Looking for some feedback and thoughts. So I decided to cross post this with the journal entry on my deviant art page.
So unfortunately I've hit the wall where I feel like I'm just doing what someone else is doing and I need to write/draw something that is more 'my own.' Yeah yeah I know 'there are no original ideas on the internet.' blah blah blah. But I still.. /feel/ that way. So in the effort to come up with something that is more 'mine' and not some 'inspired' work I've come up with two ideas.
Idea the first!
Title: A Change in Princess.
Synopsis: In a kingdom somewhere, there was a fair king who was once married to a beautiful, but wicked woman. Who died when she gave birth to a daughter who was as wicked as her mother, with none of her beauty. Enter the protaganist a young boy who was raised as a servant in the castle, and the only child of similar age within its walls. When the princess turns to stone on the eve of her 16th birthday, due to a curse handed down from her mother, the boy is enlisted in covering up the truth until a cure could be found. It starts out as crossdressing, but as the days go by, changes begin to happen.... he becomes more feminine, and the truth of his parentage soon becomes a factor.
Status: Part of chapter 1 is written, stalled due to changing ideas and concerns about the handling of the 'evil' princess.
Idea the second!
Title: (wip) Elemental Academy
Synopsis: The protaganist was just accepted into a prestigous magical academy! All he has to do now is perform the 'awakening' ceremony to reveal his affinity and alter self! Imagine his shock to find his Elemental self is female! Worse yet, the awakening always triggers changes in his 'resting' state.. now SHE has a whole new set of problems to deal with on top of her studies, magical duels, mysterious happenings, and oh dear god.. shopping!
Status: Mostly just a thought chart right now.
I could write either of these.. but I'm also toying with drawing them.. I know my art style leaves much to be desired, but its still an option.
so thoughts? (also is this the right place to post this?)
