@Asyas_illos You always amaze me at how fast you are, and how good your work turns out! It takes me sooooo looooong!

[Asyas_illos]

@kirsten-mcg I just have extra time is all️

[Kim Rosenlof]

@Asyas_illos I really like it and I think there is a story especially with the top panel. I like that she is wearing something that copies the butterfly. I like that idea.

I have struggled with a creative lull for the past few days, I think the sheer amount of rejections I’ve been getting has taken more of a toll than I would like, so to battle that I decided to just do something super simple and quick, just to create something… I made this concept cover for the light princess, and I’m thinking I’ll might go back to refine it (and fix all the wonky parts and all of the flatness) once I stop feeling so low, but for now this is how she will remain.

I was commission to do this piece for a friend. It is Cabo Arch, Mexico. Just wanted to share. It turned out real nice! Thanks guys.

Hi again,

My first character sheet! I took @NessIllustration Picture Book Portfolio Prompt classes and this was a choice from one of the assignments. I learned a lot about what I could achieve, after getting over myself quite a bit. And learned I still have much to learn.

Question though; I did this mainly traditionally but edited it on Clip Studio (placement/arrangement). Do I now need to call myself a traditional/digital illustrator? I do hope to be working with placement and maybe the colour portions in the future on a digital program. Thanks,

[Mia Clarke]

Anyone else joining #folktaleweek next month?

[Kristen Lango]

@Mia-Clarke I'm joining! I'll be posting about it soon!

[ArtistErin]

@Mia-Clarke Yes definitely!!! I’ll be getting ready

[crispalomino]

@Mia-Clarke is there a link?

[Mia Clarke]

@crispalomino Oh, sorry! Here it is!

[Kim Rosenlof]

@Mia-Clarke I am thinking of joining, but I have never done it. Do most people just pick one folktale for the whole week? Or one folktale per day per prompt? Do people make up their own story or always use a folktale? It is probably flexible on guidelines, but just want to know what is usually done.

[Mia Clarke]

@Kim-Rosenlof It’s super open and flexible, and not even restricted to illustration (maybe now’s the time to explore interpretive dance?). I know a lot of people pick one specific tale, but I have also seen people make up their own or just mix whatever is out there. I think the nice thing about the oral tradition is that there are so few rules (which is evident in all the different versions of all the tales), and the organisers of this challenge have really embraced that.

[Kim Rosenlof]

@Mia-Clarke Thanks. That is helpful info.
