Artist's Comments

[WARNING: HUGE FILE]

NOTE: While critique is discouraged, that is because I've already printed and bound the book and therefore I will and cannot change or improve the drawings HOWEVER if you happen to catch anymore errors in TYPING, please let me know before 10:40 pm [Pacific Time] [or in the next 2 hours], it would be greatly appreciated. General comments are also appreciated in regards to the storyline and appropriateness.

I decided to post this because my hands nearly fell off after a week of work. As you can see, I tried to overcompensate for the bad story [I think it's bad] for really cute and colourful drawings. >:. The inconsistency is really bugging me too. The final result is photographed [terribly and in bad quality] at the bottom.

I would like to thank ~Piketh, ~yammerz (who went MIA for too long), ~DontBeAHero, ~Snake-Charmer-Ami, ~EmoPotato, ~Goldfish-In-Space, ~Free-Hugs-From-Raito, and a few other people who don't have dA accounts for helping with proofreading of the first and final drafts.

This work is completely made by me, so NO STEALING.

I put a lot of time, effort, and pain into it. >:. Involving sore knees, parched throats, a numb left hand, an aching right wrist, full day shifts, a screw driver, a exacto knife, a power drill [I kid you not], just enough ribbon, and a ridiculous amount of patience.

Therefore, I repeat, DO NOT STEAL, COPY, OR ELSEWISE.

Oh and this is for a kid called Isabella and for my Writing class's Children's Book unit.

^^. Thank you.

And yes, a power drill. We didn't have a single hole punch so we punched holes through the cover with a power drill. [My dad misses thrice...D:...]

This is really adorable.
Aside from the pictures, I think the story line is something a child could relate to.

All the effort you put into this really shows.
(Hand-binding books is a bitch.)

Thank you. ^^. I sure hope the kid likes it. >:. I might throttle her if she doesn't...[...I hope I won't. >_>.]

I prefer handbinding with ribbon/string to staples, plastic page holders, and plastic coil bounding anyways. It was hard because I just barely had enough. [So I had to tighten the bindings after a while and it got really hard to thread through.]

We had to fix the three hole punch so we can punch the paper and even that involved too much math. >:. And a screwdriver. It's okay. He only missed on the back. And it's not really off target, just three more holes a couple millimetres from three binded holes. The kid won't notice.
