My latest sketch before and after painted. This was for reference for another picture book I'm working on. I'm also seeking an agent. & how do you divide your time between getting work done and querying? Need more time.

Still a wip!
Noonas are monsters from the book I'm querying. They aren't hostile, but an aggravated herd's stampede can level a village. The monsters can fly and don't feel pain, making them extremely dangerous when enraged.
They say a noona can read your soul.

Back when I was querying THE STARDUST THIEF I received 2 incredible drawings of my MC, Loulie, from 2 incredible friends. Yesterday, I got to see them again in-person for the first time in years 😭 It was SUCH a joy.

A small update. And I swear the critter (it's a noona, an original monster from the book I'm querying) is an absolute sweetheart.
