Haha, I would love if you actually did that, although you would be the craziest person ever. Plus I don't know if these are the final illustrations for the book! I might just make a few ink and watercolor drawings. I'm not sure yet...Hmmmm

You liar, you didn't spend that long! Aaaagh because if you did I would be very embarrassed that this thing is being scrutinized so closely. And yes, I suppose the lighting could be offscreen....stop giving me excuses to tell myself haha

Thanks so so much I love you for this! You make such lovely critiques, although you are like potato chips for my ego...you're making it fat. No but seriously, thank you.
I would looove to get this published, but I suppose it is all about the writing, and I am sort of bad at that. I'm glad you support it, though!

I almost always use alcohol marker, like Copics and Prismas! They're really wonderful in that regard, because they act a lot like paint.

You seriously looked for stuff?! Haha, a lot of it is just things I thought a 1940s british attic would have in it, not anything prophetic. Arbor Mist is a type of tropical wine, they're just using the box for storage. How in the world did you see the Moby Dick book?! You must have telescopic eyes.
The chalk drawings are the things I was talking about, the ones on the far wall. I guess they'd only make sense if you actually know what happens in the book though, hurhur not very good at foreshadowing.
Thank youuuu thank you thank you thank you The fact that you like it means a lot to me!

I would actually do that! People would wonder why I am suddenly giving out books but it would be worth it XD I'll solicit for you ^^

I did look for that long! (partially becuase I was on a bad internet connection so it almost took that long to download the whole image ) That's the reason I saw the book titles and such I do not have eagle vision here! lol
I'll have to take a closer look at the chalk drawings. It seems like you are a good story teller even from the illustrations. I'm sure you'll be able to write a good story...don' t try to convince me otherwise. You never give yourself enough credit. ^.^
lol, potato chips Like you're any different for me!

Keep up this project! I cannot wait to see more. It seems like a story is being told just from these illustrations. You should look for a publisher and just submit it. What's the worst that could happen, seriously? You become famous all over the world next to the Harry Potter and Twilight series?! *cough* I'm not that far gone...yet. But really, I think it would be quite successful. You may surprise yourself.

Shameless advertisement shameless advertisement shameless advertisement
Naw, but it's real sweet of you to say that (: I am going to start working on the bulk of the book this year for my capstone project, hopefully that will solicit me to get things done!

Yeah, that's sort of my fault...It took me a while to figure out that you could scale down the image if you wanted to, and by so doing make the image less of a truck to download. I will use smaller images, I promise! Thanks for waiting the whole nine and a half hours for the thing to show up And I love stories! They are the butter on my life bread. They're all I like doing, really. And I do too give myself credit! You just ... give a lot more than me! Hehe

Actually, now that you mention it -- do you know anything about publishers? I'm debating the benefits of self-publishing versus a publishing company, I'm not sure if you know anything about that? If you do then oh my goodness it would be great if you could advise me in my predicament
Hehe...it is actually my lifelong dream to be a famous author like J.K. Rowling. It would be great, but I am quite sure I won't be nearly as much of a cultural phenomenon as she is.
(I waited FOUR WHOLE MONTHS to respond to you. I'm so sorry....)

So excited to see some more work! A book is going to be so exciting! Sometimes we need projects like that to keep the production going. XD

I actually like the larger images for you work because you have such incredible detail. I have downloaded a few of yours and it's just overwhelming, but incredible all the same. I have faster internet now so it doesn't take hours to download things Thank god.

Sadly, I don't know too much about publishers. There are a few ways to go about publishing. One is self-publishing which can be tricky, but by some chance you are recognized (like you wouldn't be ) then someone may offer to help publish. You can find an official publisher but it will cost a pretty penny. Then, there is free publishing online which I have limited understanding of. I would research publishers in your area and then maybe just send an email with a few questions. It couldn't hurt to get some answers.
You totally have the potential to be that well-known...well, I know that artist is very well known, but that doesn't mean you can't dream. Maybe you'll be given an opportunity like that someday...make sure to tell me about it!

I know, seriously. I am a horrible procrastinator when it comes down to brass tacks...

Oh, that's true, it does lose some detail...Still, most publications and such won't accept anything bigger than say 1000x1000.... Imagine my disappointment

Oh, thank you...It's good to get anyone's input I know two self-publishing sites, and they cost a lot too...like a good fifteen dollars per book...I'm not even sure if that's the norm, or what to expect...I must do research....My creative Writing teacher knows a lot about it since he's an author, so I should probably ask him.

It's an illustration for a theoretical story, so that makes me really happy to hear that, haha! I'm glad you get a sense of history from it.

Ah, you noticed the doodles? Yay, I thought they'd either be stupidly obvious or completely unnoticable. Glad you noticed them!

All you have to do is find one of the people who give DDs and then note them suggesting something

Agh, they take so long to load, haha. Sorry, I should have used a smaller file.

Thanks man.
Of course you didn't. My job is to completely ruin my artworks for you so that you will never see them again without cringing in disgust

Curses, my book is forever doomed to be unpublished
Although I'm glad you realized they were potatoes, my friend thought they were decapitated heads
