The Spirit Thief Book Trailer

Apr 26, 2012 14:34

Hi everybody!

I've been working on trailers for the Legend of Eli Monpress series, and I was originally going to post them all at once, but this one came out so good, that I couldn't wait to share it with ya'll. Special Thanks to Books who found the karaoke music in the video, and drew the Eli Monpress bounty poster. She drew the rest of the crew ( Read more... )

You know I love it!! That music really compliments the text and the pictures....It gives it a more modern and suspenseful feel.

You're welcome for the bounty posters - my pleasure! It's a lot of fun, having an excuse to draw the characters, even if Eli did give me no end of a hard time! It stinks that Josef's and Nico's you couldn't use, bucause they were better. ;(

Anyway, I'm glad you posted this - so much fun!

The music is very suspensful, and the karoake version is great because the words really took away from the text!

I know you enjoy drawing characters, (even if they were guys and you always give me no end of grief when you have to draw guys!! :)

Glad you enjoyed!! :)

Hey - remember all those Eli's-in-progress that looked like girls? This is why I don't draw guys.

Ooohkay, now I'm actually sold! I'll have to check out Eli Monpress next time I got to the library. ^__^

You know what, one of the things I do to get a feel for a book I'm thinking of reading is to search fanarts of them in dA. At first I couldn't find anything, because for the longest time, I thought his last name was Moonpress. *sigh* I'm hopeless...

But then I found your video and realized I was spelling it wrong. No wonder. I also found this: http://noiry.deviantart.com/gallery/34776279#/d46we55

which was drawn by one of my fav artists.

Who did you cast as Eli? Kinda looked like the actor for Caspian, whom I adore.

You'll enjoy them!! Eli is Gen's evil cousin, but he does have a good heart underneath it all!

That's a great picture for the Lord of Storms. He's arrogant and cheats when he fights.

Yup, that's exactly who I used for Eli. Books found a post where they were discussing actors, checked them out and told me that he was perfect! Great eye!!
