Forgive the horrific graphic art job at the top, had to block out some private work info. But as you can tell I was totally paying attention during the meeting.
Anyway, some chaotic newsies enjoying a drink because I haven't drawn them in forever and I miss it.
I wanted to share some of the GORGEOUS fan art that people have drawn my OC, Crystal! It makes my whole day when people draw her! You all are so kind 💖 Each artist is credited in the image description!
What sweet kids. Sure hope nothing bad happens to them on that brand new rollercoaster. After all it is 1900 and rollercoasters are really new and not very well-made lmao
Once every 5 years the good lord manifests in me the ability to make one Newsies related artwork. Would be kind of cool, except the Newsies tumblr fandom died like 8 years ago or something.
i got lazy with the shading and unconsciously used almost the exact same art style for it
i also forgot my signature so just pretend there's an O with an M in it on there, i don't know who the artist of the reference i used is because i don't have the full photo, if someone knows or if i find out all credit to the reference will go to them !
I will admit, the first pages of the book are kind of slow. I wanted to give representation to some of the newsies Jrs. characters. I usually don’t like writing prologues because I want to get into the action right away, but I felt like it would be necessary here in order to establish the conflict and the main antagonist, as well as the setting and tone of the book.
Authors footnote: the prologue is usually disconnected from the main story, but helps with things like worldbuilding and establishing mood and tone, as well as revealing the conflict.
