[Art] Cover art for DIY Totemism (by Lupa)

[moonvoice]

Hi folks!

Well, when you've had all your stuff stolen,
all there is left to do is to madly do art to take your mind off things.

I'm rather glad I did! :D


Cover Art - DIY Totemism
for upcoming work by Lupa (which I can't wait for, btw)

Oh, that's fabulous! I had no idea when you were showing the b/w that this was what the art was for, but this will be *so* appropriate!

*squee* It is totally silly of me I know, but I'm gosh darn excited that your art will be the cover for the book which will hold my first ever published essay.
I love the diversity!

Now I'm looking forward to the book even more. Are you doing any internal art, or will there be such in that book?

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

aw cheers! it's amazing how different people really love the different animals. :)

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

yay! thank you. :D
I just think the first time I see it on a book I'm probably going to flip out. :D

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

*squee* And I'm totally excited that it's going to hold your first ever published essay! I don't think I knew that, and that's *awesome* *hugs*

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Thank you muchly. :D

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

You're the first person to fangirl the horse. *hands you a Przewalski*

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Yay froggy! :D

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much. :D

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Yay! Thank you! :D

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Ooo you're the first person to like the boar, I'm a big fan of it too. I think they're awesome animals. *g* Very powerful.

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Yay wolfies!

I'll be doing another wolf totem picture for potential ebay sale actually, I like wolfies. They are fun to draw. :)

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

I'll be doing a few internal illustrations and I hope to get started on them tomorrow. :D I'm not entirely sure *what* yet though. But I have a few ideas.

[primaldog.livejournal.com]

Hey, mucho congrats! That looks spectacular!

[makhsihed.livejournal.com]

So freaking pretty. <3

I think the snake and the stag beetle are my favorites. The snake has such pretty colors and a lovely sheen! and I have always adored stag beetles. *hearts it*

[mycala.livejournal.com]

Oh, that turned out fantastic. Wow. The details are just incredible, and the colors make it pop. Beautiful!

[le-gris.livejournal.com]

Sorry for the stolen, but this came out fantastic. I keep finding new things..

[sotepetsenu.livejournal.com]

*rubs self against you to try and absorb some of your talent*

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Yay! Thank you. :D

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

He has *amazing* shots of other places as well.

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Yay! Thank you. :)

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Stolen = sucky.
And yay for it coming out fantastic, thank you! :)

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

*rubs self against you and... er.... *purrrrrrr**

[sotepetsenu.livejournal.com]

X3!!!!

[makhsihed.livejournal.com]

...oh, my gods.

*stares at the photos*

SO MANY PRETTIES.

I love insects.

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Yeah he is *so* good.
And has surprisingly few followers considering how damned good he is.

He just came back from a trip to Irian Jaya in Indonesia I think, and he stayed with a tribe of ex-cannibals! Some of his stories are amazing. He knows his stuff. :D

[redwolfdreaming.livejournal.com]

GORGEOUS!!

[deerwoman.livejournal.com]

when you mention that you had stuff stolen, do you mean that someone else took credit for your artwork or that you were robbed? In either case that's horrible.

Anyways, congratulations on the book cover! Where can I find out more information about the book? It sounds like it would be worth picking up.

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

The book currently has a working title of DIY Totemism, and is by the author Lupa, who wrote Fieldguide to Otherkin, and Fang and Fur; Blood and Bone. I'm not sure when it will be coming out, but I'll keep it updated on my journal. :)

As for my stuff being stolen, my handbag / wallet / mobile / medication / house keys etc. were stolen early last week. :( Thankfully though, I don't think anyone has taken credit for my artwork; if they have... I don't know about it.

And thank you for the congrats! *hugs* :)
