You may remember
how excited I was to do
my first ever bit of book illustration.?
is now published and it's
doing very well, thank you.
It's dark, it's funny
and Oliver is a
wicked charmer.
I've teamed up with the writer.
over at The Narrator's Study
to celebrate the launch of
his novella, by offering a doll
based on the eponymous anti-hero
for my own giveaway.
Giveaway starts here on
Friday 16th May.
Here is Oliver, getting fitted
for his nice white shirt.
My first shirt placket!
My first shirt collar!
I'll be replacing the pins with beads,
for teeny shirt buttons.
And here is Oliver,
without any trousers on.
I don't think he's
very happy about it.
The Giveaway starts officially
on 18th May, but in
The Narrator's Study
Everyone gets a prize!
A Conversation with Oliver
will be free to download,
on 18th May.
Don't have a Kindle?
No worries
Amazon has the app for free,
for PC, Mac, smart phones.
Join the conversation,
read the reviews,
here on Amazon.
He's looking great! You know when I described Oliver as a faceless-killer...this isn't what I had in mind. =)
ReplyDeleteI'm seriously considering making him Amish-style, with no face.
DeleteWell Oliver is looking handsome, can't wait to see him when he's done.
ReplyDeleteJust fitting him for his trousers now *wink*
DeleteClapping wildly~ I am so excited about your new book !
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I do feel a little proprietorial, even though my effort is just the cover.
DeleteIt's a great cover.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I hope there's going to be more!
DeleteI will be excited to see how you see this character! Wonderful undertaking!

Thank you so much. I'm branching out into new territory, making a male doll. This is going to be interesting.
DeleteOliver is coming along. Love is clean white crisp collar and placket. This is going to be interesting.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much! Next, a suit jacket. And then, a trench coat?
DeleteIt will be interesting to see how he turns out! I am excited!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your first book!
Thank you! I'm a little excited, too!
DeleteDoll and clothes making always amazes me! I love his shirt! and seeing the process shots.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! Oliver and I have learned a lot, a lot of strange new things about men's tailoring!
DeleteOh congratulations! This is so exciting. I will certainly mark down the free download ;)
ReplyDeleteYes, please! (I think it's up now, actually, as I'm writing this late at night!)
DeleteHe is looking so cute ;o) This is excellent! So exciting ;o)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Magic Love Crow! I'm glad you think he looks cute. I'm hoping he looks even cuter when he finally scores some hair and some trousers!
DeleteI'm sure Oliver has no problem being without pants. As long as his gun is handy. I love his shirt!
ReplyDeleteNo pants, nowhere to put his weapon. That's what he wears pants for, to keep his weapon handy. There is no innuendo in this comment. Honest.
DeleteBet his shoes will be shining :)
ReplyDeleteOf course. What kind of cool, smooth, urbane hit man has scuffed shoes?
DeleteThis must be so exciting. Have your feet hit the ground yet? I can't believe that's your first shirt. Oliver will be a very stylish fellow, even without pants.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jo! And dear me, yes, this is the first time I've tried to make anything that looks tailored, this small. It's fiddly! At least the model stands nice and still. And now, yes, he has trousers!
DeleteI am so excited for you! And to make a male doll to go with the story is exciting too! I hope I remember to come back on May 18th.
ReplyDeleteHow are you doing, my dear? Sounds like you have been, extra, extra busy, which is awesome!
hugs,
Teresa
Thank you so much, Teresa! This has been all kinds of new, as I've not done any illustration and I've made very few male dolls. On the 18th, I'll come and give you a reminder. This is a project I'm thrilled to be involved with.
