I was supposed to drop a sketch and in progress of my next Eldritch horror, the good ol’ Gol-Goroth - the big evil frog boy. However something much more important hit me today, as I got my delivery from the great people at 3D Total, a very important book for me - Sketching from the Imagination: Creatures & Monster. Not only it’s a cool, beefy showcase book packed with inspiration fuel, but the key part is that I there too!
Honestly when it’s such a small thing, it feels like such a success. Just seeing my monsters in print, feeling that there will be a group of people around the world that will now see them as well, perhaps even like them... It’s invigorating, and it’s validating. Stick to what you love doing and sooner or later, with a smidge of luck and some patience, you will get noticed! Obviously I am far, far away from being great at it and I am studying animals anatomies and creature design quite feverishly, but I hope to constantly polish my craft and get really good at it in the end.
