Is Lady Academy your new project? Cool pic. I like her expression.

Yes, it is hard to find a great client who would stick with you on your work. Some of my clients were not artsy to know the work behind a page and they thought that to make it minimal will cut it.

Unlike my client for Lady Alchemy, she's the best. She's the creator of the project, co-wrote the script and run the production and promotion. She's the model of the main character, Lady Alchemy, also her performance name as a burlesque dancer in NY. So, she would send me photos of her all the time for my reference of the character in the book.

The 40 page book including cover is what I was showcasing here in the thread and I already finished it. Now it's in the coloring and lettering stage.

I have the opportunity to get my artist colleague to do the colors for this piece. It turned out really good and my client was so happy with the result. This was also the final work I did for this project but I was already in talks with my client for the 2nd book which hopefully comes in this year. Looking forward to the next book.

Here's the piece for your viewing. I hope you like it.
