Some Good News

Sat May 30, 2009, 3:30 PM
Although it's not a job offer, I have had some nice possibilities popping up for me this week. On the art side of things, I have been asked, along with a number of other artists, to help with the artwork for one of those RPG type books, all about Steampunk. I think it's a kind of steampunk/space opera type story- I haven't received all the details yet, but will hopefully be doing about 10 images for that, all of which I hope to show you on DA. I have been practicing very hard with some new styles and ideas, so I applogise for not posting much recently, but it's all in sketchbooks or on my desk! So long as it doesn't breech any copyright or whatnot, I'll post the pics once they are done. I am very much looking forward to it, and I will hopefully get royalties. Woop!

On the writing side of things, my publisher has asked me if I want to go to The Northern Book Fair and do a signing. They'll set me up with a table and copies of my book, so I can have a chat and generally get some more exposure. Even better, I get a chance to go back to my old University! It's on Aug 16th, so, if anyone's around, please come up to Lancaster and say hi! I have also finished all my editing now and am well into writing my third book, as well as a few others. I am so busy with ideas, sometimes I don't know whether I want to read, write, draw, eat, sleep - it's all one big blur. I still desperately want a job though, and haven't given up looking... in fact I look every day for at least 2 hours, but I can't even get an interview. Oh well, at least with the artwork, it can all go towards my portfolio.

On a completely alternative theme: YAY DIVERSITY - Glad you won Britain's Got Talent.

And that's about it. Will keep you all updated, have a great weekend, enjoy the weather and eat lots of icecream.

Luff and hugs to all!
Zoe xxxx

I...idolize you. :hug: Your style, everything...insane...I faved (mostly) what I'm using for my supernatural story. Don't worry, if I ever publish (read: not going to) I'll credit. ;)

Oh, and, do you do requests of any kind? <333

Hey :D
Please be aware that a lot of my artwork is based around one of my books that is already published and copyrighted, so if you do plan on using anything PLEASE ask me first and state exactly what you wish to use and where and for what purpose. I am glad that you like my work, and it inspires you :D
I'm working on a big project at the moment, so don't have much time for art trades or requests, but sometimes I get time, and will post in my journal - it it would be ona first come first serve basis. Hope that helps :D Zoe xx

I haven't lost my mind - It's backed up on disk somewhere...
Oh, okay, heh, I didn't know your work was published! (That's very cool...)

Well, I just meant, on my computer I maintain like, nine or ten databases of stories I might write someday, with characters, settings, backstories, and hence, the pictures of my characters. Yours happen to be nearly perfect for my story titled Natura. If I ever publish (which I probably won't), I'll credit you for inspiration, and definitely not use your art! (Isn't that illegal or something?) :D

Okay, thanks for the request info!

It does.

Oh, Zoe, didn't you used to have a tutorial on how you coloured? Where would that be now...? I'd like to see it again. :3

It would be slightly redundant as I don't use that program any more. But I can possibly make another one when I get a bit more time. I don't really do anything amazing, it's just simple cel style shading, and I usually only use 5 or 6 layers now. There are some good tutorials on DA in the meantime. I just read loads of comic and try and learn from those, and animation too. Just pause it and just stare at it for an hour lol. It's mainly a case of practice.

Lol, I gotcha. And nah, you don't have to make one(Well, not for me, I'm sure someone else would want one. XD). I just wanted to look it over is all. Thanks though. =D
