The first color test for the 2d animated trailer! I hope you’re all excited to see it!

Teen Theodore and Ruth here — but I won’t reveal anything else because it’s spoilers. ;)
We’re planning to have over 150 traditionally inked illustrations in the novel across its 140,000+ word count. (That’s roughly the length of Pride & Prejudice!) The book will be released as a hardcover and it’s looking amazing so far!
Please follow along for more updates! Loads of exciting things coming.

Hi folks!
I’m so excited to reveal some thumbnails of the illustrations for The Valiard Mansion, my illustrated novel. We’re planning to have over 150 traditionally inked illustrations in the novel across its 140,000+ word count. (That’s roughly the length of Pride & Prejudice!) The book will be released as a hardcover and it’s looking amazing so far!
We’re also going to release clips of the animated trailer soon, as well as making-of videos, so I’ll keep you guys updated on that.
Thanks to everyone for joining me on this long, long road to getting Valiard published. Some of you have been with me since 2013, which is insane to imagine!
- There are loads more exciting updates over at The Valiard Mansion Instagram Page so please have a look there if you’re interested!
Q:Hi! l couldn't find any email adress so l'm just gonna ask hère... l like to draw so much and mostly animation characters... And l'd like to do that on computer, in a program (in a technological way) so l wonder which programs you use for your drawings? (l'm planning to get a tech drawing tablet but l wonder if u have any suggestions... )
You’re pretty safe going with any Wacom tablet. Even the smaller ones work fine.
For software, I highly recommend Clip Studio Paint. It’s only $49 and regularly goes on sale for $25.
There are free alternatives, but I’m not sure what they are. I’m out of the loop. There’s software nowadays that used to be free but isn’t anymore, and then there’s something like Photoshop CS2 which I’ve heard is free now.
It’s weird! Haha!
But yeah. I personally use Clip Studio Paint, both at work and at home, every day. Might be a steep learning curve if you’re new to digital art in its entirety, but there are loads of tutorials available online.
Good luck!
