BEAUTIFUL New Character Art for My WIP

So a little while back I was given an incredible opportunity to have art done for a character in one of my WIPs in exchange for a spotlight. I chose an old WIP that most of my current readers probably don’t remember since I was writing it in 2020, alllllll the way back when Li’l Izzy was a blogging newbie. It was a YA retelling of “Aladdin” when once upon a time I thought I would be the coolest fantasy author ever.

of course I was wrong, but that’s beside the point

Out of all the projects I wrote back in those days, none stuck out to me more than this WIP did. My favorite part had always been the characters, who were so much fun to hang out with that even now I still talk to them in my head. yes, writers have real conversations with made up people; no, I never said we were sane. So for one of my first character art pieces, it just seemed fitting to choose someone from this old project. Even though most of you have never heard of this character, the artwork is too beautiful for us not to be able to appreciate together.

Before I share it with you (because suspense is ALWAYS fun), I should tell you about who the artist is. Amelia Grace is a dear friend of mine, who’s recently started up an Etsy shop where she sells some of her art pieces and has begun a blog all about ART! Exciting, right? Here’s her bio and some links:

Hi, I’m Amy, it’s nice to meet you!

I’m a Christian homeschooled graduate with a passion for art that’s as strong as my love for books. When I’m not scribbling away in one of my MANY sketchbooks, I can be found painting or reading (or playing Animal Crossing with my sisters which uses neither of those skills)

Whether I’m drawing in pencil, pen, painting or assembling a graphic design I will always be following my passion, and I’m glad I can share it with you!

And now for the moment you’ve all been waiting for! This character art was drawn for the “genie” character in my Aladdin retelling, whose name we are just going to call Genie. 😉
