This morning, I gave an alternative when necessary and described the drawings that I put online to facilitate the accessibility of the site. As you can see, my job as an author is not always to write and look for a publishing house, sometimes I try to keep a certain logic. This allows me to finalize projects and constantly improve them. How should I do for images on a website? When they are decorative, that is to say, they do not provide textual information, it is preferable to leave the alternative empty for voice synthesizers and when there is textual content on the image, fill the alternative with an appropriate text or comment in an external file when the text is too long. In some cases it is also possible to use captions. No one is immune to mistakes, however, doing this is already a good start. See the preparatory drawings of Fantastic L.A.

Characters creation
During the writing process of Fantastic L.A, I drew sometimes elements of the story. To create the fictional character of Hortensia Tercero, I was inspired by the first women’s fencing competitions. The action takes place in the 19th century. Hortensia decides to take a stage coach, firmly deciding to go to the place.

Playing with text
When I wrote Fantastic L.A, I played a lot with the characters and all the objects used to solve the riddle. For example, crosswords. While thinking about them, I did some research and discovered the origin of the first crosswords. On the original document, definitions and a grid. In the center the word : fun (joy in French).
With the definitions of the original document that you will find at the end of my post, I wrote this short poem :
What we all should be ?
A daydream, a pigeon, a part of the ship
What artists learn to do ?
Opposed to less, exchanging the plurial of this
