Does anyone want to do an art/short story trade with me? Since I am not great at art, I thought it might be a good idea if in return I wrote a short story about any of your characters. It would be around 500 words, depending on the story.
If you want to trade with me, can you please give me a short list of characters, their personalities, a conflict, and any other things you want me to include? Please don’t make it too complicate because this is a SHORT story, not an actual book.
It will probably take me time to write your story, so please don’t expect to get it right away.
🙂
OOOH, I'd LOVE to do this!!!!!!
Yay! Can you do my OC Foxcloud from Wanted Herd RP?
Here is her description and picture:
Red dun mare with dark blue eyes, curly black mane and tail, white stockings, a blaze, and orange feathers tipped white
What characters do you want in your short story and what do you want the conflict to be? The more details, the better!
@Morningmist Will do!! hmm, I'll need to think about the story... ooh! Maybe Sablestone having a dream after his and Mistfeather's fight? You can include any of my OCs that he's interacted with, and you can choose what it's about. If that's too hard, I can give you another one.
@Riverglade I can do that!
This would be fun!
Do you want to join? 🙂
Sure!
Can you do my OC Silverthorn?
Here is her description and picture:
Dappled silver pinto with dark blue eyes, curly black mane and tail with amber highlights, and silver wings.
Can you tell me what you want in your short story? The characters, the conflict, and other details you want me to include?
Can I join?
Of course! Let me get one of my OCs for you to draw.
Okay, can you do my OC Firethorn?
Here is his description and picture:
Red roan with blue eyes, black mane and tail, white stockings, and orange feathers tipped in dark red.
(In this picture, Firethorn looks more like an Appaloosa horse, but he is really a Strawberry Roan, this is just the closest I could get)
Can you tell me the characters, conflict, and other details you want in your short story?
May I join?? I already have a story idea, and if you want to write about a wildfire then you may like mine!! XD and if you want I can give you multiple OCs and I can draw multiple of yours unless you only want one of your OCs drawn.
Also warning, I don't draw full bodies unless it is for an art challenge, if you want an example you can look at the October challenge from Skysun, that outline is the one I use for mostly all of my drawings.... but it's freehand so it changes from drawing to drawing, just the same base idea!!
@Echolake You can join! I am fine writing about wildfires, but I would like it to be related to the guardian herd world. If you want you can do a headshot. Can you tell me more about the story you want? I am going to find someone for you to draw.
Can you do my OC Tealflame? Here is his description and picture:
Silver colt with green eyes, light blue mane and tail with a streak of light green, and light blue feathers tipped in light green.
Could I join?
Sure! Let me find you an OC to draw, and you can tell me what you want your story to be. The characters, plot, setting, and any other details you want me to include.
Can you do my OC Neela? She is from Domination RP, so she is a little strangely colored, if you want I can give you someone else.
Here is her description and picture:
Peachy colored mare with light pink swirls, dark pink spots, teal eyes, black mane and tail, and dark pink feathers.
@Morningmist Cool! I'll get started on her right away. For a story, my black filly OC Moon. She's about 1. She doesn't have starfire. General plot is that she's ostracized for being a black foal. She eventually finds peace when she goes to the Golden Meadow. (Just so it doesn't sound more morbid than it is, her guardian herd is Desert Herd. She manages to fly high enough to reach the Golden Meadow. Though once she steps foot there, she can't leave and is essentially dead.)
Ok my mane OC is Rosewynd she’s a buckskin filly with a long strip on nose she has two white socks in front and two black socks in back, bid golden eyes.bright yellow wings with magenta tips. she’s sweet and tender hearted but she is not afraid to speak her min. She loves to explore and is very determined. Her best friends name is Sapphire she’s a silver dapple filly with a black mane and tail, and a strange white star. Hot pink wings. She’s shy and very laid back. She wants to be a medicine mare. Her brother is Summerbreeze he’s a palomino yearling with hazel wings. Athletic, and handsome.
@MeadowleafUmm.... I wasn’t going to draw your character for you, I was going to make a short story. Can you tell me what characters, conflict, and other details you want in your story? Rosewind can be one of them.
i know you arnt going to draw them XD! i just thought you might want disriptions.....
Can you tell me the plot of the story you want?
Yep. I think. some evil stallions from mountain herd capture Sapphire, Summerbreeze, Rosewynd and Lightsong(Sapphires twin) and take them where Nobody knows. i don’t really want Sapphire, Summerbreeze, Rosewind, or Lightsong to die..... but you can make one of threscuers die if you want.... you can also add some caracters if they are yours. Their age is weanling
@Meadowleaf I finished your story! Here is the link:

OOOOH!! THIS SOUNDS FUN!! Is it possible to join in on this?
Yes! I will have to think of someone for you to draw... Meanwhile, you can tell me the character, conflict, and other details you want in your short story.
@Morningmist Hmm...I'll have to think about that. I'll let you know later today!!
@Skysun Okay. I won’t explain this scene too much, because it would be a big spoiler. Basically, I want you to draw Star and Morningmist with a background full of stars. I can explain where they are if you want, it is a place that I have developed in my imagination called the “Starry Place” where time doesn’t exist. It is kind of an in between place, where dead can talk to the living. Using doll divine, and making my figures very small, I was able to do an example for you, but it is very bad quality because the figures are so small.
Here is Morningmist’s description:
Morningmist:
Peachy colored mare with green eyes, light brown mane and tail with a black streak running through it, aqua feathers tipped in black, a blaze, black stockings, and four white socks.
Hopefully, you already know what Star looks like. XD.
Is it to late for me to do this??
Uh....
Sorry! I didn’t see this earlier. Of course you can join! Let me find an OC for you to draw. What do you want in your story? Conflict? Characters?
@Morningmist Hmm...let me think about it and I'll tell you
@Stormsun Can you draw my new OC Sunstar? Here is her picture and a description-
Sunstar: White mare with dark brown eyes, yellow mane and tail, and light pink feathers, and wings outlined in white (base of the wing is white)
