My Illustrated Fantasy Novel: Kickstarter Behind The Scenes

[@naomivandoren]

It's crazy to think this project is now out in the world. Thank you all for coming along for the beginning of this crazy journey. Here's to the rest of the series! What are some of your favorite illustrated novels?

[@naomivandoren]

Aww thank you!

Cooor it’s been a long time since seeing you. Congratulations on the release of your new book. The illustrations look beautiful xxx

[@naomivandoren]

I know! Covid hasn't made for a great video environment with a shared studio but it has made for some great "behind the scenes" work time like shipping out a book. I'm happy to share this book with the world at last! Thank you!

I thought I was already subscribed to you so I didn’t realize I missed videos of yours. This is so exciting and EXACTLY what I want for my book someday. I still have a long way to go but its so cool to see yours!! Congratulations!

This video was so helpful. I'm wanting to publish my own graphic novels at some point and so many things about it scare the living daylights out of me. One of them being what happens when people really like your stuff and then you have to fulfill such a large order? You seem to handle it pretty well and it's inspiring to see that it's doable. Thank you so much for sharing your journey.

[@naomivandoren]

I suggest starting with small projects before diving into really large ones like this - my first art book was just a pre-order on my website with just a few hundred orders, I worked up from there. Best of luck!

[@AureliaVel]

@@naomivandoren Thanks for the suggestion! I will try. ^_^

OMG! I was looking for this exact type of video. I'm a writer and amateur artist looking to combine my talents to create something truly...different. Thank you for sharing your process.

The book looks awesome, love the color pallete. What kind of pen did you use at minute 6:59 cause it looks like watercolour brushwork but is digital isn t it? Congrats for the book and intensive work you’ve done!

[@loumarich3562]

Wonderful job! What size is that book, 8x10 or executive format?

[@psychotech3927]

I've been trying to something like this forever.. however.. never could find anything specifically for this publishing wise. It's either Comic or Novel. no way to find out how to get an idea on what to do. wanted to do this on Amazon KDP. but no real category for this. closest is children's picture book... which it is not.
