Well, so much for the templates I downloaded yesterday. I tried using one of them but I was having issues with the text doing what I wanted. I ended up designing my own template. Unfortunately, I still had issues. Apparently one program doesn’t copy text to another very well. I feel like I keep hitting … Continue reading Kids book underway
I’ve been focusing on words today. I’ve been half wondering if that is fear of stepping up to the easel. I’m going to write a quick blog, then I’m going to go prove myself wrong, even if I only get a little bit of painting done today. I will get to the easel. Last night, … Continue reading Words and templates
My children’s book, Eggs at Play, is now available to read for free when you subscribe to Kindle Unlimited. Read to you kids or just for your inner child. Shh, I won’t tell. (Grin) Even Loki reads Eggs at Play just for himself! Here he is checking out my author proof copy. If you don’t … Continue reading Eggs at Play Unlimited
Yes, that's the print version of eggs at play. I have some changes to make on the back cover, but I'm happy with the way it looks overall. Hope I can be clicking the button to make it live very soon. UPDATE: The print book is now live on Amazon. And I inch closer to … Continue reading This just happened…
I'm taking the day off from writing a long post because I'm currently away wi-if service for the post part and writing this on my phone. My boys and I have spent the weekend at Anime Oasis in Boise, Idaho. It's been our annual family trip for several years now. This year, before the convention … Continue reading Progress – May 28, 2018
I finished my children's book. It's really amazing to think that this day is here. Here's one more page from the book: As you'll see below, this page also became the cover for the book. I haven't decided yet if I want this to be the actual cover or if it's just temporary. Decisions, decisions. … Continue reading Eggs at Play
Last year, I really began to see how discipline (yes, I know I used a bad word) and routing could keep someone on track to at least continue doing a little bit every day. Those habits are once again serving me well as my non-artistic life kicks into overdrive. I've had so much going on … Continue reading Progress – February 19, 2018
This is actually the end page of the book, though I am not to the end. Please don't take that as me having finished. (grin) I merely had finished inking it and jumped right into coloring it. It looks kind of weird in my thumbnail panel because I have all these colored pages, a few … Continue reading Children’s Book Progress – February 15, 2018
I thought you might be interested to see how a page develops as i color it. Here's the page as just inks (digital of course because I'm working in Clip Studio Paint - though I will always call it Manga Studio): Then I put my color layer on top on the inks and begin to … Continue reading Children’s Book Progress – February 8, 2018
I survived last week. That is amazing on so many levels that it's not even funny. My brain just kept wanting to work on stories and jumped around like a monkey. Every time I would start to pin it down to work on Prince of the Ruined Land or Onesong, it would remind me that … Continue reading Progress – February 5, 2018
