Illustrations for Roddy's Book

Well I have no excuse for not blogging more frequently lately, simply saying I've been busy doesn't seem to cut the mustard. I have finished editting my brothers second fantasy novel, and decided to also do the chapter start illustrations as a new and different sort of project.

I actually haven't done any illustrating since college, so it was kind of fun. Of course, my brother has changed his mind about the kind of illustrations he wants for the book (now just wants to illustrate the animales/creatures of the book) thus I'm not so interested. Now I'm more interested in finishing my own novel and illustrating it; perhaps I'm best suited to being in charge of a project.

Obviously I'm inbetween paintings at the moment, and really just don't know where I want to go with my painting either. I'm still at odds with myself, something I have to rectify soon. It's complicated.

Little Brothers Book Cover

Still working on the cover for little brother, not quite done. Made the mistake of painting it size as and on watercolour paper (should have been larger and on illustration board). Paying for both of these now, but still reasonably happy with results so far. Will finish tomorrow, as decided to go swimming tonight.
