Final Cover

Here's the new cover with titles. (Thanks to JC Hutchins for helping out with those!) I'm really happy with it! Also, check out the title cards that I've made for handing out at conventions and so on. Feel free to spread them around your town too! ;)

And here's the final! I'm getting a higher-resolution and a physical print too but here it is!
(Note: You may feel, as I did, that Francis doesn't look like you imagined. That said, the more I look at it, the more I realize, it's just Francis doing his "serious" pose. After all, it's not until he talks that you realize how much of an idiot he is. And Francis is SO the type to walk around wearing solid gold armor.) Anyway, I've got big plans for this artwork in the coming weeks, but you guys get to see it now, you lucky people, you!








Cover Sketch

Here's the first rough of the cover! I like it a lot! Tyrnon's head looks a little more like I'd imagined now, and the layout and everything is just what I was looking for. William is standing a little funny, but maybe he's pushing past some brush or something that would be more clear in the finished drawing. Also, right now it looks a little busy right in the center, but I'm not worried about that because I think once it's colored everything will be a little more distinct.  So basically, I love it!






Nina Kimberly the Merciless

Okay, I like this one a lot. My only real hesitation is that she's a little less... clothed... than I envisioned. That said, she looks pretty good, I think. My one suggestion to the artist was that she be a little bit angrier, or at least, more determined.










King Francis IX of Langia

Another great image. I love how he looks like a character from Masters of the Universe, and the body language is great. I did suggest though that he looks a little bit too old, since Francis is really only in his early twenties.








Tyrnon

This one was tricky, because there are so many different kinds of dragons out there. For this image, I like the body and wings, though I think the skin should be a little more scaly. My biggest comments though were regarding the head and face, because I had always envisioned Tyrnon's head as more reptile-like and less bird-like. In fact, here are a couple of pics of a little figurine I have that I always had in mind while writing. (Tyrnon1, Tyrnon2)






William Lochlan

Yup... That's William. The hat is a little unusual, but otherwise, this is just exactly what I was thinking.
