3RD COVER CONCEPT -‘O’DUSARA’ STAGES

Loved doing this one…probably my favourite out the three covers.  No end of trouble caused with the background shifting from a stone and smoke effect layered with a frame of barb wire, to the plain white background with the shards and beams depicting the pumpkin...

O’DUSARA 2ND COVER CONCEPT-‘GATECRASHER’

2ND cover concept, taken from the scene from the night of O’Dusara itself in the 3rd novel.  I thought I’d create the image from Templar’s POV having just gatecrashed proceedings unceremoniously.  The painting itself was relatively straightforward;...

COVER CONCEPT ‘CATS EYES’ ARTWORK STAGES

Here are the key stages for the 1st cover concept for ‘O’Dusara’, taken from a memorable moment early in the book.  A painting that I will forever remember as being straight forward until reaching the last paw, then becoming seemingly impossible to...

EXTRACT FROM ‘O’DUSARA’

Templar Isthmo stood behind the bar counter gazing into the amber liquid in his beer mug, deep in thought as the party swirled and buzzed around him. It wasn’t the first celebratory event the Superjug had hosted at short notice.  Almost a set previous the fight...

…AND BREATHE

Only as high as I reach can I grow, Only as far as I seek can I go, Only as deep as I look can I see, Only as I dream can I be. -Karen Ravn And so the easy part is over for Book3.  Now come the appraisals, the copy-edit, the illustrations, the blurb.  Feel for me; but...

Don’t You Quit

When things go wrong as they sometimes will, When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill, When the funds are low and the debts are high And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest if you must, but don’t you...

ALL HALLOW’S EVE

HAPPY HALLOWE’EN! And so, to my favourite holiday of all, Hallowe’en.  I’ve decided on this gruesome All Hallow’s Eve to post a particularly spooky entry for the Dusani Survival Guide; in the form of this fiendish triple bill: Ghosts, Sylphs...
