I finished coloring the illus for that book that I've been working on, on and off, for months. Finally. It was mostly fun but man, I'm wiped. Coloring is exhausting - except when it's fanart, for reasons beyond me.

All that's missing is the cover art; had that saved for last. I need to draft that right now so I can email it off tonight.

So, I'm trying to envision the cover. Instead I'm seeing this rather compelling image of a wavy sea with Atlantis in the background. Go away, interference... gotta compartmentalize.

(I love drawing water...)

Counting this one, I'll have illustrated eight books in the past ten months. That accounts for the feeling wiped, I guess. None of those is actually out yet so I can't put any of the most recent stuff on my website. That's really one of the many cool aspects of fanart: the instant gratification... you finish, you post it, no waiting.

Well, anyway, I have a folder full of links I've been wanting to post, and a stack of unread fanfic beckoning. So I will stop rambling and get on that cover art now... the next post should have some, um, actual content. ;)

Damn, baby, you're smokin!

Smoke coming out of my ears, I'm telling ya. Eight. *groans*

And when can we see the stuff on your site?

That's the thing, I have no idea when any of those'll be out, and I can't really put book illu artwork online before the actual publication date (well, a few weeks early is usually okay...)

And I'm lousy with dates of any kind; the only ones I'm keeping track of are actual deadlines, and that just works because I have them written on a graph right which I keep next to my desk. :P
