Cory and the 7th Story Update
Back in December I previewed for you a new project that I am working on called Cory and the 7th Story. I shared with you the characters, some environment studies and even the character's little homes. Since then I have been working on the story board and roughing out the pages. I am at the color roughs stage and hoping to have these finished by the end of the month (Yikes, that's only a few days away!) I thought you might like to see the characters I introduced you to in a few scenes with a little narration from the story.
Cory is a little raccoon who loves to read stories.
He loves all kinds of stories, but mostly he loves stories that end with "happily ever after". Cory lives in the old village, along the clear stream, near the edge of the deep forest, within the broad meadow with his woodland friends.
Normally the old village is a happy place. But recently, Cory's friends don't seem so happy. Some seem scared, like rabbit, and try to run away.
Others seem conniving and try to drive others away.
Still others seem to fight all the time...
This makes Cory very sad and he doesn't know what to do. Why are his friends not happy?
That is till a poet came to town one day. The poet was a creature that no one had ever seen before and she seemed to have magical words.
The poet shared a story that no one had ever heard before...the animals were amazed. And then.....
Well, what do you think? Wanna read it? Keep coming back, I'll have more to share and maybe even a surprise from the story!

Life is very busy right now, and I haven't had time to post much. I came across this little piece of art and quote and it was a reminder to me of those moments in life that get squeezed out when you are busy, and really and shouldn't.
So thank you to Thepicsees for their art and this great reminder. If you'll excuse me now I'm off to read a good bedtime story.....
