Fireborn Finished!

I finished up the Fireborn cover today. I also updated my website with both the Lachlei and the Fireborn cover artwork. I'm toying with the idea of doing "mock" up covers in Photoshop for all of the book covers I've done, that would be an easy way to show them "in action" as book covers along side the artwork.

Fireborn Cover Progress

Further work on the girl's hands and such. Also, I did a page of potential title text choices.

Fireborn Painting

More work on the main girl. A lot of fiddling with her face... Next up is a re-visit of her hands and that darn bowl.

Lachlei Final

Just tweaking a bit more. This is 99.9% done now, I swear!

Fireborn

Still far to go on the main girl. I do think it is starting to get somewhere though...

Lachlei Getting Closer to Done

This is nearing the finish line. In the past couple of days I've done a considerable amount of tweaking of the composition, as well as the positioning and poses of the wolves. I've also done a bit of selective blurring, as I wanted a greater sense of motion.

Lachlei Painting

I think I'm finally starting to get the Yeth to work. The initial sketches for most of them were far too stiff and as this is supposed to be an action scene that had to change. Still a way to go yet... but after many many hours and switching from ArtRage to Painter and back to Photoshop, I'm ready to give this a rest for a day or two.

Let There Be Color!

The "colorful" beginnings of the two current covers.
