TIAM was wonderful this past Saturday, even with the full out blizzard conditions in Toronto. I met so many wonderful people, and got more validation that my book is a great piece of work. It makes me feel all fuzzy inside, and makes all those months of worry and stress worthwhile.
Now that most of the work I have to do for the book is over (I just need to get my website updated--that project is a mountain that keeps on growing), I'm thinking about what I would like to do next.
I really want to get back to my novel. For those of you who do not know this, I have been writing a novel since I was 16. It grew out of a bunch of comics I created as I was reading "Lord of the Rings" (14 at the time), and then I wrote a ~30 page short story for my Grade 11 English class, which I have later turned into a 600 page fantasy novel. I need to figure out a style of illustration, and for the first time I'm considering doing full out digital work. The key is to make it look traditional as much as possible. I've got myself a Procreate app for my iPad, and now I'm working on finding a stylus, because I was never comfortable finger painting--feels very weird. Or maybe it would be better to stay traditional. In the end I like having a physical painting I can hang on a wall, or sell to raise money for charity...
I also want to get back into portraiture. I miss painting people.
I also have this fundraising idea for "I'm a Girl" organization. (Has to do with princesses :-D.)
And I would like to write and illustrate either "Just Dance!" (picture book about a little girl that loves dancing and uses it to solve problems) or "I want a dog!" (a story about a little girl who has "everything", but all she wants is a dog).
I have many more ideas, but these are pressing against my mind demanding to be born.
That's about it for now.
WTYL!

FANtasy Character Designs
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

The Word On The Street, Toronto, Sep. 21st
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
