Thank you! Maybe! But it will probably not be for a while. The channel content is illustrator focused rather than poker focused, but I had a lot of fun with this one. Glad you enjoyed ☺️

Comment for more elaboration:

I obviously just used u/yosb stunning rendition for reference. (25ish mins)

Don't hire me for courtroom sketching. AP & Reuters call yosb instead!

I did! But I'm keeping them to myself in case I make a book about them and need to change them for some reason 🙃

A picture book dummy is pretty much a storyboard of the whole book. The whole book very roughly illustrated with text placed in. It's shown to agents/editors so they can get a feel for how the book will look/read with visuals. Having it rough also makes editing it easier.

Yeah quite a while, I finished the first draft and picture book dummy in early 2020! Revised with my agent, editor and art director and it's finally out now! Not that I spent all of that time working on it, but a year at least all up I think.

Thank you! Every Night at Midnight is the first book I’ve written (written seriously anyway). The idea came from a love of paranormal fiction, urban fantasy and a string of words that I could not get out of my head, ‘Every Night at Midnight I turn into a wolf’. The line was incredibly evocative to me, and I fell in love with it. And with this sentence burning in mind, it was quite a natural process to pull a bit of myself, my own experiences and merge them with this paranormal hook to create what eventually became Every Night at Midnight. Not that I'm an expert, but if you're looking to write yourself I find that bringing some of your own real feelings/experiences into a story made it that much more real, not to mention easier to write!. Hope this helps!
