Comic's Explaination

2021 is coming and everyone on Facebook (At least on my Facebook,) are asking to see terms and conditions for 2021 before signing anything and I find it funny but also, we can't stop 2021 from coming either way. It is coming and there's nothing we can do. So I made a comic about it.

Someone gave me an idea about how anxiety gives them anxiety about remembering things like their kid's doctor appointment and such, it gave me this anxiety comic.

Covid has really given me paranoia, after Thanksgiving, I discovered that my sister got test positive for Covid and I was with her on thanksgiving day. I got myself tested and it gave negative, but then shortly afterward I find out that another sister was tested positive. So I got tested for covid again! Both times came back negative but it did give me paranoia that maybe I did get it. I was cautious about how I was feeling, did I had a fever, why was I coughing, were my taste buds ok, etc. So it also gave me another idea for a comic.

One time my sister and I were shopping for groceries, and as we were going to our car my sister saw a gift card on the floor outside by the parking lot. She was telling me about it as we got in our car driving home and was saying how what if she took it, but then it would be useless unless someone actually put money in it. Then she had this idea of what if a dumb robber was stealing gift cards and his boss was so upset with him. That gave me the idea for this next comic.

I have been working on Sweet and Sour all week long last week, this week is Christmas week so I am taking a small break because last week I did do three pages each day. Three pages yes!! It was so hard but I did it, and will probably keep trying to do that for the next week or so, for I want to get this second book done. I am on page 116, just over halfway done with the second book. I want to get this book done so I get into Flower in the Dust, Flower in the Dust is going to be about ten books long (If my math is correct it could be longer). I have started on the book but can't focus on it until Sweet and Sour is done because Sweet and Sour is still a great book and just want it to be my first success.

I drew the main character in her bird outfit, for part of the story she does get married to a prince that she doesn't really know. Ooo! I love how I did the background, I surprised myself a lot.

My first time EVER, something is PUBLISHED, with MY ART!!

 

Hello, people from Posia! 

So big, big, news, I have created my first-ever children's book! Well as in illustrating it. Someone that knows my sister asked her to do it and I got a little jealous of it, but then she asked me to do it for she was too busy and I was so excited! 

The author told me the deadline and said he likes my work, and it was so easy peasy! Usually, when you have to work for others they want a certain way, and it can be so frustrating, but this guy was so chill and seem to like the work that he asked me to do another one!

I would have talked about this children's book sooner but I was afraid for I wasn't sure if I was allowed to or something, but he sent me copies of the book and I was overly thrilled! For this is the first time ever has one of my creations been published. And I'm doing another one for him, he asked me to do another book, and that I jumped right into it already.

I have no idea where you can get this book...I already had a few people ask me where they can buy and I have no idea. It's not on amazon, when I asked the Author he just asked to email him for more copies so...I'm sorry I got nothing. But it is so exciting to me, I'll share a few pictures from it.

This children's book is mainly about how things are, it doesn't really have a plot or a story, it just random stuff that maybe kids notice or something. Like the tree, the boy says "I like the color blue,"  the darkroom with a yellow light was just, "Light shines in Darkrooms," or something like that. The author just asked me to be creative on each page of the book and I tried to be but there were a few pages where I wasn't so sure what to do. 

It is really exciting to me that I have accomplished something like this and doing another one for him, I do want to continue on doing something like this for the rest of my life for I like it too much! Getting paid to do children's books or even doing my own books I can be living the dream. 

A little update of Sweet and Sour, I am still working on it being edited. I got another person I know to edit for me but they are taking their time on it, which is fine I don't have a deadline on it, but as soon as they get it edited then will I figure out a way to publish it. I might have figured out some way to do it through Amazon but we will see if it work.

If you don't know Sweet or Sour, you can read it here.

It took me two years to finish the first book of Sweet and Sour, and now that I'm working on the second book, I'm on page 98 and it has taken me a year to do it this far. Oh boy, if I want to make like a hundred books then I have to pick up the pace. 

I have said also in my past posts that I was only going to do two books of sweet and sour, for it was just meant to be a short story, but I feel like two books are too short, so I am making three. 

Here's a little bit of Sweet and Sour 2

I do have to say that the second book is more intense to draw or read, for something big happens and it is a matter of "what will they do to fix it," kind of thing. It has a great message about the agency and why we need it. This book is good and happy with how I am doing it, but I am also ready to do my other books as well.

I have mentioned before how I can't focus on one book for too long, whenever I draw one book I always need some kind of break from it. I don't know why that is but it just is, so I have started other books.

There was one book that I was hoping to get going and finish, it's a story by my friend that asked me to draw for her, but as I was doing it she was happy with the way it looks but then asked me to stop and that maybe I should focus on my other books that are better than hers, (She said that not me). So even though I have gotten far on my friend book, I have started on another book that's called Flower in the Dust.

Now maybe in my next post, I'll explain more about it, but I just did the cover page for the book already and I absolutely love it!  What do you think?
