Happy #KidLitArtPostcard Day!

If you get too close, Mistletoe Tarsier, a candy cane eater and Christmas Trees dweller will give you an inexplicable urge to kiss the next person you see.

I’m Mili and I love a touch of magic in my tales.

Happy Holidays!

Character development — Verzmaie from my story “The Maiden and the Dragon”. This is the first sketch that feels right.

How old does he look to you?

Mistletoe Tarsier can be found in Christmas Trees during the holiday season. The creature feeds on candy canes, so make sure your tree has some. However, beware, because getting close to one will give you an inexplicable urge to kiss the next person you see.

Can you help me caption this?

I’m working on a new T-Shirt designs and I’m struggling with the caption. Happy Holly Gaze? Happy Holly Daze?…

Just does not feel right. 😅

I wrote the story “The Maiden and the Dragon” to explain the origin of the dragon-people in my fantasy land, Ardan. Now, I’m trying to design the main characters for the upcoming illustration. This is Onothera, who takes her father’s place and changes everyone’s fate.

Painting Exercise: ToonMe

I love to practice digital painting by taking a photo of an actor and then dressing them up as their character. I even had Murdoch Mysteries request a set of these for an exhibition. 🥰

How do you practice digital painting?

I was testing @kirstyzw.bsky.social brush when this character came to say: “Hello.”

Who is he?

Any ideas?

I need to choose a new Author Photo. Can you help me?

These are the raw files I’m leaning towards. (Taken at Niagara Falls by my friend and fellow artist Milica Aleksic now Jovanovic.)

I’m using my dummy book to write up the descriptive script for my #GraphicNovel. Feels a bit redundant.

However, this is my first time working on a graphic novel intended for trade publishing and according to my research this is what is required from the script.

Am I wrong?

Still working on my graphic novel proposal. (Should be done in 2 weeks, baring further delays.)

I’ve decided to use gradient colour to show the mood of sequential panels. What do you think?

One step at a time.

Wishing you all a creative week!

I’m taking a moment to appreciate technology.

In the old days creating accurate perspective took long papers and many rulers.

Reference photos: to be found in a magazine or giant bins in a library. 😅

Now I have Google image ref. and perspective rulers.🙏🏻💕

As #KidLitArtPostcard day is drawing to a close (I reposted some gorgeous art — check it out!) I’ve been working on this “panel” for my #GraphicNovel Just Dance.

Some really beautiful work this month. I wish BlueSky would create a save button so I can find some pieces again! 💕💕💕
