Seeking illustrators to help design a group wyrm book!

So, I posted this Wyrm version of Goodnight Moon earlier in the writing section: http://cruinndracfarms.com/wyrmforum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1232 and myself and a few others in the forum chat are now planning to make it into a book, with pictures and everything drawn as a group by artists here on the forum. But we need to have people who are interested let us know they want to illustrate. Which is why I am posting this here. We will need about 20 pages illustrated, plus a front and back book cover design. Moongara has offered to draw the inside cover page (title page), so that one is already taken care of. :) The 20 page "total" depends on how we split up the lines of the poem, but if we group it the way I intend, that should be right.

It will end up like this, with each new line of words on a new page:

  • Goodnight Shriekers named for their sound
  • Goodnight Gao-Xings with eyes shut tight
  • Goodnight Felines who see in low light
  • Goodnight Gem Hunters dreaming of shinies
  • And goodnight Puffers with pointy spinies
  • Goodnight Swirlsnouts with mis-matched eyes
  • And goodnight mules with their crazy fun designs
  • Goodnight Leaf Crawlers who love Autumn weather
  • And goodnight Jiao-Di with a pretty little feather
  • Goodnight Anglers with toothy faces
  • And goodnight Avians in high up places
  • Goodnight Mossie
  • Goodnight Qui
  • And goodnight to the Teslas in my PC
  • Goodnight D.
  • Goodnight squirm
  • Goodnight each and every Wyrm


Here are the lines that have not been claimed or assigned yet. These still need artists:
Line 3- Goodnight Tunnellers in the ground
Line 5- Goodnight Gao-Xings with eyes shut tight
Line 9- Goodnight Swirlsnouts with mis-matched eyes
Line 13- Goodnight Anglers with toothy faces
Line 15- Goodnight Mossie

If you would like to help with the book project, let me know here in this topic so I can keep track.

Note to the illustrators
-The final copy of the book will be printed in Landscape format on Letter size paper, so keep this in mind when you are making your designs.

I'd like to take some pages. :D
"Good night gem hunters dreaming of shinies" please!
"And good night puffers with pointy spinies" will be my second choice if we end up not having enough artists and people can do more than one.

Are we to provide the image only and somebody will place them in the book with the text? Or are we doing full-page images with "white space" boxes for the text? (Or is that up to us entirely?)

I will add you to the list then, Shadra! :)

Hmmm. Dunno about the format just yet. Am leaning toward full page personally, but I realize not everyone has the same style with their art and that some people may not like doing a full page or be able to do so. But I am thinking that either way we could get a copy actually printed by a certain printing company near my house. I dunno if they MAKE actual books or not, but they might at least be able to print pages on nice paper and I can get my boyfriend's mom to make it into a book. She took a hands-on book-making course, so I am sure if I ask her for help I can make a cover.

Also, if people want to do traditional artwork for their part and scan it, or just digital art, either works! :)
