  • RE: Mods: Children's Book Pro links don't work in every browser

    @Jason-Crowley I use a Mac and Safari, and it works fine. But I do know that YouTube is cracking down hard on Ad Blockers so I wouldn't be surprised if that's what's happening. I use them, too, and had to specifically turn mine off for YouTube in order to play any videos at all.

    I've turned to using Duck Duck Go as my browser for watching YouTube instead. Just a suggestion.

    I am very proud of myself for the progress I'm making on this project. After writing and editing then scripting the story, I started drawing the actual pages a few weeks ago. I have completed 7 pages! LOL. I know that may not seem like much, but doing this with a day job, I think its amazing!
    This is page 1.

    Do you have anyone in your life that you can communicate with using no words?

    Made this piece for my story to accompany a character's first introduction to his new friend, a sugar glider named Sesska.

    I recently completed my 2023 Folktale Week series of illustrations. I chose to do them more in the vein of Lee White's "Slovember" approach, and really took my time with each one. I also used the key words to help flesh out the trajectory of the story I'm developing, which is an adaptation of Little Red Riding Hood heavily inspired by the folktale but nothing like it. How's that for vague? LOL!

    This year's words (Lost, Ink, Underground, Sleep, Sea, Illusion, and Found) fundamentally helped me flesh out the story, too, and I got a LOT of writing and development done on the project, which in turn inspired yet more imagery... So even though the event was technically in November, I'm still working with the ramifications of the inspirational directions it led me toward.

    I really enjoyed the experience of "exploring" the story through visual imagery, and letting imagery lead to text. Some of these aren't going to work at all, but they were useful tools in the process. It has been a great experience thus far.

    Here's a collage of the Folktale Week series. Progression 2 layered 2500.jpeg

  • RE: Starving for Validation

    @NessIllustration Yeah, I guess I didn’t make anything clear there, did I?

    It’s kind of like grief. It doesn’t go away. But from some perspectives, the rest of your life grows around it and it becomes part of you but not the overwhelming presence it once was because other aspects of your life have shifted/grown/developed. Proportions of the need for validation change, but that need will never go away. I think there’s a lot we can do as illustrators that can help shift/grow/develop the proportions of our desire for validation in respect to the other aspects of being an illustrator.
