Void - Chapter I AbiogenesisChapter I: Abiogenesis  No, don't do it! The words echoed inside of her. Everything seemed so distant now. Everything so distant in the past. The screams of people, horrified. The scent of blood around her, on her. On her hands. On her face. What had she done? The question was futile, she knew what she had done. She knew, just like everybody else knew. No, it was in the past. She was changed now, a new person.  
"Identification, please." The electronic voice brought her back to reality. No time to be sentimental. Did she feel guilt?

The Void: PrologueBefore anyone remembers, there was void. The void itself was not a bad void, it was just there. It bridged the gaps between worlds, it was the womb and the grave. When a new world was born, it was born out of the void, when a world died, it returned to it. Therefore, the void was the center of all universes. Since the void itself was able to expand, it could create more possible worlds, all of them connected through the void itself. As time passed, the void did expand, it created more worlds, and as more worlds died,  new ones were born. It passed on like this for aeons.

New stuff

So... I started to work around a new universe that I just call Void. I've uploaded the prologue and am trying to figure out the main plot right now. Do read it, maybe you can help to inspire me to write more!

I feel that my writing has matured a lot over the years and maybe I am finally able to move past the fantasy cliche, well, almost anyway. I usually never move outside the fantasy/horror genres, but I wanted to do something different and in a way this feels different. It's not horror, it's not pure fantasy either given its strong scientific roots. I want it to be cyberpunkish because I've gotten so attached to that genre lately and I have never written anything which can be considered cyberpunk. We'll see how it turns out I suppose.

The best thing to do is observe. Draw a few self-portraits in the position you want your character to be in, and especially watch the angle of your jaw and cheek bones. Don't be afraid to go against your intuition and place the nose level with or even on a higher plane than the eyes depending on what you see. Another good idea might be to imagesearch for what you want, print out the pictures, and outline the features with tracing paper so that you can see where they "really" are before you try and draw it for yourself, and maybe try breaking it down as to what the SKULL is doing before worrying about the features. The problem with strange angles is that they are highly counter intuitive, so you have to shut out everything your brain is telling you to do (because it's all wrong!) and go strictly with what you see.

Hope that helps for you :)

I was using this picture as a reference:

[link]
I really like the positon of the head, and I can get the head just fine with that slightly from the side angle, I just cannot get it seem to look slightly up, like here. I assume it might be something with the eyes, but I tried a few different positions as well as well as the nose, it feels I am missing some sort of line I am not seeing here.

Aaah... well...

You should try using either a photograph or your own face as reference rather than a stylization. It is a nice stylization, but it is not accurate for what you want. This person does not have her chin up. She has her face tilted upwards but her jaw slightly open. Look at the angle on the jaw: it goes down.

It might be hard to see and not 100% accurate,but I redlined these for you to show you a rough idea of where the skull is underneath.
What is more or less actually there:
[link]
Bloated mandible... and really big chin.
[link]

Notice on this little asian boy from google:
[link]
You have a softer angle, but you begin to see the shadow underneath the mandible. You don't see the shadow with the Bleach girl, and it begins to send mixed messages as to what is going on underneath the flesh.
And these random old people:
[link]
The jaws ARE slightly open but they are looking up enough you can begin to see underneath them.

Here they are redlined with rough skulls:
[link]
Notice the difference in angle between Bleach girl and the Old People? Its all based on that shadow underneath the jaw. THAT is how you capture the effect. Its really not easy at all...

Also, it is most helpful to think of the forms of the face in terms of planes and shapes, rather than finessing and stylizing the features. Also try and figure out what the skull is doing underneath the features first.
