Ello! I decide to delete off the old second one because there is no point in separating my digital works but makes more sense to create another one for my traditional works. I'm aware that perhaps half of you followed me for my traditional drawings (of which I was uploading rather steadily till I acquired a tablet two years ago) so if any of you are still active please head over to: jgyi.deviantart.com/ if you wish to follow my traditional art endeavours. And also to new watchers, hi and thank you for following me!

Hello! So I've casted my net out for interest and seeing as this is all over my tumblr already I decide to spread the news here as well. 

Here is a sample page that's already done: 

Its a colouring book that will focus around the elves of MiddleEarth and also maybe some Valar (or all) thrown in. I can't possibly fit everyone in because Tolkien is awesome that way so judging from the interest of this book I might do a part 2 in the future, but that's like counting my chicks from a future hen before my current eggs are even laid anyway I'll stop rambling here's the FAQ:

Q: When will it be available for purchase?
A: Most likely by next year or around next year.

Q: How many pages will it be?
A: Around 40-50.

Q: How much will it be?
A: I can't say how much it would be at the moment yet, just that I'll try to keep it as affordable as possible while not making a loss, and also fair warning shipping from NZ is a bit of a tear jerker.

Q: Where can I get it from?
A: My storenvy here: thegreencarousel.storenvy.com/ (And also please check it out its looking quite lonely at the moment)

Q: What level of colouring skill is it suited for?
A: I'm trying to do stuff that hovers between the beginner-moderate skill level but there will be a few pages of insane wrist breaking detailing (the sample is an example of insane detailing, and will be a two page spread). But who am I to judge, I really hope everyone of all skill level will enjoy it

Q: Who will be in the book?
A: At the moment no mortals I'm afraid, I don't have enough space for them; the whole Finwenion family took up half of the book already and that's only the main players.

I think that's pretty much it actually, but please comment below if you have more questions beyond the ones I've posted

I notice that colouring books for adults especially are slowly becoming the new fad, and I always preferred linearting over actual colouring so I have more linearts than actual coloured art scattered all over which I am planning to do something with, so how does an anime colouring book sound? Will it be something that people will be interested in? I'm thinking of featuring these characters in the illustration, I'm hoping the intricacy of the designs will attract people:

 

What do you guys think? Do you think there is any interest?

*I'll be posting those illustrations to my separate anime art account here:
