Secret project update

I think it's easier now to guess who - or rather, what - she is, right? ^^

Can't talk too much about what it's for - only that it's a laaaaarge-scale collaboration, not a project of mine but something to which I'll contribute one piece. It's going to be a beautiful and awesome thing that'll happen next year. 

That said, please cross your fingers it'll really happen next year. All the great things I was hoping for in terms of publications for this year have mostly evaporated. The DVD was the saddest - I had seven paintings in the pipeline to appear on the Hobbit DVD, and they all got cut. It's rumoured that Peter Jackson had the final say. As if he hadn't earned my perpetual dislike already. 


The artbook is no closer either. I've got tired of asking. It was planned three years ago, I finished work on it two and a half years ago, and it's already outdated before it will even be published. If it's published at all.


And ImagineFX - three issues have come and gone and I'm not sure if it'll happen yet... I should poke them, politely?

Oh, thanks! I hope that in the none too far future, my daughter will come in handy with this sort of information, too. ;)

btw, her foot is wrong in the stirrup; it should sit the ball of the foot (ie just behind where the toes start). Any further back and it's too hard to kick free if you come off, so you risk being dragged with your foot caught in a stirrup.

Looks good; sorry to hear that other projects have seemed to lead nowhere though. Fingers crossed for the two that may just be delayed.

Joining everyone else in saying that I'm sorry the DVD and art book aren't coming through. My already poor opinion of Peter Jackson just dropped some more. This new project looks like a lot of fun though!

I'm still hoping for the art book, but it's been postponed for two years now. It's so frustrating.

Jenny Dolfen

Oh no, that sucks. I'm so sorry it didn't work out. PJ clearly has lost his mind.

Anjuschka

Argh. Which ones did you have?

Jenny Dolfen

This is lovely! I really like how genuine strong you've made her arms!

Liv Klein

Sorry to hear about the evaporating projects. I was really looking forward to the art book. I suppose self-publishing is cost-prohibitive.

Joan Freeman

Nice drawing. I can feel the tension in her legs gripping the horse, and the right arm.

Zom

Heh heh, I had three paintings chosen for the Hobbit DVD, all cut as well. :)

Fingers crossed for you! That's way too many things not going through for one person! And it's official now: Peter Jackson doesn't know what's good or not anymore. Over the last year, I've head so many things that could have been good being replaced by something less. So many things that could have been good worked out in a way that makes me cringe *cough* Galadriel *cough* Legolas *cough* this doesn't even surprise me anymore.
