STEEL CITY, VEILED KINGDOM manuscript art challenge – Institute exterior

Art

Exterior of a skyscraper-type building, done in Sharpie markerAbout This Project: The rough draft of my novel STEEL CITY, VEILED KINGDOM came out to over 800 pages of paper. I finished the pencil edits ice ages ago, but since it felt wasteful to toss out all the reams, I’ve given myself a challenge: I’m going to draw my novel (kinda sorta). Whatever’s happening on the printed side gets drawn on the other side–action, characters, or scenery.

Exterior of Jerimin’s workplace, done after copying some GIS skyscraper exterior refs. His world looks like Minority Report + Iria: the Anime. Like, if those two movies’ sceneries had babies it’d be his world.

Moxie Kitten + Assortment

Art

So one of the Ultimate Drawing Warm Ups is to draw snakes in baskets? So there’s one of those here, along with a cat carrier, and Moxie zooming around (and hiding!) in her box. But I know there are folks out there like my mom who are scared of even pictures of snakes, so you’ll have to click through on this blog to see the pic.

(Simple, small drawing of snake behind cut.)
