saga, enough said.
I’m at 8 books read this year!
Current reads are:
Cruel Crown by Victoria Aveyard
DEATHNOTE volume 2
A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness

BOOK REVIEW!!
RUBY RED by KERSTIN GIER
4.5/5 stars
I’m very happy with this novel; I have actually never read a time travel book before so I was pleasantly surprised.
This book is about Gwen Shepard who is a part of a time travelling family. In this world you have to have a gene to be able to time travel and in Gwen’s case the gene is passed through the female line. When we meet Gwen she is just the average school girl with a very special cousin. Charlotte is the gene carrier and the family is expecting her to disappear at any moment. She has been preparing her whole life to travel in time. However soon Gwen is feeling dizzy and that is the #1 symptom of those who will soon travel. She keeps the feeling to herself, thinking that it’s impossible that she could be the actual gene carrier. Gwen does travel back in time, but she still keeps it to herself. By the third time she goes back she finally tells her mother Grace. Grace bring her to the temple to meet the de Villier family. No one believes Grace, because of something she did 16 years ago to do with the Chronograph and Lucy (Gwen’s cousin). Lucy we know has disappeared with Paul de Villier and we find out later that they actually stole a chronograph and Grace helped them get away. It is very clear through the book though that Grace is hiding something pretty important. Once Gwen finally proves that she is the gene carrier, by uncontrollably going back in time, she has to meet Count St. Germaine back in time. She goes with Gideon who is the current male time traveller. She meets him, he threatens her and thinks she has some special power. On their way back to the temple they get attacked and Gwen has to save Gideon. Eventually their time is up and they go back home. The next day Gideon picks her up and explains the mission that he is currently on is to get blood from all 12 time travellers since Lucy and Paul stole the other chronograph with all the time traveller blood in it. They have to get all the blood to reveal a secret. However Gideon is having trouble getting blood from Margaret Tilney, Gwen’s great-great grandmother. Gideon has travelled back to meet her, but she specifically requested Gwen come back to see her. They travel back to 1912 a completely random date as to avoid a trap. However they run into Lucy and Paul when they go back to meet with Margaret. Lucy tries to talk to Gwen about Count St. Germaine and warn her about something, but Gideon pulls her away. They go back to the present and the novel ends with Gideon and Gwen kissing. The Epilogue has Lucy and Paul talking about Gwen, but I’m sure we will figure out what they were referring to in the future novels.
Overall I thought it was well written and I’m excited to read the rest of the trilogy.
