I Am Otter x Prep and Landing.

When a heatwave hits on Christmas Eve, an otter races to save the snow on his roof to ensure a safe landing for Santa. If he fails, the otter will face a sacrifice to save Christmas.

@prey_the74355 Sounds great, good luck today!

@estywrites If an agent like a picture book, but turned an author down because they didn't have enough books in their portfolio, and said author had written more books, how should the author handle that resubmission? Send the origonal book as a query and say have more? Or multiple at once?

I Am Otter x Prep and Landing.

On the day before Christmas,
an otter will devise,
a plan to save Santa,
when the temperatures rise.

Also, someone like Scarlet Witch, who can warp reality with a word, would really cause issues for Omni-man. We're talking about a person who removed all mutant powers by just saying "no more mutants." Spiderman wouldn't be able to solo Omni-man, but Scarlet Witch probably could.

[Andrew Whitesell @wordsfromandrew]

I see a lot of people saying Spiderman would beat Omni-Man in the comments. Don't think that would happen, but Marvel would win. Spiderman I don't think would match up to Omni-man all that well...

How would this end?🤔

[Andrew Whitesell @wordsfromandrew]

There are also other powers in the Marvel universe that, though they don't match up to a weakness, might be problematic for Omni-man. Professor X would probably do a lot of damage. Dr Strange would also probably be able to cause a lot of issues with his magic.

Working on sketches for my next otter picture book, like thr way this one turned out, thought I would share it. #WritingCommunity

Also, here's "Megaman," Pikachu, and Fox McCloud. Honestly, That megaman is a good example of why I'm not too concerned about AI. I tried thinking of multiple ways to get it to know his hand was supposed to be the gun, but it just didn't seem to understand.

Thought I would play around with Dall-e and asked it to recreate some video game characters. The results are interesting. Some, it clearly knew what I was describing (Mario), some were just off (Yoshi), and others were kinda of cool (Chrono and Link). #AIart

@MagicalHippo In the programming world it would be a reversion, lol.

I've seen a lot of agents closing for subs recently until after the holidays. They normally do that to catch up on their in box before the holidays. Hopefully you'll get some responses in a bit.

Figured a pirate deer would have a deer skull on it's Jolly Roger. #picturebook #sketch #iamwriting

I'm not doing #NaNoWriMo, my current projects are all children's picture books. I have 4 that I need to illustrate, so my November will be drawing month.

[Andrew Whitesell @wordsfromandrew]

Happy Halloween! Thought I would share a sketch of my latest project, a children's book about a deer who thinks he's a pirate. #HappyHalloween

@CraigGerber_ Will be spending the next month trying to figure out the deeper meaning of #carmageddon while my 1yo jumps up and down to the theme song...

I'm fairly certain #firebuds is just a prequel to #cars, but the humans just haven't experienced whatever cataclysmic event that wipes them from the face of the earth yet.
