Cover For Jon Done

Pending my friend Jon who this is for OKing it, here is a bad photo of the finished cover for his story. I will post a link to the eBook when he has it up! This is "Prophet & Loss", 10 x 16, Acrylic and Prisma Color on Canson board. Prints available (if Jon says it is OK and once I have better pics of it). Picture 4.

 

Next Cover Layers and Layers Latter

This is many more steps into the picture than the last one and it has many layers more than last time. I still have many layers to go before it is done. I will be adding glowing bioluminescents on the cave walls and roughing up the dress. But I have done allot and wanted to record it at this step.

Next Cover Step 2

I am happy with the way this is heading now. Got paint on the board and I think this is going to be dramatic and work well as a cover. So, here is the next step in the progress of the cover for my friend Jon's story.

Another Cover

My friend Jon has asked me to do a "cover" for his story that h will publish as an Ebook so we have been going back and forth to work out the right concept /design. This is about the 4 version, but it is the closest to right so far. It is all one color really but the scan was done in two parts an since it is just a preliminary I have not worried about it not being perfect. So Here is Jon's story cover sketch one!

Finished Cover Finaly

I have been given the go ahead to post the finished cover I had been doing and had shown most of the steps for here. This is the cover for "Gods of Crystal, Gods of Dreams" by Sally Fink. http://www.lalloure.com/index.html Her version of the cover is cropped to match her first cover art so you will see a slightly different version on her page than the full picture I show here. Picture 2 of the year. Prints available.

Head Case

I am trying to design new coronets for a Barony in the SCA and while I like the designs so far, it is a bit frustrating trying to not break rules that we should not have to deal with...anyway, here is the first and second basic design. They are both very rough but get the design across. They will be leather with shaded gold when finished. I like the top one best but due to perceived issues the bottom one is more likely to be what I use.
