Galadriel sketch, newsletter, artbook, and pin updates (Patreon)

Two new Patrons - welcome, Erik and Marie!

I finally managed to do the sketch for Nichole's commission! >3 Really looking forward to painting this one. 

I nudged the pin company who should have delivered the Maedhros pins by yesterday, and they finally answered that the pins would arrive next week. Sigh. Keep your fingers crossed that they're a lovely as they deserve this time! I had hoped to have them this week, to have an actual comparison between them and the company that has done all the other pins. The next convention - Tolkien Tage in Geldern - is in four weeks, and I want to have the new designs made by then - but with this first company, that's never going to work in time, even if the results are good. And since the other has been totally fine, I ordered the next batch with them today - Fingon, Finrod, Maglor, the Eagles, and Glorfindel. :) 

The pins have been a lot of work, but also incredibly popular! My Etsy sales basically exploded, and I can actually pay for the new batch with the earnings of the old. But then there's probably going to be a bit of a pin pause. The next project is going to be the artbook! 

Question: When you read an artbook, obviously you're not expecting hour-long reads - but what sort of reads do you like to see? More in-story things, or something about the creation of the piece, and the artist's point of view?

I've also made a newsletter! Or rather, I'm going to. If you'd like to subscribe, you can do that here:  https://tinyletter.com/JennyDolfen
