Thanks for the update gothicsugar. How much is the regular price for the books if we want to order more?

You're welcome, Ponyfan.  They'd be $18 each.  If you've ordered already the shipping fee will be lowered to accommodate for combined shipping.

[Ponyfan]

Any new updates?

Hi, Ponyfan.
Yes, I was just answering a message about that.  The books will be shipped in March.  I'm getting the covers and proofs finished this month.

I realized I had never given the ship time so that people would know when to expect it.

[Ponyfan]

Thanks gothicsugar. I know these will be worth waiting for.

Thank you.  I think next time though, I plan on making this a series, that I'll finish the books and open preorders when the proof is done.  I feel like I'm holding stuff ransom and hate to keep people waiting.

 But here is a preview of the front cover.  I finally figured out who to do.

I picked Sundance because I feel like she's who a lot of people picture when they hear My Little Pony.

I'm adding the front and back covers to the interior of the book to go from 16-18 colorable illustrations.
The back cover will stay a surprise.  I'm so excited to be finishing this right now.

That's adorable! I don't feel like I'm being held hostage- good things are worth the wait. If I AM being held hostage, I would like more cookies and warm milk, or I will start to bang on the bars with my tin cup.

I would also like a tin cup, please.

I'm really excited to see how these turn out- it sounds like a lot of effort- thank you for going through all the trouble!

[Ponyfan]

I want milk and cookies too.    and some popcorn and extra blankets.  I think Sundance was a great choice for the cover. I can't wait to see the finished book.

Thank you both.  It was a lot of work, but it was also a lot of fun to do; so I'm definitely going to work on another one.  It'll be summer themed which will include some of my personal favorites.  And while I can't promise milk and cookies, or even the tin cup, I may sneak something into the bonus pieces I'm working on now for all of you who preordered.

The proof will be here tomorrow.  I've also been testing my paper that I use for traditional art and am doing a versus sort of thing.  I kind of like my paper better which will make the books ultra thick since they'll be one sided pages kind of like an art pad, but I think it would work better for the sake of having paper thick enough to stand up to markers without bleeding.  They'll do that anyway, but then you'll also have the option of hanging your pages up after you're finished if you like.  Pics will be up for them on Sunday.

[Ponyfan]

I can't wait to see the pics.

Okay, there aren't a ton of pictures because I actually did a video.  Please be sure to check it out for a look at the interior pages and to comment with your thoughts! https://youtu.be/owpVBJtdOjM

Wow. I love the video.  I voted for large one sided pages.

Thank you.    It turned out to be the popular vote so I picked up some more paper.  Also, here's the final update copied from the first post.

Final Update!  Corrections made, books are printing and I will be binding and shipping this week.  Stay tuned for your tracking numbers.  I'll be pm'ing everyone this week.  Last book and pm should be sent by the 14th.

Yay! I'm so excited to get these.
