Here, I am, I'm back!
Today, I take a lot of steps in my life, I have already thought of an ending to the series Edward the Alien. One that readers will find moving, scary, and happy.
I am having an interview that may get me to be a teacher of art and design and I am screaming inside with excitement. I have booked my practical driving test and will be passing that soon. I have also made huge leaps in art; spoilers are coming up in the illustrations below.
Some of these pieces of artwork are many different chapters of books 3 (Published) and 4 (To be Written). In book 4, I will introduce some new characters.
Character reveal!
Claudia- Penny's (Grace's) First and eldest daughter
Isaac- Claudia's friend and fellow Personal investigator
Isabelle- Biological mother of Christina
Lennon- a warrior who fought the immortals in the battle.
The sunflowers are my inspiration for wanting to be a teacher. I had a lesson on Vincent Van Gogh in year 7, I saw his art and my teacher teaching me about his art and thought there is no better job than teaching and doing the artwork (what I love) all day long!
The tree landscape is a piece I have changed but used in my portfolio for my interview. It is the first piece in my portfolio, it is an illustration of a scene in the book time riders by Alex Scarrow. I loved his books and keep reading them over and over. I have used this book as inspiration for my own book and hope many enjoy reading the Edward the Alien series.
Here is my favorite illustration and the one I enjoyed making the most for books 3 and 4. I think I may make short stories to carry on the Edward the Alien series. All short stories will be posted on this blog. This is a Character design for Penny (Grace), I gave her purple hair as this is one of my favorite colors and a penny is on the necklace around her neck as she is called Penny, for a nickname. Her wings are white to symbolize innocence. The colors in the background are the colors of her skin when she shapeshifts into alien form.

You can buy the Edward the Alien series books 2 and 3 on this link:
Essentially I didn't want to post anything until I knew the result of my interview but, I don't yet. So I'm going to post anyways. But I will not leave my readers hanging like me. I am doing a creative writing advent calendar to try and post every day for 25 days. On art, stories, or things I have done throughout my day. Merry Christmas, it's the 1st of December xx
