So for my gifs i download scene packs of the characters and stick them onto a capcut, using procreate to design my writing and fonts and styles for that, then i export them as videos (no longer than 3 seconds!) and then just chook the videos onto a vid to gif converter for free on a website on google (lmk if you want the link). My pictures for the vampire faces i just pull an image i like of a vampire with the same haircolour as my character and use an ai face swapper, then save that image and import it into picsart, place the original image over the top and erase all but the vampire effects (eg, the fangs, the eye veins), then to get the eyes i use a black gradient sticker on picsart and erase it to the shape of the eye and adjust the opacity. And for the red parts i just use a basic red eye sticker and wack that on there and edit the colour. For writing tips, you always want to proof read EVERYTHING. Sometimes theres small mistakes that you wont catch so reading through just helps to get those before you publish. I like to do a basic plan, write a shitty first draft to get the general chapter idea and then ill tend to go through and make my draft text red (in word) and rewrite the entire chapter in better quality. I also like to use chat gpt to remember things for me, so ill give chat GPT my characters background and basic info about the story and then just ask questions about things i forgot because chatgpt has a memory tool that stores all your ideas. For covers I use posters from the originals shows abd just edit them to include my characters if you look at the ‘Oaths of Oblivion’ cover, that is pretty much the same as some of the originals posters that are officially released. Same with my Vows of Vengeance cover, thats inspired by a tvd s3 poster. If you have any other questions don’t hesitate to ask
