Oftentimes I find any delays in my production are my lack of thinking ahead. Im trying to remedy this, but sometimes a happy accident can be a solution to a problem.

Posting a couple of before/afters. The more tedious one was the city-scape. I realized the illustrations were progressing into more loose quality then I originally anticipated (I started this book at the tail end of 2024). I had gone back over the cleaner lines with a more loose/texture feel and I LOVE it. It adds so much more life to the comp.

Another shot of a page where a tourist is taking a snip of the cityscape view. I had removed the line on accident and really like the glow the city seemed to be giving off. This one might be more of a 50/50 but thought Id discuss it.

And just posting a small snippet of the magical book page - I added in some fairytale creatures due to context and the book spines/covers were a lot of fun to design and decorate
