The Lunar Chronicles Sticker Entry by TheArtistLibrarian on deviantART

As promised, my design for Marissa Meyer's The Lunar Chronicles sticker design contest.  I wasn't selected as a finalist, but I had fun coming up with my "word art" inspired design.  I haven't worked digitally in awhile and I forgot a lot of stuff (plus I was working in Photoshop a bit more than I have before).  It made me want to make some blends/collages for my computer desktop wallpaper (maybe How to Train Your Dragon 2 themed).  Voting is closed, but you can look at the finalist entries on Marissa Meyer's blog.

I chose words I thought were unique to the TLC world[s], and that described the series and main characters such as Cinder, Kai, Cress, Scarlet, Winter, etc. I originally wanted to use a symbol for each titular female, but ultimately I decided to only choose the slipper to represent Cinder, since it is an iconic part of her cover and she is the main protagonist of the entire series.  Analyzing it now, I think my design is a bit too busy for a 1" - 3" sticker, I don't know if the words would be able to be read that small, but I might expand it into a wallpaper later.

Edit: Whoops, well ... this was going to be a Wordless Wednesday but I forgot to click "publish" after scheduling this post, so, let's call this Fandom Friday? =P

So excited for this weekend!

In the mail today, I got Prelude for a Lord by Camille Elliot!  Camy Tang's first historical (written under a pseudonym) is a Regency, one of my favorite time periods, so I can't wait to get started on it.  But first, I'm working on finishing my entry to Marissa Meyer's Lunar Chronicles Sticker Design contest which is due tomorrow.  I've never designed a sticker before, but I thought I'd give it a shot even though there's less than a day to enter.  I'll post my finished design later in the week.  Meanwhile, you can check out the entries so far on Marissa Meyer's pintrest page.

I had an amazing week as one of the admin staff at my last summer camp of the year, but now I'm back and ready to blog! 

What was the last thing that excited you from the mail?  Have you ever entered an art contest?
