a day at the museum Originally uploaded by dibujandoarte

a new sketch contest was held today at the natural sciences museum. i didn't take my camera so i don't have an image of the penguin i sketched for the contest. anyway they said in august all our works will be shown at the museum so i'll surely soon be adding it here. i got the 3rd. place this time. it was fun (such a chill..) when i was almost done with the graphite then decided to add some ink washes, then i foolishly spilt some black ink on the paper, but fortunately i managed to cover it up adding more black ink when it hadn't been my plan. here are some of the sketches i did while we waited for the jury to decide.

2. Kaimira book series update

It’s been a while since I’ve posted an update on my book series, Kaimira. Book one (The Sky Village) is pretty much done except for the illustrations and the back matter. There will be six full-spread (2 page) illustrations, which is rare for a YA book and which I’m terribly excited about. Don’t tell the illustrator, but I’m using one of the illustrations as my computer desktop. The back matter consists of several fun index-type world building pieces, some with sketches.

As for book two, Nigel and I are about 50,000 words into it. We’ve left behind the two settings from book one (the Sky Village and the Demon Caves) and it’s huge fun building out the new settings and cultures.

I love me some world building.

In related news, I was trying to create a Warcraft III custom map / scenario that showed one of the Kaimira battles. There are several different types of golems, and they make excellent meks, and there are a number of different types of animals. (The world of Kaimira is set in a future in which humans, animals, and robots are at war with one another.)

mud golem Once I’m done, I’ll have a fun little Warcraft game in which the robots are occupying the city, the beasts are surrounding the city ready to invade, and the humans are in one little corner trying to survive in this 3-way battle, and then ultimately pushing back the robots and beasts and taking back the city.
