Okay, fine. Let's not beat around the bush. I made him an anthropomorphic ring-tailed lemur with wings, and I regret nothing. 😂

If you're interested in meeting this very sweet male lead, be sure to check out MY PRIMITIVE ALIEN EXILE! bookgoodies.com/a/B0FPG2VKB8

I thought it'd be fun to go over my design process the characters in MY PRIMITIVE ALIEN EXILE and share it with 💙📚. Starting with the male lead.

This was the very first sketch I did of him, along with a handful of other aliens I knew I wanted in the series. (1/?)

Tada! You can now pre-order MY PRIMITIVE ALIEN EXILE and join Lynn as she tries to survive an alien jungle full of giant shark-cats, river monsters, and ambulatory carnivorous plants. With the help of the endearingly inquisitive local she meets along the way. 😉

I thought I had the next part of my cover reveal all done and ready to go, and then I went to go post it and realize I was missing a piece of text. I mean, it's not a crucial piece so it's not the end of the world, but...

You know what? Here ya go. I'll just share it anyway. Enjoy. 😂

How well do you think you'd hold up stranded in an alien jungle? It's probably a good thing Lynn's father was a paranoid survivalist nut and taught her everything he knows. 🏕️

It's been nearly three years since the last time I started a new sketchbook. Feels good, man. I'm excited to fill this one up with all kinds of character design and world building shenanigans. 🥰

Are you excited? Because I sure am. 😘

TFW you have character design stuff you're dying to share, but it's for a character/alien species that doesn't make its main appearance until book 4 in the series, and book 1 is still months out from its publication date. 😅

Here. Have a flashback to some initial idea sketches instead!

It's interesting connecting the numbers to how difficult/easy a particular project was.

Not that this covers everything. It doesn't show things like total number of drafts, or number of partial drafts, or all the deleted content from other drafts, etc. This is just the base-line info for fun. 😊

Dorian preened. I heaved my most dramatic sigh. “Great. Now I’m going to have to deflate his ego.” His shoulders slumped, but laughter brightened his green eyes. “Ouch. Consider me wounded.” “I promise to kiss it better later.”

I fail at marketing! 🎉🎉🎉

I completely forgot to share a snippet of Jacky Book 5 last week! Despite the fact it's coming out THIS MONTH. You can pre-order it here: bookgoodies.com/a/B0FFSKKJBN

Though you should probably start at Book 1. 😉 bookgoodies.com/a/B0DJG6JD37

Nailed it.

Well, at least I nailed the face. He actually looks like Dorian now!

Here's a fun little comparison.

One of the reasons the sketching phase of a project takes me so long is I spend a lot of time doing little tweaks, then set it aside to stew for a day or two so I can come back with fresh eyes. Those little changes add up to a big shifts, until I finally nail it.

Do you see the vision?

With the cover art for the sci-fi romance done, I can FINALLY put all my art focus on Dorian finishing this set.

Wanna meet these three for yourself? Book 4 in Jacky's series is out in just TWO DAYS! But you should definitely start at book 1. 😉 bookgoodies.com/a/B0DJG6JD37
