Every illustration in this project is painted by Scott Wiser in Procreate and Photoshop (avoiding the generative tools).

Scott made a vow in this project (and beyond) to completely avoid using generative A.I. even in my search for inspiration and reference (which was a challenge when searching through saturated online image websites - we're looking at you, Pinterest!). Scrolling past all of the slop, even when an artificially generated image resembled the vision in my mind, resulted in some surprising and fun creative decisions. 

Because of this, I make great strides as an artist and even found ways to do illustrations twice as fast, then three times as fast, all by combining real-world skills in inventive ways.

Here are screenshots documenting the process on one of the most challenging illustrations:

As for the test of the book, I ditched Grammarly, which I used on former projects and found less helpful than hoped. Instead, I utilized human beta readers, native Indesign spellcheck, a open source non-ai spell checker called Harper, and soon we have human proofreaders ready to help. 

We'll ask for the spelling of your name in the survey at the end, with the option to decline, of course.

Once the campaign ends on March 24th and the funds are collected, we will also collect shipping funds based on the following rates. 
US - $10 per order
Canada - $15 per order
South America - $22 per order
Rest of the World - $50 per order

As a reminder, Shipping will not be added to your order until the end. 
Thanks!

Whether you pre-order these books and join this journey, or simply watch this video, my wish for you is the same. That we all find the greatest thriving and flourishing possible – even through the dark times. For this is the belief, hope, the love that I seek to pour into every single one of animated feature film pitches, especially this trilogy. So until our paths cross again. thank you for your time, your attention, and I hope we all get … a little Wiser.
