Check out the CONTEST at the end if you would like some free original character designs inspired by The Lord of the Rings Universe.

FANtasy Character Designs is my new side project, something to give me a bit of a break from working on my first fully-illustrated fantasy novel, "Warriors of Virtue".

During this project, I will create original characters inspired by my favourite fantasy universes and I will record my progress with Camtasia.

I love fantasy art, but as a poor young artist I could never afford to purchase more than a print or two, and those $100+ video tutorials… I slaved for days and saved for months just so I could see Drew Struzan paint "Hell Boy". Art is not a necessity, like food and rent, but should it be a privilege of the rich? Aren't the poorest of the artists, the young artists, the ones who need inspiration from art prints and tutorials the most?

I had this brainstorm. My art and tutorials will be affordable for every artist, poor or rich. There are three price tiers to my pyramid:

  1. FREE. Everyone who signs up for Mili Fay Art Fan Club will get a 1024px wide (or tall) JEPG of the image for their personal at home use. I do not know where I would be without my fans. You guys are the greatest and you totally deserve some free artwork.
  2. $1-$3-$5 . During Launch Week everyone can download the original, full-resolution (7200px wide or tall) art for $1. After Launch Week the price will go up to $3. Then when the next artwork in the series becomes available it will go up to $5. Instead of paying $20+ for printing and shipping, if you are quick enough, you'll be able to own all of the original files for a $1 each. That's less than a cup of coffee, or a pack of gum. Friday is the Launch Day, which Friday depends on the week I finish the artwork. You can follow my progress on Facebook and Twitter (#FANtasy).
  3. $20-$30. I will make a quick time lapse video available for free on YouTube. However, I will charge $20-$30 for the step-by-step tutorial. The first artwork I did took about 20 hours. This means that to create a 2h video tutorial, I will have to do a lot of cutting and editing. If you feel $20 is too much, let me know what you think is fair and I'll consider your suggestions.

 

CONTEST

What if you could get an original character design of your favourite character from the chosen fantasy universe in full-poster-size resolution for free. 

Well, you can. It does not require any skills whatsoever other than speed.

Every time I create a character, I will write a blog post about it. When I post the artwork, there will be a link to the blog post. The first person to suggest the next character from the chosen fantasy universe will WIN the finished full-resolution image.

Mili Fay Art Fan Club members receive the email with the link first, but sometimes they forget to check their email, so you may be in luck.  Or you can follow my blog. How you end up first is up to you.

I'm using my blog, because it is the one place where everyone is welcome. You do not need Twitter, Facebook, DA, or other social media access.

This is the Blog Post for "Balrog Durin's Bane": milifayart.artofmili.ca/2015/0…

Unfortunately, as I was writing this someone commented on the blog and we have a winner for the next design, but check out how it works , because you may win the next one.

Thanks for reading!

Mili

You of course are all invited. Just step over to my blog for all the information you need: mili-fay-art-publishing.blogsp…

After you download the free Kindle version of "Animals In My Hair", answer some questions in the comments of the blog post to win an art print of your choice.

Also, I'll be online for sure until 8pm (EST), so if you have any questions about art and publishing, now's you're chance. :-D

The book will be free only today, December 6, 2014, Pacific Time, so don't delay.

Hoping to see you there,

Mili

I have not been here on a while, and I will have to leave rather quickly.  I've been chosen to present my book, "Animals In My Hair" at INSPIRE! Toronto International Book Festival.  Until then, I have to create 2 Kindle/eBooks and one picture book.  This is the reason why you will not see me here probably until December 2014.

My next huge event is The Word On The Street.  Wish me luck!

Until next time, 

Mili
