Excuse my way of expressing myself. I mean that Neil Gaiman tries to make the fantasy sound something possible and everyday, as in a story that tells that a boy found an ogre living under the bridge and that this creature took on the appearance of the boy, transforming the boy into the new ogre that resguards the bridge while the old ogre leaves.

There are writers who tell stories that are too exaggerated and hard to believe, that's what I meant. Neil Gaiman is more eccentric, dark, than disturbing like the creatures and ancient gods of Lovecraft.

By the way, Coraline is the story of a girl who is ignored by her parents, but when she moves to a new house, she discovers at night a small door in the living room that leads her to a totally different world to her own. Everything in this world looks wonderful, but it has a cost and a creepy truth: The "mother" in this world is actually a witch who wants to transform her into a doll to feed on her essence of life and leave her soul trapped in an object. The witch can only control the things that happen in her illusory world, so she stalk the ignored children and attracts them with promises, to sew buttons in their eyes. Coraline is warned by a black cat of the zone who knows the story, faces the witch when she kidnaps her real parents and defeats her, preventing her from attacking again.

I have tried to show my work (written things and drawings), but the platforms that are supposed to be dedicated to this are full of traps. From putting too many conditions to fulfill, some that do not have the least sense or that are unintelligible, until they drop you without giving you any information, expecting you to pay for "their services" (they do nothing, all the effort and work you have to do yourself, but they "make you" see more attractive to the public that frequents them) or expect to steal an important part of your commission as an artist. The worst is that in this scam has fallen large and famous companies, making you can not trust them at all.

In style, i prefer colorful and delicate things, that know how to tell a story without needing to be bloody. At this moment I'm focused on studying, with my mind set on something that can give me work in the artistic medium.
