More nice work, tallguy! Is your first book doing well?

Update: make a sample Emma's Adventure here.
http://nieko.com/files/emmasadventure.pdfThanks! Okay I guess, trying to become an author is difficult. Self publishing is a great avenue to get things out there but the self promotion bit is not in my nature.
Trying to get into the children's book market is doubly difficult. Everybody has an idea for a book.....
I keep hoping some rich engineer takes a liking to the books and wants to put them in print!
Another thing I think I have to do is produce more content all the time to build up a library and hopefully a small following for the books.
I thought I would make a mini book featuring Emma our dog.
Here is a concept cover, now I need a short story...Thanks again!

My first digital background painting. Nothing to write home about but I like it.
short book here
http://nieko.com/files/emmasadventure.pdfI just had my first run in with an author who totally stole my ideas! Cutthroat business children's books...

Okay, okay, I know enough already we get it, you wrote a goofy children's book, now go away!
Well, the hardest part for me is promotion, it seems I have to get right up to the annoying line without going over...
So how do you promote things? Well I tried a video. (sorry)
thanks!

Hi I'm trying to to combine my watercolour sketches with 3D renders. I think it might make a more appealing children's book, where I mix hard rendered robots with soft backgrounds.
Obviously, I need to really practice my painting skills but what do you think? Does the style have some merit? Better/worse than the fully rendered books?
