Hello all - I've made it back safe & sound from the holiday season, without too many scratches (or much glitter) to show for it....hope you have had a good few weeks yourselves! Thanks for reading my poetry, I really appreciate the feedback in the comments & reviews. :)
In other news, I've entered the RR magazine contest with an artsy MC, you might like - It's so far destined to be a shorter work, called IMMORTAL SOLD. The ongoing novel I've been writing is a fantasy/comedy novel. (Think: DnD on Ice) called The Northfell Curse. Thought you might enjoy a brief update on those as well...
More poems soon, but in the meantime, I wanted to share with you a behind the scenes peek at the cover graphics I've been working on, since I've managed to finally add a proper drawing of Autumnus (from The Northfell Curse) to it. This drawing was hand drawn digitally, unlike much of the illustrations you've seen with this story so far; those are mostly all either entirely drawn on paper or sketched with pencil/ink on paper and colored digitally.
Here is the new (drawn) cover for IMMORTAL SOLD & a couple of close-up snapshots mid-process and the final composition for The Northfell Curse: (Because I'm terribly old-school and actually draw stuff by hand...)
The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

Actually...I SAY final, but I noticed I've treated the lighting differently on Tine & Autumnus' face, so I might add more shadows to his, but right now I'm out of spoons, as they say. Thoughts? What do you think?
See you soon - thanks for sticking with Tine & Autumnus for their journey! +kat
