These will all be full-colour illos in the final version of the book.
I hope the black and white drawings will be available somewhere as well. They are lovely.
ReplyDeleteI'll definitely consider it!
DeleteThese are absolutely outstanding illustrations! :-)
ReplyDeleteI wish I could take credit!
DeleteThese are stunning works of art
ReplyDeleteThey are.
DeleteI spy Tom Kilian! One of my absolute favorites.
ReplyDeleteI told him that it is a privilege to have his illustrations complementing the text.
DeleteI am jealous.
ReplyDeleteSo am I, actually.
DeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteAgreed!
DeleteWow, stunning, those are really special.
ReplyDeleteAgreed!
DeleteThis is really exciting; those illustrations are beautiful
ReplyDeleteThanks. I'm really excited too!
DeleteThe black-and-white suits the art style as well. Excited for it! I don't know the terms to explain it, but I like the lack of whimsy in this art style. I also appreciate the grounded sense that comes through your work - especially this project, and I wonder if that's why I love these pairings.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. It's very sincere, is the right word?
DeleteSomething between grounded and sincere feels right to me! Elements of realism that still embrace the fantasy.
