Second Cover Option

So here is the basic second cover option, which i believe we both have decided not to use. But my brother will put both forward to the publisher, and we'll see what their experts come back with as far as ideas go for. I also gave him a layout with text and several views/options for the back and front covers. Who knows! In the end, I just hope he is happy with the final book.

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.
