A little piece of Fan Art...

So, I discovered an ebook called Demon Girl by Penelope Fletcher.  It turned out to be such a great read that I went ahead and read Demon Day (book 2) and Demon Dark (book 3) and am eagerly anticipating the release of Demon Boy (book 4) for the summer of 2012.

I was inspired by the main character, Rae Wilder and contacted the author to let her know I wanted to draw   Rae for fun.  I just needed to confirm her features for me.

Anywho, this is what I came up with...
I'm happy to say that when I sent it to Miss Fletcher, she loved it!  She even proudly posted it on her own blog.  How exciting is that?  Here is the link to her blog post:

Rae only recently found out that she is a fairy, rather than a human.
She is also the fairy High Priestess and very powerful, so she is under a lot of pressure.
In this drawing I depicted her biting her lip and tugging at her hair,
just as she often does in the books!

Thanks for checking it out!

A Little Preview

When much of the work that's keeping me busy these days is complete, I intend to embark on a new children's book project of my own.  I've had the story written out for a while and toyed with the main character's look.  Finally, I came up with the above and I really like her.  She's perfect for the "part".

Without giving much of the story away, let's just say for now that you shouldn't let her appearance deceive you.  This is not one of those gothic/dark children's tales.  Though, I love those and my children find them pretty cool.  This girl is just, well, different.  And the story is more about friendship and love and wonderful surprises.  

I hope to have it completed and released by Spring of 2012.  That is the goal anyway!
