Character designs I did of the kids from A Snake Falls To Earth in 2021! i love this book

#asnakefallstoearth #art
6 characters in a lineup on a muted green background. One is a tiny brown toad, the rest are Indigenous teenagers. The first is tall and androgynous with shoulder length hair and two bird wings coming out of their head, feathers on some of their skin, and an awkward stance. The second is a small boy with cropped hair and glasses, fangs and scales on his skin, in a brown sleeveless top and bag over his shoulder. The third is a human girl, with pink and orange streaks in her hair bun, and yellow singlet and orange skirt. Then there's a girl with coyote ears and straw-like hair, with coyote feet, a red hoodie and navy shorts, and her twin with similar hair ears and feet, in a pastel pink and green dress.

#asnakefallstoearth #art
4 sketches in a pinkish tone of the kids from a snake falls to earth. in one, Nina is standing in a jacket with a cat sleeping over her shoulders. in another, Oli is sleeping on the floor with his head and feet in two cat beds and arms tucked into his chest, with the cat loafing on top of him. Then there's a sketch of Oli crouching down and touching his fingertip to ami (the toad) who is reaching a little foot up like a tiny high five. in the middle is a little sketch of bightest in hawk form and oli in snake form dancing around with wings and fangs out. various sketches in a pinkish tone. In the first, Oli is standing in a dress with arms outstretched while Reign measures him with a tape and some pins. Ami is sitting on a little toadstool between them. There's a sketch of Oli in snake form talking to Ami on a rock. A sketch of Oli in human form talking to Brightest in hawk form, who is sitting on his shoulder with a wing outstretched. There's also a little sketch of oli with his mouth outstretched like a snake showing his fangs.

A young woman stands very still, eyes closed, against a dim greenish-blue sky. A snake glides at her feet. Headphones on her ears connect by a cable to a device in her left hand. In her right hand she holds a book close to her chest. The young woman is brown, the snake is browner, and though you can't know it from the artwork alone, they're an Apache and a cottonmouth, and, once you know that, the illustration is consistent with those facts. At first glance you might think a scattering of yellow bits are stars in the sky, but on closer examination you would see that they're shaped like raindrops, or teardrops. The art style is simple and spare, and the book cover is uncluttered. There's an inset circle saying "National Book Award Longlist," but otherwise the only text is the title and author, "A Snake Falls to Earth; Darcy Little Badger."
