So I'm doing these cute little images for a to-be author. He wrote a series of poems and short stories and has sent them off to a publisher. I'm crossing my fingers that they enjoy cute stories, because the greatest thing out of publishing is being on a shelf with other recognized artists and authors. That's where I'd like to be.

It's been a long haul, what with the novel, commissions, and doing my own art. But my name is starting to get recognized. Starting. Now... I didn't say people were falling head over heels yet. That would be wishful thinking. If that started happening, I'd quit my day job and do this full time. Every artists' dream, right?

So on to some good stuff. Here's an image I just finished for the book. Cute, huh?

Commissions I've been slaving over lately

Update on the bookcover - Due October 31st

Still a ways to go. I painted the face first because faces are the hardest part, especially if it's supposed to actually be someone. I think the left eye is a bit small, but otherwise it's fairly correct compared to the reference photo. I like how the hair is turning out. Poor little tyke. She needs a hug!
