Hello my munchkins! How have you all been? Man, I really hate having a laptop that's half dead. I'll be opening up commission slots here soon to help up my funds for replacing this old one of mine.
But, in the mean time, I have been steadily working on what now has become a middle grade book, these past months. I had to up the age of my two main characters given what they are now faced with in the world created for them. I will be sharing all that I can with you lovely people...I'm working on a blog for it that will feature maps, characters designs and profiles, city profiles, the language of the world, short fairytale stories and so much more. All that is still a work in progress, but I have the banner for the front sketched out and ready to colour. I'm aiming for the end of March or April to have it up...so I'll just cross my fingers in hopes that I'll meet that deadline....if my laptop holds out.
Anyway, this is one of the characters from the story. I'm not going to reveal her name though, as it gives away too soon what the story is all about, but, for now she'll be known as the Gilded Lady. She's a very essential part of the book and she won't actually been seen until the end. Her gold bonnet there, (those aren't horns on her head. *winks*) though holds a clue to what she is though, and she's not exactly human. Okay, my lips are sealed for the rest of it though. *Evil laugh*
She's done in my usual way, watercolour pencils, used dry, sepia coloured inks and a little clean up editing done in Coral DRAW. She took a fair amount of time to complete though, as I was doing the Christmas rush where I work, which took all my energy and left me super lazy after. *laughs*
On a side note, I've moved my giveaway to next month, seeing that I missed The Our World Our Art blog even because of my failing laptop. *sigh* Ah well, there will be other events to attend right? Yay!
So, that's all for now my luvies. I was wondering though, I have part of a short story written out and I would love to share part of it with all of you, so I can have a feeling for how my writing practice is coming along. Would you guys like if I posted it here for you all to read?
Wishing you all a happy, wonderful and creative week! Cheers!
