well, i just decided to organize and figure out exactly how far along on this i am. for those of you who don't know, i have decided to make a book for Tarja Turunen who is my idol, and whose voice is my biggest artistic inspiration.

i am working on creating a concept piece to go with every one of her songs from her solo album, My Winter Storm, and if time allows, a few Nightwish songs that i particularly love or ones that she has expressed as some of her favorites.

here is a list of the songs and the progress i have made on their accompanying pieces.


I Walk Alone- complete -> [link]
Lost Northern Star->1/2 done
The Reign-complete -> [link]
My Little Phoenix-3/4 done, just needs shading
Boy and the Ghost- done-> [link]
Sing For Me- done-> [link]
Oasis-1/4 done, has some color, no background
Poison- done -> [link]
