All Aboard the MAGIC BUS
.......No, this isn't a reference to the early second-string Who tune, but is actually the title of the first-ever E-BOOK I illustrated, back in 2012 or thereabouts.
In cases like these, there is sometimes a bit of to-and-fro-ing with the paying customer as regards specific details, but this is quite naturally to be expected and was an enjoyable assignment for both parties, : and testimony that I can turn my back on my natural penchant for all-out cartoon anarchy, in favor of disciplining myself to turn out wholly commercial material.
As long as I get to control the look and design of the artwork, I am perfectly happy to undertake the majority of cartoon assignments: I will take this over having to slave over an already-established style, which I have done in the past but I never especially liked the idea of 'cloning' the work of others, for multiple reasons.
I never read Tara Maloneys' manuscript before embarking upon the project: I was just given the required basics regarding the visual effect desired, and left to get on with it-------which suited me right down to the ground, of course.
Many of these works prove unsuitable for public screening nearer the time the artwork is newly-completed, as I feel I am shortchanging and 'cheating' the buyer, showing their goods that they are paying me to produce------I am always frightened the buyer will demand their money back if I reveal the graphics online too early: which is as good an incentive as any to hold back! The payee always owns the copyright, I have always accepted that as part of the game.
I reckon a full three years' delay in me showing this on my site should be acceptable for Tara though, ---and she won't the publicity value either.
This cover still looks fine [there are two versions here: Tara requested the flying birds be removed on account they wee a bit 'baby-looking'----I always strike up extra digital copies for such an eventuality:
Enjoi!
