Description I made a new art!

Hey all! It's been slow on my end...you know...that job thing. But the job's been great and I've even shoehorned in a little freelance time

So this is the fruit of my labor: the cover-to-be of a children's book for Disney Publishing (which will be my first-ever-really-published-work-of-any-significance) based on the upcoming Prince of Persia movie. It's a choose your own adventure book staring Princess Tamina and it will be published on April 13th! Hooray!

If you are so inclined, it can be pre-ordered here: [link]

If you noticed a similarity to my Moby Dick cover from a little while ago, that's because they specifically asked that it be similar. But with Henna, and Hands, and Girls and Stuff.

Hope you guys like it, and thanks for watching!

I wish I could make such a well drawn hand.What really catches my eye are the tattoos, they seem to illustrate something, as if an adventure story of some kind.

You always seem to pick just the right colors for the scene. I love the detail in the henna design, kind of want to see what she is grappling for.

Aw, shucks! Thanks!
I'd still love to do a collab with you some day. Keep the dream alive!
Now, yes...I am pretty swamped. But eventually I will get used to it and I know some day I'll be asked to do more 3D work and I'll be BEGGING for 2D after-hours.

shingworks [2009-12-02 13:37:02 +0000 UTC]

Uugh why are you so awesome?? I love the colors. Reminds me of the colors that Stephanie Lostimolo uses, and I couldn't help but buy most of the things she's worked on.

I just woke up from a dream where I met you and was being a slavering fan, much to your horror. Thankfully we live too far apart for you to see that in real life XD

nicholaskole In reply to shingworks [2009-12-02 22:34:05 +0000 UTC]

Dude: who loves Stephanie Lostimolo? Nick does.
I have had the biggest crush on her art for FOREVER.

And also: that's a hilarious dream.

And also: I got my package in the mail! It's beautiful! Thanks for all the swag The print quality of the book is REALLY nice...great color preservation.

And also: Idunno about that last part...it depends largely on whether you're going to SDCC?

Haha, we are crush buddies I guess. I think S.L. was the first artist on the internet that truly made me want to end myself out of sheer jealousy

I'm glad you got the mail okay!

And omg, I was planning on trying really hard to go this year (and now I will try harder!)

NICE. Loving that purple and gold.

I didn't even know they still made choose-your-own-adventure books. Like, if you kill the dragon, turn to page 55, but if you kill the princess instead, turn to page 73? That kind? Amazing.
