Artist's Comments

This year, I thought I would try making bookmarkers to sell at my table at the conventions I'll be going to, but I wasn't sure of what I should do.

Someone mentioned about making them monochromatic (like my colourful furry fems), which was a neat idea, but I didn't know what I should have them be.

Then I remembered an old cartoon show I used to watch when I was a kid, called "The Adventures of the Little Prince". In the show, the Little Prince had a Rose Girl...which was one stem of a red rose, with a little person living in the centre of the rose.

So the two ideas clicked together, and this is what I came up with :)

...and of course, went dealing with colourful roses, you *know* I'm going to have one of them going to be blue ;)

I'll see if I can have these made into laminated bookmarkers; the originals (which is all one sheet of bristol board), will be speciall matted and offered up for sale in the AnthroCon Art Show this year. These look sooooo much nicer in person...Photoshop has killed a lot of the lighter colours in this :(

9x12" Bristol board; inked with Micron marker pens, coloured with Prismacolour Markers and pencils. Each bookmarker is 6x2". I used removeable tape to put an "edge" around each of them, so there wouldn't be any lines boxing them in.

Oh those are so cool!! I think they will be a hit on the conventions, I know I would want one.
I think you would especially make money if you had some templates to fit custom designs, but I bet that is pretty hard to do. Awesome!

*nods* I've got some blank bookmarkers that I would offer to draw the person's fursona in the bookmarker, but it's extremely rare that I get a commission to do those O.o Most people would rather a sketchbook drawing or a conbadge over my custom bookmarker commissions :(

I might sell a set of them on FurBid after the summer conventions are over with :) I'll most likely be announcing it on my journal here if I do that :)

I was hoping to get a look-see at what you had mentioned in your journal!

Gosh, these are SO wicked.

I love the blue rose. XD
:iconrazzek:
Wow, these are really cool and really pretty! You've got some awesome coloring skills. Also: what a neat idea!

Nice... and in a not-so-scary way, remind me of the Venus Weeds from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Castlevania fans will know what I'm talking about.
