Hi Heather! Very nice to meet you too, I am Richy. Thank you for the kind words and for taking the time to look at my work! Excited to share more and see your art.
I am pleased to report that with this spread of our fearful hero puking his guts out while his dad looks on I am officially DONE final art for my book!
Now it goes to the designer and art director for revisions/typesetting and other stuff and it is on schedule to be released Spring 2024!
And now I get to do it all again with the second book 
@braydin-hawlette AWESOME!!!
@braydin-hawlette That's awesome!!! Not the puking... I remember the olden days when 1/2 of the posts on here were yours. Now your work will be in a book -that's FABULOUS!

I HAD SO MUCH TIME BACK THEN!!! But yeah, it's pretty cool that I get to have a published book! From an actual publisher!
Dragon wip inspired by the newly budding poison oak that’s EVERYWHERE
@Richy-s-ayala oh my goodness I just love this so much! I want to jump into that picture and visit this world. So much color and life to this. great job!
@lpetiti YES!! It's hard to remember sometimes that art is built on play. It is supposed to be fun and enjoyable. It is letting our curiosity lead us down a path to see what we find and what we can do. As adults I think we get caught up in being productive and forget to just play. Children are always making art and not concerned about the outcome. I have challenged myself to play with my art more and stop focusing on my "should dos" and focus on just enjoying it. not as easy as it sounds sometimes though.
@Robyn-Hepburn Thank you so much!! This made my day. I am actually considering setting up a little online shop for prints and this feedback definitely inspires me to do it!
Ok I know he doesn’t have any arms yet, lol, and I need another character or two what do you think?
so after hearing one of the live Q&A episodes again, where i asked a question and @Will-Terry remindet me of, that i have a mindset problem, i decided after crying just a bit after i failed my driving test today, that i just draw and get it out of my system.
I also made a secon version with happy faces, that i can gift my driving teacher when i will pass the test next time
Maybe some of you remember my small project about myself. to get comfortable with drawing and don't have to much presure.
Nothing too special, but i hope it will help me in the future to be mor creative with composition and stuff.

I made some illustrations for MerMay 
@von_Nimmermehr that sucks failing the exam, but at least it sparked creativity. I vividly remember my exams, can really relate to the image.
@kayleenartlover that top one in the water, with the beautiful colours make me want to have an equally careless and relaxing day as the mermaid and frog are having.
@braydin-hawlette Congratulations!! Can’t wait to see it!
@Richy-s-ayala One word, gorgeous.Buildings are one of my least favorite things to draw because I have a hard time giving them "character". You worked magic with design, color and texture!
This is a self portrait wip a very generous self portrait lol
