As I've said a billion times, no other IP is as versatile as Godzilla. I'm happy that even though it's taken the audience 70 years, they can see that Godzilla can do it all.
(Needs some Little Godzilla, though)

my half of an art trade with @frillsand of their oc, chantel!!!
i'm terrible with backgrounds so i usually avoid them like the plague. with the art style/coloring shift i told myself that if i'm serious about wanting to eventually do commissions and become a children's book illustrator that i'm gonna need to learn to suck it up and learn this shit LMAO
i'm so so happy with how this came out and i can't wait to work on more shit like it <3<3 thank you again frills for the opportunity!! ⭐

Alterhuman Review: No I Am a Wolf
Tumblr media
Author: A.M. Lang
Illustrator: Patricia Dishmon-Caraballo
Publication Date: January 2022
Official Book summary:
George can’t be bothered with mundane human tasks; he is a wolf. Wolves and kids have many differences but they also have some things in common. Embrace your child’s wild side with this cute story plus animal facts.
So, we've been aware of this children's book for about half a year now. Upon first seeing it, we feared this might be a Johnny The Walrus by Matt Walsh situation. (That is, a thinly-veiled transphobic dig at the existence of transgender people, that accidentally also hits the alterhuman community due to its content, wrapped in the guise of a children's picture book.) But after gathering up courage hope, we finally bought a copy not to long ago. This book is NOT anything like Johnny The Walrus by Matt Walsh. No transphobia here and this book is also accidentally very alterhuman affirming as well.
The book consists of 21 illustrations with text. With each turn of the page the reader sees the left page showing George (the book's character) as a boy having to do ordinary human boy things (brush teeth, put on clothing, bathing, etc.) with text telling George to do said task, while the right page shows a wolf in George's place along with an affirmation "No, I am a Wolf" (usually, several scenes are instead in the positive, "Yes, I am a Wolf") along with additional text saying what a wolf would or would not do. The book ends with George being told: “Good night, my little wolf.”
While the author likely meant to create a cute children’s book showing a child imagining himself as an animal in the way that is common and normal among children, the book also happens to be very alterhuman. As someone who lives with a full phantom body, the illustration of a wolf stuck in situations doing everyday human things, like brushing your teeth, certainly felt very “yeah it be like that.” So, in summary, cute children’s book that is accidentally very alterhuman and is not transphobic at all! Yay!

Here are some of my favorite pages from a children's book I illustrated that was never published. It's been several years since I made these and they are still some of my favorite artwork I've done for a book.

"No. 2 was American, and very cocky. He rode roughly and often came off the rails. I warned him to be careful.
'Listen bud,' he drawled, 'in the states we don't care a dime for a few spills.'
'We do here,' I said. But he just laughed."

This is the first children's book for which I created both the story and artwork. It holds a special place in my heart.
