Finished my first dummy and sample pages!
-
Watching the SVS videos, attending SCBWI and connecting with all of you pushed me to finish my first dummy! It's a big PDF right now, but I thought I'd share one of the sample illustrations I'll be submitting with it.

It looks awesome! So funny!
The book must be a blast - are you going to seek a publisher or an agent? -
@smceccarelli I have a publisher looking at it right now, if that doesn't pan out I have an agent in mind as well. I submitted a manuscript and my portfolio a few months back and the agency basically said "pass on this right now, but we'd like to see more if you ever do a full dummy." So that seems like an open door!

It looks so good! Congratulations on finishing your dummy! So awesome.

Congrats, Natiwata!
What is the name of the book? This image is fun!
I would love to attend some SCBWI conferences but I live in the opposite part of the world... Do you think you could have done it with SVS minus the SCBWI? -
@natiwata Very cool I wish you the best of luck. Beautiful work.

Great image Nat!

It feels good to get it done... to be a finisher as Jake puts it.
-
Congratulations!!!
-
@Nazuba I think I could have done the dummy with just SVS, but the SCBWI conference gave me a great boost of motivation and the contacts I made there definitely contributed to me getting the dummy done.

Congratulations! Completing your first pb dummy is HUGE! I found it very daunting myself and am at work on a second... gotta keep those ideas rolling. I think you have set up a very interesting composition that certainly makes the reader want to know more. Good luck submitting and I hope this is the first of many for you.

I would love to see more!

Congrats on finishing your first book dummy. I really love your character design and texture in this piece and I would love to see more of the story. Good luck!

That's sick, I love the style and also the fisherman in the background.
Keep it up and congrats!
