Review of The Clay That Woke

Some nice things said about my art for The Clay That Woke.

Children of the Sun Color Cover sketch

Twisted Menagerie Cover painting progress.

I'll stick this in the garage and let it "cure" for a week before I go back into it for (hopefully) the last time.

Might just about be done with this. coup de grace when I have had more sleep and a fresh pair of eyes.

Twisted Menagerie cover first layer

First Layer, going to let this cure for a week, it's going to be hard not to touch it until next weekend.

Underdrawing for painting.

Board primed and drawing transferred. ready to start laying down some color. I might get to some today. Going to try to keep putting up regular updates on the process, one step at a time.
This stage is pretty loose obviously and I don't spend a lot of time sketching out all the values or a lot of detail. I will refer back to the original sketch as I go.

Umerican Survival Guide update.

 Reid posted a couple of the new scanned images I've worked up for the book covers.

Another version of the City of Poison Cover

I was just having so much fun drawing the cover for City of Poison, an adventure for Johnstone Metzger's Nightmares Underneath, I ended up copying and pasting bits of the best ones togeher. Here are a couple other versions.
You can see the finished versions here: http://nates-notes.blogspot.com/2017/01/recent-book-cover-work.html

Definitely something is trying to give birth here...an interesting offspring of the chalk drawing stuff...the compositions are begging for improvement...
