I don’t know, you do it @kate-flournoy. I only come up with the ideas.

I’m in. Where do we sign up to fund this thing? 😀

*lightbulb* New fad everybody! Forget adult coloring books, the new thing is adult picture books!

if I get a book with illustrations, the first thing I do is go through at look at all the pictures.

@Daeus ha! Me too! 😀

@Daeus whoa! Easy there! It’s not that bad. 😛 And the forum doctor is not on call either, so settle down. I don’t want to have to be repairing fractured skulls on a moment’s notice. *shakes finger*

But I definitely recommend you definitely see this one as soon as definitely possible. 😀

I don’t like it when the illustrations look different from what I imagined them being, but I think I still like having the images even despite that. They’re generally at least close and if I get a book with illustrations, the first thing I do is go through at look at all the pictures.

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGHHH!!! *bashes head against the wall*

I haven’t seen it yet. I think my health is declining. I might have to go to the ER if this keeps up.

Yes people, seriously. It so needs you to watch it. WAY exceeded my expectations.

It really depends, @I-J-Anderson. Some books are good with illustrations. A lot of old classics have illustrations— things like Gene Stratton-Porter, and Ballantyne, and the like. I liked those because they sort of filled in the setting gaps the author didn’t spend much time on, though I could have filled it in without them. I guess what I’m…[Read more]

@Daeus of course. No one doubts that. XD

@Daeus Oh gracious, that was dumb. *headdesk*

@I-J-Anderson There!

@his-instrument What Kate said. That’s what I meant to say, except I would have put it better of course.

@emma-flournoy You need an @ symbol.

I’m sorry…dunno what’s goin’ on. 😛

i-j-anderson

That’s the right tag but it didn’t work…lemme try again.

I-J-Anderson

I-J-Anderson Well if the book was written well, there won’t be a long, clunky, awkward description. 😛

I prefer to get my picture of the character from reading the book, not by an actual picture. It just seems more real to me that way. I could like looking at pictures of characters after I already have my own head picture, but not to get my perception.

I tend to agree with @Daeus, @His-Instrument. Literature doesn’t always HAVE to be literal and exact to the real world— especially when it comes to symbolism, there are definite lines you can cross— but unless you feel that it will help illustrate a truth (maybe you wanna explore guilt and how it keeps you from moving on?) probably best not to…[Read more]

@i-j-anderson, now that you figured out how to post pictures you need to show everyone your watercolors 🙂 Also, the one you just posted that you did in pen will forever be one of my favorites. 🙂
