Hello, people of the world.
So much has happened in my life, and it's mainly from drawing. I clean, cook, take care of my kids, and draw on my tablet all my other free time.
Usually, I can do one page to two pages a week, lately, it's been five a week. Wow. I don't know why that is, I have just been really excited about my next book series which is 5 Stars Princesses.
I have finished Sweet and Sour, now it's time for the next thing. Sweet and Sour book 3 is being edited, but here are a few pages from it.
I finished my first series, Once it's published it will be official at least, I have worked on this first series since 2018. Wow, has time flown, it's already 2024 that's so crazy. Now I am working on 5 Star Princesses, my goal for this series is 5 books. Now I have much more confidence in doing it I can do it!
I have created this story since I was 12, it was one of the first books I tried to draw in my sketchbooks in middle school. I was 12 when I started to draw anime, and 5 Star's Princesses was the first story I came up with.
Over the years I have re-written it over and over again. This story was starting to hurt my head. I gave up a few times cause honestly, the story itself was hard to work with. It started with the idea that the star queen was dying and gave her powers to her five children, then her sister came unexpectedly and when she saw she was dead she wanted her powers, but it wasn't much. The queen's maid Sabing sent her children down to earth and then the sister kills Sabing. Lymond and Paxtin, the two servants to the star queen, try to get the sister but she leaves. Lymond and Paxtin went to find the queen kids but didn't know where.
There was more than that, but when I was looking at it later in my life I tried to restart it with the same idea in the beginning, and I restarted it again later in life. I have at least restarted this story with the same beginning about 4 times. And each time...I just couldn't keep going, for one I wasn't sure what this story was really about, I knew who where the characters were, the bad guy, the good guys, but...something was just missing, and I just gave up for a while on it.
I have tried writing it, adding more characters, and changing the story a bit here and there. For some reason I wanted to keep going on this one...but it was failing.
Then one day, in 2022, I was running. I started running in 2020. I have been really into it since, (if you asked me ten years ago I would tell you I would never run, haha.) But anyway, during one of my runs, I was in my imagination world with the songs I was listening to, and one of the songs made me think of 5 stars and princesses. I had no idea why but I was, and for some reason...it hit me. I had a scene in my mind that made this story a whole lot different, and unique.
I can't share it now, but it has made me get back into it in 2022. I wrote it, sketched the characters, and the timeline, and I got excited. So I am pretty excited for this story and cannot wait to be published. 5 Star Princesses may or may not be a good name, but I am sticking to it. This story has been different since 12, now that I am 30 I am keeping the name the same.
Here's the sketchbook clear back then.
Here's now.
