News and new voting incentives…
First…the new voting incentives.
I was sent an illustration of Felicity that I’m just in LOVE with.
Click for the vote incentive (and of course the rest of the image)
The artist is Tracy Bailey. The creator of Catena!
Tracy is such an incredibly talented artist. You MUST see her work and give her lots of hugs.
The second and third votes are from Karen. She sketched these while at comic con.
I loved them both…but could only afford one of them. Nastajia.
Apparently the Kiwi image doesn’t show up…so here she is…
And for my other news.
My book Pet Robots which debuted (is that spelled right?) in San DIego last weekend was optioned by Disney.

This means it may become a live action movie. Yay.
Â
I’ll keep you all informed of how it goes.
Â
Thanks to Jon Silk from Benderspink who made it all happen….and a big thank you to Eric Suddleson from NFTD (the law firm)Â who had my back and made everything cool.
Those are PERFECT kid expressions…
Awesome news on the option, man! I saw that Moviehole.net popped up an article on just that. 🙂
Those are WONDERFUL news, Scott! It sounds like you could be getting more time for Dreamland if all goes well!
(And for yourself, and to spend with your wonderful family, of course!)
Big congratulations!
…and… not to be a killjoy, but in Karen’s Nastajia sketch (incentive #2), judging from the size of her arms, the (right) glove is WAY too big for her hand…
Sorry Bezman, but the gloves are supposed to be way too big for her hands. Look at her boots. Her feet are a size 6 or so and those boots are a men’s 14… it’s just the style we went for.
Great artwork, Karen, and congrats on the movie option, Scott!
Great news Scott! Was that the news you were hinting at before but couldn’t tell us? 🙂
I wouldn’t be surprised if someone picked up Dreamland for some movie options soon. Could be done as an awesome mix of traditional animation and CGI. Kind of like Wizard of Oz. When Alex is awake, it goes traditional and CGI for all the Dreamland sequences.
Congrats!
Congratulations, Scott, that’s great news on being optioned!
It must also be nice to be getting great art from Karen and Tracy–Now if you can just rub off on Tracy so that she updates more than once a week… 🙂
Keep chugging, your hard work is starting to pay off!!
Congratulations on the movie!
I have a feeling that Nastajia’s going to get a little wet herself 🙂

Silverwolf – Shouldn’t that be Armor Class or Armor Points?
Thanks all!
I’m really happy, and will let you know how things go.
Good luck for the future, I’m sure you will be moving on to bigger things in no time at all 🙂
That is of course if you get that full time editor 😉
