Whispers by the Forest's Edge


An Awoken Fear

Omi had been (semi tickled, but mostly) perplexed about the recent dreams she has of a magnificient beast named Brent.

For a start, never would she have thought of seeing him, a majestic lava-like being, to be dressed so softly in such beautiful white. Suffice to say, and unsurprisingly yet again, she was immediately and completely enamoured by him. As she followed after him through a dreamy field, with little Oolune right by her side, "... gentle giant" was all that she could think of — much like how she always does, during her daily rounds at the forest, each time she catches sight of him.

In the sleep that came after, he seemed to take on a rather strange sight. Just, cloaked in red. Menacing red. There, paired with his towering stature, a memory from her waking past flashed before her eyes, an ominous being that she had once encountered before, thereby leaving her paralyzed and overcomed with fear. Just as she tried retracting her steps, slowly and quietly away, it was far too late since he had already sensed her near; and, well, much like what he would have done, he made several attempts to let her know that he was safe. However, all she could do was take distance and wonder at him from afar... until the forest's leading in her awakening.






Nowadays, something old would stir within her at the sight of the colour, like an echo without a voice.

A Morning's Watch:

Sweet (and sleepy) Oolune accompanying Omi, with dear Hydde joining alongside after. They didn't ask Omi more than what she was comfortable to share, but just gifted her their presence in the midst of her curious ponders... and silly imaginations of a Brent that she wouldn't be afraid by.




The Evening's Pause:

Oolune, Hydde, Fernelescent, Saatar, Eris and Kumiho taking rest. Ira enjoying the forest's stillness and breeze. Omi, as usual, getting caught up and lost in thoughts with the forest's whispers, flows and dream-weavings.






To the eyes that behold,

This is very beautifully

This is very beautifully written, my friend.
It's absolutely amazing) I can't express my admiration in words.
I love your drawings, and I've told you many times that you have a unique approach to drawing and an extraordinary style.
Each one is magnificent in its own way, and it was fascinating to read. It's a pleasure to see you at the Oak today, and I understand that Omi enjoys visiting it.
You were modestly lying under the oak tree, and I joined you.

Welcome to the Endless

Welcome to the Endless Forest. Finally could reach out for you better ^^
It has been lovely to meet you and Omi, your art of Omi is very adorable and beautiful and I love how you have made Omi's horns, very pretty!

I just saw the art you made of all of us sleeping and I remember that day too, it was very cozy to chill and sleep with all of you around each other, it was so cozy that I did took a nap too, hehe. Thank you so much for the lovely art and the writing is well written ´v` I always love to read how others feel and see the forest and how they tell their view of it in writings.

I am so touched by the

I am so touched by the screenshots you took and the art you've made, it's absolutely priceless. I really appreciate the thought and care you put into this and I can tell it comes from a deep place. I'm very honored.

I apologize for any confusion of the pelt situation with Brent, (I need to further explain this on Brent's bio) - Forgive me I have a lot going on sometimes and can't always get to the finer details in things but.

Because Brent wears the giant spell, it can't be casted on so technically Brent isn't able to have the BAN pelt as he normally might. In the end Brent ends up wearing red, white, and sometimes mixed pelts since I'm able to use "the fawn cast" trick.

Red pelt > default, usual (nothing to be wary of)
White pelt or also + flowers + default antlers > He's in a fantastic mood and enjoying everything
Mixed pelt > It's just to express his coat appearance, and not meant to be taken too literally. You're more than allowed to have your character interpret that however they like, and I think it's beautiful that it's turned into such a lovely journey for Omi.

These two are very cute together and I absolutely adore Omi's character. Her background and overall lore is just so heartfelt and quite magical really. I feel like I'm running out of words here, but thank you and I hope to have Brent and Omi interact more, as she is always welcome near any of my characters, including Brent.


Lion, You're always so

Lion,

You're always so encouraging, and I really do appreciate it. Thank you for taking the time to visit, both by the Oak and beyond the forest grounds right here. Omi was delighted when she saw your deer (was that Debbie? heh) by her. The Oak truly is one of Omi's favourite place to be, as she enjoys listening to the songs and conversations that it sometimes expresses through its hums; it makes her feel calm and at peace. We do apologise that we couldn't play much today, but thank you for always accompanying Omi whenever you see her in the forest... : )

Fernelescent,

Thank you for the warm welcome, especially during Omi's arrival in the forest <3 Heh. It definitely took me awhile, since I'm not used to being active or appearing in larger community spaces. I got to say, it's still alittle nerve-wrecking each time ahaha! However, seeing how lovely everyone has been both within and beyond the forest grounds, and also towards Omi, it encourages us to explore alittle bit more than what we may be usually comfortable with. Both Omi and myself thinks fondly of you! It does makes me nervous putting my doodles out there, so know that I deeply appreciate your kind words and in loving Omi as she may be... : ) It was such a surprise, and definitely an extremely cosy one, for Omi to be accompanied by so many of the most dearest forestlings through the day. I'm not much of a doodler, but seeing that inspired me to somehow capture those scenes in drawing. I do apologise for my limited doodling skills though, as I reckon the proportions and looks may come across abit wonky >< wahaha. Once again, thank you. Omi looks forward to having more sleepy moments together — it's one of her favourites to have! Heh.

Oolune,

Thank you for being part of this magic <3

illuminatedBones,

Thank you for stopping by, the kindest words and in your thoughtful sharing : ) Ahhh!! So I just stopped by Brent's bio and, seeing him in his true form, he looks just majestic — even more than I could ever imagine him to be! Oh, noo : ( There's nothing for you to apologise about. Don't ever stress about needing to nor apologise about what you think you should have done more. You did such a fantastic work with Brent. I so appreciate you taking the time to explain and clarify on things. If I could share too, I was worried that Brent might have been confused by Omi's recent interaction... although now it seems more so that Omi and myself got confused, and misunderstood Brent instead ahaha : P The last thing that I'd want to do is to interpret or depict Brent far from the wonder that he already is, so do accept my sincere apologies for having had done so (... also, let me see how Omi may ponder this abit more true to Brent and herself. Heh!). The community space and lores that exists are something I'm learning more about each day; with this also reminding me, to peek into the bios more often than not >< hehe. Thank you for loving Omi, allowing her interact and, at most times, to be right alongside (or should I say underneath, lol!) Brent. Looking forward to creating more memories together ^^

Awh I appreciate your

Awh I appreciate your understanding and wow thank you!! It's absolutely no worries at all! I look forward to seeing them interact as well, he's got a heart of gold in there for sure. And not to worry at all, Brent wasn't confused by any interactions from her! Smiling

And take your time learning about your character, it's all part of the process! I totally get it hehe. c:

illuminatedBones, we

illuminatedBones, we appreciate you and Brent - truly! Especially in (unintendedly >< ahaha) being a part of our random puddle of imaginary ponder, heh. Till we meet again in, and beyond, the forest grounds. Sending much love and light both your way. <3

Loving all of the new

Loving all of the new drawings you've added, adorable!!

Dear Widmung, it was such a

Dear Widmung, it was such a great honour for Omi to have finally met you by the Oak Tree. You carry such a weighted yet serene presence, one that Omi feels great comfort by. Brent truly is quite the magnificient being, and he is also illuminatedBones's deer. I'm not quite sure how to add a link here, but if you look a few comments above, you'll be able to find illuminatedBones' and a link to Brent's page : )

I was just about to share that Omi looks forward to crossing paths with Widmung in the forest again, and... there he is, right by her : ) It may not look as so, but she surely is delighted being able to just be right by Widmung and Hydde.

bluehourscalm, I apologize

bluehourscalm,

I apologize for my late reply, but you're very welcome <3 I can totally understand that new places and new people and a large community places can be a bit intimidating at first, and trying to figure out how to approach it is nerve-wrecking for sure! I'm happy that you have joined to the endless forest and that you have shared your view and your arts/talent with us. I truly enjoy to see new people joining to this community and to the forest, to enjoy and make their imaginations and creativity to shine, to share it with others and enjoy it all together ^^

I'm happy to hear that me and Ferne could give you that positive feelings, I really hope to give new people who come here to have a welcoming feeling. Everyone deserve the warm welcome to the forest.

Don't hesitate to share your mind or yours creativity with us, it is truly inspiring to see different point of views and their feelings through the arts and screenshots. No need to apologize at all for limitations or so, just remember to enjoy what you do and what you are capable of, all of the doodles and arts are great! and when it comes to proportions and anatomy, don't think about those, just go with the flow, with what you feel and see within you art. Every art is beautiful the way it is, no matter if there is some wonkyness or not correct anatomy, it is the enjoyment through the progress and the fact that you have made the art piece. <3
