I am 100% jealous of your art skills Like I know I may have nudged you to do this but you did it so much better than I! Also thanks to you I know watercolor my books 😁 💖💖💖💖
ohhh his wing is relaxed in that picture. or shall we say not fully erect 😄 I have a couple more Rhys pictures in the works with that massive wingspan. don't you worry😁 xx
handwriting isn't an important thing, when writing in a book (or in general), because it's not about the way the words are written, it's about what those words mean and what they're trying to say. so i'd recommend you to still do it if u really want to.
This is beyond beautiful!! I would pay more money for my book if they looked even half as beautiful as you made it!! I am impressed!! You are BEYOND talented!!
Ohmygoodness, it looks gorgeous!! Especially on that blue paper. And OMG, that cover drawing is absolutely beautiful! I love that feyre is painting rhys tattoos and those colours at the bottom are stunning!!😍
this book is stunning, absolutely love it, i love creating, i took a old book and made it into a scrap journal, so many options for what to do, open your mind to new ideas, fantastic idea, thank you for sharing
I loved how beautiful the book looks. You are very talented. I'm the kind of person who (literally) thinks books must be pristine but now I may start writing on them or decorating them. Like you said have your own personal library with your emotions or thoughts in the book. I'm definitely going to start writing on them! :)
This.... IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I love the idea of personalizing copies specially if it is a book you love and it evokes certain feels. I am stunned by how beautiful your copy of ACOMAF is turning out.
Stephanie, firstly I just wanted to say thank you so much for paying me a visit and I was so inspired by your lovely voice in the comments I wanted to pop over as soon as I could. I AM STUNNED. It literally pains me that I can't imitate your skill - your talent is beautiful and I would looooove to see your art all over the covers of my favorite books. I absolutely CANNOT wait to see more of what you do.
aw thank you, Amara! you're the best. I found you through Francina Simone's tweet yesterday, and I'm so thankful she tweeted about you! ❤ and I'm finding this illustration thing to be a little addictive--I'm already planning what to put on other books😂
This is the most astonishingly beautiful thing I have ever seen ! Such great representation of the series, I absolutely love it. You're incredibly talented. Would love to see more of your work ! X
This is so fabulous. I love Charlie Bowater's artwork so much. The front cover actually reminded me of her astronomer painting before you said it! Love the colours on the front cover and LOVE your Rhys drawing *drools* yeah I'm not over ACOMAF. #crying
Can I just say that my jaw dropped and I full on gasped at the beauty of your drawing of Rhysand. I imagined him exactly like that, and its not every day you see a figment of your imagination come to life visually. Thank you for sharing this with me, you have inspired me so much. ACOMAF was honestly the most visually stimulating book I've read in a long time, and honestly I was drawing scenes from it, but never in the actual book where it belongs. I have to try this.
Thank you so much!! and He's finally finished! I'm so glad that you can see your Rhys in there :) (If you want to see how he turned out you can see him on twitter or instagram.) I totally agree about acomaf being so visually stimulating. Nothing makes me want to create like the world of Prythian. I'd love to see your art too! xx
I will definitely check out your instagram!! What I love about ACOMAF is that it just makes me want to draw so I can remember all of my personal interpretations and imaginations. I have never read a book that does that so much! I want to read back and look at my drawings for reference! Definitely going to try this with more of my books, but I think ACOMAF will always have my heart. Thank you for replying :) xx
I've seen your cover before on Twitter, so when I saw this video, I felt like I had to comment and say again how GORGEOUS this is! You're so talented, and this is so beautiful, especially the cover.
This is so GORGEOUS!!! I wish I had even a fraction of of your talent, I would totally decorate mine too. Though I might try it anyway, thanks for the inspiration!
Wow you completely convinced me to mark up all my books instead of keeping them pristine and spotless, I also absolutely love what you did with your copy of ACOMAF, thank you for inspiring me!!!
Came across this video and the first thing I noticed was the cute periwinkle nail polish you are wearing I love and and your art work is beautiful!!! 🙌🏼❤️
I found your channel today and I've got to say, I'm obsessed! you're an amazing AMAZING artist! and you've inspired me to annotate books I adore! I love ACOMAF and ACOTAR!
this is so beautiful, if only all books could come personalised looking like this, it would be amazing, oh how I would pay to have this :) you are so unbelievably talented, that Rhys is amazing
Oh my god that's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Now all I want is for you to work with Sarah J. Mass so we can get that design on all of the books because it's AMAZING!!!!!
This is the gorgeous book i have ever seen oh my lord. i would never have thought that defacing books could make them even more beautiful, even as someone who loves to draw.... wow this really changed my view on writing on books in general wow
Automatically subscribed! This is so cool! Between yours and Jenna's videos, I kind of want to try this with some of my favorite books. Thanks for sharing!
Ah this is so gorgeous! I do this kind of thing in my Bible and have always been an annotator (is that a word?!) of books, but I've never thought of doing something like this. ACOTAR is a great book to start with too because it has so much artistic language in, that's one of the reasons I love it. Thanks for sharing, you've really inspired me.
Yes! Sarah's imagery is so inspiring to me. I don't usually see fantasy worlds/characters so clearly as I do when I read Sarah's writing. Thanks so much and I'm so glad you feel inspired! xx
I absolutely love what you did to the cover I want to copy it but also make it my own at the same time. However I'm not sure what I would do different since I love the way you did yours so much! Also how did you do the moon with those gel pens? it looks great!
Omgs I am so In love with the idea , and of course her drawings are amazingly beautiful and the colors just ugh!!! I need a copy like it right about now!!!! just to die for . I too love to draw and do bookish fan art. But I have a note book for it for my own eyes never really post any but I just might start to at some point if I ever work up the courage. But if I can just get a copy of yours that be great too lol looking forward to seen more of your art.
Thank you!! I hope you do decide to share your work! I used to be very afraid of showing my work to anyone, but it helped me grow so much as an artist to get that feedback from others-- both criticism and praise will inspire you and push you to do better. DeviantArt is a great art community online. Make sure to add me if you ever create an account! I'd love to see your work
This is wonderful! So glad I found you channel!!!! *subscribes* I like to do a lot of Zentangles, and I can't believe I never thought to do them in my books +I was inspired by Ariel's video too- I just love this video and your artwork. Stunning
This is absolutely gorgeous! I wish I had your artistic ability!! I think it's odd that I don't mind writing in books that I don't care too much for, like school books, but even then I'm so hesitant. I often write in erasable pen (but I never go back and erase it LOL) to make me feel a little bit better. But for the books I really like that I read mostly for my own pleasure, I use paper page flags and write my annotations on those!
Don't mind me, I'm just scraping my jaw off the floor. That cover! OH MY GOD! It's even lovelier than the orginial!! I really can't express how much I love it, really you are so talented, I wish I could do the same to my copy (dreamy sigh)
i love it!!! I don't trust myself and art. it can either come out good or bad but i can never control the final product, plus i consider myself a visual artist therefore i would have to construct a person by taking bits and pieces from photos i find. Truly though i wish i had a book with that art.
If you want to try but are too afraid of messing up your library, you could check out a used bookstore! You can usually find great hardcovers for a couple dollars xx
WooooooW! Amazing! You are really talented. Usually people who write on their books spoil them into sth that looks awful but you did the opposite. You decorated them so that they look much better. I think that you take the job from the book cover designers out their because you are way much better than they are.
This is absolutely beautiful! I come from a family of artists and I feel like this is something my mother would do. She'd make it look so pretty. I, sadly, did not get that version of the artistic gene from my family. But keep on going! Can't wait to see what other gorgeous work you come up with. :)
ohmy this is so beautiful and inspiring! love what you did with the cover, never thought gel pens which I have just beside me could be used to make something so cool! would love to see how you deface more books :D
I love that painting on the cover! If you ever make copy's of it and sell it I'm first in line! Seriously this is my favorite book of all time and that is the most beautiful fan art I have ever seen!!!
If you have the talent, go for it. If it is your book, go for it if you want to. It is your choice what to do with your own book. So PLR, with your talent and the book being yours, then go for it. You have amazing talent, and I totally agree that painting by that artist is hauntingly beautiful.
this is awesome! i wish i was gifted in the art department, because i'd totally attempt this!
also you should totally do a video showing your process of defacing a book! would love to see your techniques and what not. :)
Thanks Jesse! I will definitely do that. I'm planning on defacing ACOTAR next, so I'll be sure to record the process!
Please do so!
I would pay so much for you to do something like this to my copy of ACOMAF! I'm drooling.
Thanks so much!! xx
I am 100% jealous of your art skills
Like I know I may have nudged you to do this but you did it so much better than I! Also thanks to you I know watercolor my books 😁
💖💖💖💖
I've been seeing your watercolors on snapchat, the pages look AMAZING! I love your end pages in EoS (? I think) ❤❤
Omg stop
I was totally channeling you when I did it
AHHH RHYS NEEDS A BIGGER WINGSPAN *wink wink* reference to the book. These are absolutely amazing, and I love the ACOTAR series so so so much!
ohhh his wing is relaxed in that picture. or shall we say not fully erect 😄 I have a couple more Rhys pictures in the works with that massive wingspan. don't you worry😁 xx
🤣😂😅
I'm not an artist at all but if I was I would do this. if I wrote on my book it would be insulting the book because my handwriting is that horrid.
Same😂
I would love to do this, but I would destroy them...literally😭
So's mine. You're not alone.
Jordyn LaRee literally me
handwriting isn't an important thing, when writing in a book (or in general), because it's not about the way the words are written, it's about what those words mean and what they're trying to say. so i'd recommend you to still do it if u really want to.
This turned out SO WELL! I have absolutely zero artistic talent but seeing things like this really make me wish I did haha
aw haha thank you!! xx
This is beyond beautiful!! I would pay more money for my book if they looked even half as beautiful as you made it!! I am impressed!! You are BEYOND talented!!
Thank you so much!! xx
If I had your talent, all of my books would have art in them! It's beautiful how it has turned out. Maybe I'll try someday!
Thank you! I hope you do give it a try!! xx
OMG. Stephanie. That is GORGEOUS! If I had that kind of talent and knew it would turn out that well I'd do it with ALL my books!
Thank you!! I'm going to give it a try on some others. We'll see if I can pull it off again lol
i would ABSOLUTELY draw/write in books if i had any hint of artistic skill, but i don't ):
Ohmygoodness, it looks gorgeous!! Especially on that blue paper. And OMG, that cover drawing is absolutely beautiful! I love that feyre is painting rhys tattoos and those colours at the bottom are stunning!!😍
THIS IS GORGEOUS I WOULD 10000% PAY FOR THIS
Thank you so much!
i can't even draw a stick figure nicely. DEAR LORD THIS IS ART. 😭😭❤❤
this book is stunning, absolutely love it, i love creating, i took a old book and made it into a scrap journal, so many options for what to do, open your mind to new ideas, fantastic idea, thank you for sharing
Oh my ...! That's the most incredible Rhys fan art I've ever seen!
Thank you so much! He's finished now and I'm very proud of him so I'm glad to hear you like him too ^_^
This is absolutely stunning!!! I think we are jealous of your skills. So beautiful!!!
i saw a photo of this art of yours on tumblr... it's amazing! and i absolutely think the same way: a written book is super personal!
Oh my gosh! Dat cover though! Whaaaaaaat!! Wonderful job. Stunning.
Beautiful!!!!!
I would totally buy a book that had been decorated like that! Stunning!
I loved how beautiful the book looks. You are very talented. I'm the kind of person who (literally) thinks books must be pristine but now I may start writing on them or decorating them. Like you said have your own personal library with your emotions or thoughts in the book. I'm definitely going to start writing on them! :)
aah that's awesome to hear! I hope you have fun defacing them! xx
This.... IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I love the idea of personalizing copies specially if it is a book you love and it evokes certain feels. I am stunned by how beautiful your copy of ACOMAF is turning out.
Thank you!!
OMG your picture of Rhysand is EXACTLY how I imagined him to look in the books. And the stars and galaxies near Feyre! LOVE IT!!!
Stephanie, firstly I just wanted to say thank you so much for paying me a visit and I was so inspired by your lovely voice in the comments I wanted to pop over as soon as I could.
I AM STUNNED. It literally pains me that I can't imitate your skill - your talent is beautiful and I would looooove to see your art all over the covers of my favorite books. I absolutely CANNOT wait to see more of what you do.
aw thank you, Amara! you're the best. I found you through Francina Simone's tweet yesterday, and I'm so thankful she tweeted about you! ❤ and I'm finding this illustration thing to be a little addictive--I'm already planning what to put on other books😂
This is the most astonishingly beautiful thing I have ever seen ! Such great representation of the series, I absolutely love it. You're incredibly talented. Would love to see more of your work ! X
Thank you so much!! I've been working on some other projects and hope to have more videos soon
Thank you for your reply and yayyy I cant wait ! x
This is so fabulous. I love Charlie Bowater's artwork so much. The front cover actually reminded me of her astronomer painting before you said it! Love the colours on the front cover and LOVE your Rhys drawing *drools* yeah I'm not over ACOMAF. #crying
Charlie is so fantastic!! I don't think we'll ever get over ACOMAF haha. I'm a little terrified for ACOTAR 3. Thank you! xx
Can I just say that my jaw dropped and I full on gasped at the beauty of your drawing of Rhysand. I imagined him exactly like that, and its not every day you see a figment of your imagination come to life visually. Thank you for sharing this with me, you have inspired me so much.

Thank you for replying :) xx
I've seen your cover before on Twitter, so when I saw this video, I felt like I had to comment and say again how GORGEOUS this is! You're so talented, and this is so beautiful, especially the cover.
This is so beautiful, I'm so glad you decided to do this to your copy
Each of these books could almost count as first additions.The books are one of a kind. This is a refreshingly new idea!
Wow. I absolutely LOVE what you've done with your copy!!
I love what you did to your book, that is a beautiful work of art to keep and treasure!
Thank you!
This is so beautiful 😍😍 You're extremely talented and you should do more of them! this is not destroying, this is art
Thanks so much xx
Stephanie, I'm in awe of your talent! This looks BEAUTIFUL! I'm so glad you were able to show this to Sarah at her signing. :)
Thanks Jane!! I'm so glad I was able to make that signing. Sarah is absolutely wonderful and it was so much fun to watch her go through this book xx
WOOWW!! You're art is amazing!!
This is so GORGEOUS!!! I wish I had even a fraction of of your talent, I would totally decorate mine too. Though I might try it anyway, thanks for the inspiration!

I definitely want to do something like this! it seems like fun and making your books more personal is a great idea (: thank you for the inspiration!
Ok so now I'm definitely convinced to buy hardcovers AND to paint on them. Your cover art is so beautiful !
THIS IS GORGEOUS! I so wish I had that talent that I could do that! Holy crap. I can't get over how beautiful that ACOMAF art is
thank you so much!! xx
Holy moley that's beautiful! I wish I had that copy of the bookXD It's sooo pretty!!
Thank you!! xx
Omg this is stunning, absolutely breathtaking!
Came across this video and the first thing I noticed was the cute periwinkle nail polish you are wearing I love and and your art work is beautiful!!! 🙌🏼❤️
That is absolutely GORGEOUS!!! Omg 😍😍😍
I found your channel today and I've got to say, I'm obsessed! you're an amazing AMAZING artist! and you've inspired me to annotate books I adore! I love ACOMAF and ACOTAR!

this is so beautiful, if only all books could come personalised looking like this, it would be amazing, oh how I would pay to have this :) you are so unbelievably talented, that Rhys is amazing
Thank you so much! xx
Oh my god that's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Now all I want is for you to work with Sarah J. Mass so we can get that design on all of the books because it's AMAZING!!!!!
Acomaf is my favorite book of all time and I'm artist in the beginning so this video gave me LOooOot oF motivations. Thank you!🌌❤
OH MY GOODNESS!! THAT IS BEAUTIFUL!!!!
If I had any artistic ability, I would try it myself... but, if I could, I would TOTALLY buy yours!!!
Thank you!!
Ohhhh my gosh, these are stunningly beautiful! You're making me really wish I had some kind of artistic talent so I could do this to my books!
aw thank you! You can definitely find a way to make the book your own! xx
I wish I was that good at art. Love the cover by the way.
Jasmine Dubois the only way you can get good at art is practice. If you don't try, you won't ever get better.
It's so beautiful!!!
You've inspired me. I really want to write/draw in my books too
THIS IS STUNNING !!!! I wish I could draw like you do. Absolutely beautiful!
Holy crap, this is so incredibly gorgeous!!!
Beautiful! You are really talented! I love what you did with the book!
Just gorgeous! Thank you for the inspiration and to add more titles to my library.
Love to hear that! Thank you!! xx
This gave me so much inspiration to do this to my books, which I love very much
This is the gorgeous book i have ever seen oh my lord. i would never have thought that defacing books could make them even more beautiful, even as someone who loves to draw.... wow this really changed my view on writing on books in general wow
Omg this is soo beautifull!! Wish i could draw like that! Can't wait to see how the whole books gonna look! 😍😀
aw thank you! xx
Automatically subscribed! This is so cool! Between yours and Jenna's videos, I kind of want to try this with some of my favorite books. Thanks for sharing!
I can't wait to see what you come up with!! xx

Yes! Sarah's imagery is so inspiring to me. I don't usually see fantasy worlds/characters so clearly as I do when I read Sarah's writing. Thanks so much and I'm so glad you feel inspired! xx
that's so beautiful! amazing art, i love how the sketches match with the book
i honestly gasped. THEYRE BEAUTIFUL. YOURE SO TALENTED!!!
aw thank you so much!! xx
I absolutely love what you did to the cover I want to copy it but also make it my own at the same time. However I'm not sure what I would do different since I love the way you did yours so much! Also how did you do the moon with those gel pens? it looks great!

This is absolutely beautiful. You should contact the publisher. They might hire you to add this to all the books. I would buy it!
You made my heart stop. This is Rhys! I've never seen such perfection. Where is the complete drawing???
Your Rhys is gorgeous! I'm drooling....
thank you!! I try to do him justice :p 💙
This is wonderful! So glad I found you channel!!!! *subscribes* I like to do a lot of Zentangles, and I can't believe I never thought to do them in my books +I was inspired by Ariel's video too- I just love this video and your artwork. Stunning
Thank you so much! I hope you have some fun defacing your books too! ^_^
This is absolutely gorgeous! I wish I had your artistic ability!! I think it's odd that I don't mind writing in books that I don't care too much for, like school books, but even then I'm so hesitant. I often write in erasable pen (but I never go back and erase it LOL) to make me feel a little bit better. But for the books I really like that I read mostly for my own pleasure, I use paper page flags and write my annotations on those!
Thank you!! xx
Don't mind me, I'm just scraping my jaw off the floor.
That cover! OH MY GOD! It's even lovelier than the orginial!! I really can't express how much I love it, really you are so talented, I wish I could do the same to my copy (dreamy sigh)
thank you so much!!
THAT'S JUST GORGEOUS!! My god you're beyond talented ♡
GIRL. Your end pages are amazing. I wish I could draw. I still might try to do something to some of my books.
That's awesome! I hope you give it a try! Thank you xx
Wow this is amazing! Such a cool idea to put the fan art into the book!!!
i love it!!! I don't trust myself and art. it can either come out good or bad but i can never control the final product, plus i consider myself a visual artist therefore i would have to construct a person by taking bits and pieces from photos i find.
Truly though i wish i had a book with that art.
that is absolutely stunning. I cannot imagine a more beautiful copy than what you've done with yours :')
aw thank you so much!!
You are so talented it's unbelievable thank you for the inspiration!
OMG! This is absolutely wonderfull!!!!!!
Wow. Just wow. Never would have thought of this! But your book is absolutely gorgeous now!
Thanks so much!!
OMG, your drawings are absolutely gorgeous and its such an awesome way to make books your own! :D Love this video!
Thank you!! I really love the idea of personalizing your library now-- something I've shunned for my entire life! haha xx
This is so beautiful. I wish I trusted myself enough to do this with my own books.
If you want to try but are too afraid of messing up your library, you could check out a used bookstore! You can usually find great hardcovers for a couple dollars xx
That is a really good idea. Your video has inspired me to keep working on my art, and so I might give this a try.
This is my most favorite thing. Keep going and please keep showing us.
thank you! I will for sure! I'm in the middle of putting an update video together with some footage of meeting Sarah!
your art is GORGEOUS!!!! so beautiful!
WooooooW! Amazing! You are really talented. Usually people who write on their books spoil them into sth that looks awful but you did the opposite. You decorated them so that they look much better. I think that you take the job from the book cover designers out their because you are way much better than they are.
Thank you so much! It would be a dream to create art for books as an actual job :) xx
I would really love to see how your fanart of Rhys will look like when completed, bc it looks amazing thus far! Love it
Thank you!! I'm going to film a little update on the progress! xx
This is absolutely beautiful! I come from a family of artists and I feel like this is something my mother would do. She'd make it look so pretty. I, sadly, did not get that version of the artistic gene from my family. But keep on going! Can't wait to see what other gorgeous work you come up with. :)
Thank you so much!! xx
This is soooo amazing....and I'm so happy that I stumbled over this video
Thank you!!
I am totally in love!!!! This is amazing!
Thank you! xx
This is so beautiful!! Like really beautiful!!!!
ohmy this is so beautiful and inspiring! love what you did with the cover, never thought gel pens which I have just beside me could be used to make something so cool! would love to see how you deface more books :D
Thank you! I hope to have some more book-defacing videos soon! xx
Wouw I'd totally buy this , if it where on sale , gosh your talented !! Love this so much 💛
oh my god! THIS IS AMAZING! I wish I could draw as wonderful as you. It Looks sooo incredibly beautiful!!!!
Thank you!!
I love that painting on the cover! If you ever make copy's of it and sell it I'm first in line! Seriously this is my favorite book of all time and that is the most beautiful fan art I have ever seen!!!
thank you so much!!
I'm speechless and in love with your art.
Thank you so much!! xx
If you have the talent, go for it. If it is your book, go for it if you want to. It is your choice what to do with your own book.
So PLR, with your talent and the book being yours, then go for it. You have amazing talent, and I totally agree that painting by that artist is hauntingly beautiful.
Thank you!! yes Charlie is fantastic!
