I'd love to see your vision of these worlds<br /><br />Sadami thanks for the endless support and positiveness, my mates will surely have read your cheer :D "stick to my goals", I'll surely try hard<br /><br />Rhonda, after reading one of your latest emails I'm in the middle of a turning point in my approach to the challenge of this project, love you this much![_____________^_^_____________]<br />looking forward to your critiques too <br /><br />Andy I sure will rant about my chosen approach as soon as I start, I'm almost sure of it, but don't worry, I'll blame it all on Ben for being the mastermind of this all, I can't wait to start sketching! Almost finished the book :D And now I'm in the middle of taking your Bilbo with the watering can illustration out of my mind, it made a strong impact on me and I don't want to be influenced by it, gotta block that image asap<br /><br />Ben oh Ben, you know how I grind through things but I'm going to do my best, at least we will some laughs. I see what you come from when you say you want to go completely different, in a way that's a completely different approach but the same goal, getting off the comfort zone and try something different to learn and grow grow grow. This is going to be a blast, I'm sure I'll rant and point fingers at you when I'll become frustrated and will blame you and call you names (probably) BUT I'm sure too that I'm gonna love each single moment of it all, thanks for starting this all *smooooch*<br /><br />Ann, I hope to get some hard critiques from you and all the pals, you know how much I appreciate your eyes :)Teresa Palomar Loishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02923138524590902050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998063511496022591.post-32744986314015845702011-01-27T16:22:18.878+01:002011-01-27T16:22:18.878+01:00Wonderful project, Teresa.

However, I think I will concentrate on completing the work and not set my goals too high by thinking every artwork needs to be a hard-won masterpiece just because it is Tolkien.<br /><br />I applaud you for rereading the entire book. If you need any help with the English translation of passages or names I’d be glad to do it. I feel confident that I can match them up. But Bolsón? How weird!<br /><br />Your approach is something which I had never even considered. In fact, I never desired to have my pictures look like a cohesive set. Maybe I should. Hmmm. Nah. I really want to try new stuff on each piece. I probably will bounce around the months though.<br /><br />I can't wait to see your first drawing, Tere!!! In the end, we may not finish on time for a calendar, but at least we will make SOMETHING super cool! <br /><br />Cheers,<br />BenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998063511496022591.post-53459104184913385722011-01-25T05:43:29.760+01:002011-01-25T05:43:29.760+01:00Brilliant idea, Teresa - choosing to work on the i...Brilliant idea, Teresa - choosing to work on the illustrations as a group and advancing them all in stages. I really look forward to following your progress and your thoughts on whether this approach has its merits. Really digging your goals too - storytelling and cohesion of large groups are both absolute musts for this project - so thank you for articulating that and bringing it very much to the forefront of my mind. <br /><br />Great to see you making your first blog post on our project. I am so excited to be doing this with you and Ben! More sketches tonight for me!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02236942787209864020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998063511496022591.post-753135477918762402011-01-25T01:00:55.749+01:002011-01-25T01:00:55.749+01:00Ooooo...how cool is this???

You will do an excellent job (your imaginative creations are always very good, always charming, and I know the Hobbit work will be good, too).

First, "Congratulations!!"...Dear Teresa, <br />First, "Congratulations!!" on your joining the project. Great. Second. "Not easy, but hang in there." Given time frame is quite tight(*that scares illustratros!) and lots of work amount. Already, you are struggling and still rereading the text. <br />Third. "Stick to your goals!" Smart Teresa has already found the answers for 'how to handle the project' and set them for her goals--that impress me very much. Keep them all. You're gonna be a winner! Teresa, go, Teresa, go!! Please pass my best wishes to your nice friends.<br />Love&Smile, SadamiSadamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15072887743830381833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998063511496022591.post-62958605110630943382011-01-24T23:35:07.206+01:002011-01-24T23:35:07.206+01:00That is seriously cool!
