This is a portfolio project from last year! I'm interested in chapter book illustration jobs, so I mocked up the cover and first five chapters of a childhood favorite, Dealing with Dragons.

Dealing with Dragons: Cimorene sketch ^_^

Been re-listening to Dealing with Dragons recently (anyone who knows me knows I will not shut up about how formative this series was for me re: many things but mostly dragons) and so I got the urge to draw Cimorene again (I sketched her like a year or so ago, but can't find it, so I thought a redesign with my new style was perfect!)

Also, my fav book reviewer (I have one of those now?? What??) Just covered the first book of the series, so if you want to check out a great reviewer AND my favorite book of all time, here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMaKkwHQQKM

Not me trying to speak into existence an Enchanted Forest Chronicles graphic novel series that I get to adapt, whatttt noooo... ^_-

BEHOLD!!! my costumes since we can dress up for work this week (arya, cimorene and jude). last ones for a party

[chebira]

I made small sketches with Сimoren from different chapters of "Dealing with dragons". I also wanted to try to draw her with Alianora from chapter 10. but I still don't really like this design of Alianora, so I think I should look for more references for her character.

It is weird, after you have learned something about yourself and/or the world, to come back to a favorite book and see it in an entirely different light.

For example: How many kids books had autistic main characters?

I mean, Amelia Bedelia is obvious. Others have already pointed that out. That woman is not quite functioning in her society, but is getting by just well enough to continue to be paid for her work. 😂

But today I found Cimorene of “The Enchanted Forest Chronicles.”

First- you should read these. They are a funny take on “fairy tale tropes,” and despite being what I would call middle grade reading level, they are well written and interesting enough that my entire family (all now adults) keep a copy of the series on our shelves to reread whenever.

But also- this girl looked at Princess etiquette, said “well that looks boring” and learned sword fighting and magic instead. Anytime someone says “But it isn’t DONE,” she argues, “but… I am a Princess. And I do it. So clearly, it is?”

She keeps finding “logical solutions” to her problems, then getting fed up that everyone is confused by her because they aren’t the “socially acceptable” solutions.

The girl WANTS to spend her days organizing a library, organizing a dragon hoard, cleaning swords until they are shiny, and finding new recipes to try in the kitchen. 😂 At one point, someone pisses her off, and she polishes swords until she feels better.

She is always very careful to be “polite” and to learn all the rules of being polite wherever she goes because she doesn’t wish to offend anyone or hurt their feelings, and so in quick order knows more about Dragon society than princesses who have been there for months. She makes friends more easily if they work on a project together rather than just conversation, and honestly seems to hate small talk.

Idk, it is possible I am projecting (not diagnosed, but fairly convinced) but the way she interacts with the rest of the people around her is reading “high functioning autism” to me, or at the very least something neurospicy. She doesn’t seem to have the forgetfulness of ADHD. She REALLY enjoys organization.

Anyone have any other neurospicy main characters they have noticed? We should start a list. 🤩📝
