    How to: In-character books

    I’ve been asked many times on how to craft an In-character book. I am not someone with the tenancy to write a book, but over the years I managed to fill over a hundred pages with Elrian’s thoughts, stories and songs. So, if you are looking to start your own in-character diary, or spellbook, or […]

  • Fairy Faces

    Elrian met some Fairies and she remembers their faces- in her diary.

  • Calligraphy Practice

    There is this beautiful way to write English in a writing system suitable for an East Asian character. It’s called square word Calligraphy.

    I started Elrian’s Diary in summer 2011, continuously documenting my Larp character’s adventures. After four years and 70 pages it is now halfway complete. Here is the working process of a recent page. After sketching the content of the page – which I often do while in-character – I rewrite the text and outline the illustration in […]

  • Elrian’s Diary

    Elrian’s diary is a project I started two years ago, and its original purpose was to collect  plot information the character acquired during role play conventions. But after while I started to put in personal stuff that went through my characters head. Its purpose is now to collect both information about plot (which will be […]
