I'm working on a few covers right now. I'm hoping to have them done in a few days. One is the sequel to Winter Prey. The other is a mystery/romance/historical (little bit of everything). I've been having some trouble with that one since the author wants it to look painted. My old version of Corel Painter 4 Essentials is doing an awful job of it so I'm looking for some other program options.<br />
<br />
I also lost the majority of my work files a few weeks ago due to a massive hard drive crash. I was able to recover a good chunk of my files, including pictures & documents. But all of the work files from 2010 to 2014 are gone. So...if anyone needs stuff updates I'll have to completely redo the cover in order to work on it. Joy. The lesson learned here is that you can never have too many backups.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15858566790932011364noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8467864645377802790.post-10424516523238303402015-10-06T10:07:00.001-07:002015-10-06T10:07:46.886-07:00A Diplomatic Death eBook Cover<a href="http://pre09.deviantart.net/c8f1/th/pre/i/2015/227/1/b/a_diplomatic_death___ebook_cover_by_policegirl01-d95sqwd.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://pre09.deviantart.net/c8f1/th/pre/i/2015/227/1/b/a_diplomatic_death___ebook_cover_by_policegirl01-d95sqwd.jpg" height="400" width="257" /></a>I liked doing this one since it was for a spy thriller/mystery, and I've never done a cover for one before. The hardest part was trying to find someone that looked like a government agent who wasn't holding a gun. I ended up have to clean up some of his facial hair and darken his goatee in some. I also thickened his hair too. After playing with the font for a while, I went with the red text for 'Death'. I figured that it would help draw attention to the cover.<br />

me a long time to get it done. I originally had my sister-in-law and

the Dead Companion series by <span class="username-with-symbol u"><a class="u beta username" href="http://syccas-stock.deviantart.com/">syccas-stock</a><span class="user-symbol beta" data-gruser-type="beta" data-quicktip-text="Beta Tester" data-show-tooltip="1"></span></span>

I are so thankful that she gave us permission to use it.<br /><br />I also learned something very, very important: I absolutely hate painting/drawing hair. PERIOD. I even broke out my <span>Intuos

using my tablet for most of the work for a change...something I never do
since I'm too used to using the mouse.

We had some nasty storms come through a few hours ago. The rain has been
stopped for a while but it's still very cloudy, giving this very
beautiful sunset. Everything was in an orange haze, and the further
your moved away from the sunset, the blue was very vibrant. The picture
overall doesn't do the colors justice...but this was the best one out
of the group I took. The others kept coming out blood red due to the
way the light was filtering.<br />
<br />
The only edit I did was to use Worm Wire to remove the power lines, which were running across the middle of the image.<br />

C L is fixing to put MP-1 up for print on CreateSpace, so here is the
full sized cover. There were a few changes made, primarily adding in a
spaceship & adjusting the size of the title. I left the original
solar flare in place to account for the lighting on the ship. Now they
can double as laser blasts.<br />

I already have a few cover that I'm starting some prep-work for, and there are several that I know for sure that I will be doing during the year.<br />
<br />
As far as conventions go, I've gotten a weekend pass for Who Fest 2. I want to get a rent table, but I don't know how much they will be right now. I also don't know if I will have much else besides the leftover FenCon posters...mostly due to time constraints & table info limbo.<br />
<br />
FenCon will also be a go this year too. I am planing on having buttons of varying sizes this year, possibly some books of authors I've done some covers for (possibly C.L. Smothers & Alexander Fernandez), steampunk jewelry (made by my mom), and some crochet/arm knit things in Doctor Who colors/theme. <br />
<br />
I will also have some things out at the Beckham Spirit Fest too, but probably not a whole lot.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15858566790932011364noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8467864645377802790.post-72721904163363289412015-01-18T17:21:00.001-08:002015-01-18T17:21:34.626-08:00Beware a visit from Gryla!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<i>Meet<i> </i>Grýla, mystical giantess of Iceland & mother of the Yule Lads. She devours naughty children.</i> <br />
<br />
I
had originally wanted to do the Yule Lads, but I got flooded with last
minute commissions & my daughter got sick (then passed it on to
me)...so I didn't have anywhere near the amount of time to work on the
project. Yule Lads next year, I promise. I'm not overly familiar with
the legend of Grýla, and there really wasn't much about her online as
far as how she would look. I ended up crossing her between the newer,
old lady/witch version with the horned oger pics I found. It's still
missing something, so I may make a few changes later.<br />
<br />
Icelandic Translation: Beware a visit from Grýla! (I used Google so it might be way off)<br />

This one was a fun one since I hadn't done a steampunk cover before.
The story itself isn't very heavy as far as stempunk goes & focuses
more on the hell hounds/dark stuff, so I wanted the cover to reflect
that. I met the wonderful Evremonde VonWare at FenCon in September,
when T.M. first started working on the story, and she was very excited

I'm taking pre-orders on the Doctor Who poster prints I'm having done
for FenCon. They will be mailed in a flat mailing envelope using
<a href="http://joodlez.tumblr.com/post/11123957721/people-dont-like-creases-in-posters-i-know-that" target="_blank">Joodlez's shipping method</a>. That way it will keep the cost down (because tubes are super
expensive) and the posters shouldn't get creased. <b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>At this time, I will be shipping to US only.</b> Depending on how well they sell, I may open to international orders later.<br />

I couldn't resist doing a Doctor Who themed piece for FenCon this year.
I initially planned on just having a general TARDIS pic, but at some
point the lighting coming out of the windows ended up looking a lot like
a regeneration. I find this ironic since we are getting a new doctor
later this month, but I've been left at a total loss of what to call it.<br />
<br />
The
overall process was fun, and I really enjoyed making the gas giant. I
wanted to put rings around it, but could never get them to come out
right. The most tedious work was the TARDIS. The base image, while a
police box, looking nothing like it does now. I made the top signs
& the door sign. I had to completely redo the front doors but
copying the visible side panel and adjusting it to fit. There is a
side-by-side comparison on my Facebook page if you want to see it. <br />
<br />
Funny
story: the comparison pic caused some hilarity. My friend's sister
saw it after he shared it on his page. She glanced at it and thought
that the 'before' pic was taken in my backyard (the fences look
similar). She immediately came running over with her phone to take
pictures of it. Her trip resulted in being barked at by my dogs. <br />
<br />
There
will be a canvas print available for sale at FenCon in the art
auction. I'm looking into getting some small posters printed as well to
sell at my table. <br />

I was on vacation last week, and got a chance to test out the new lens
on something other than squirrels. This guy was overly friendly, but
had a sadistic streak a mile long. He let me walk right up to him and
take pictures. He seems to like the attention and was preening. When
he realized that I was going to follow him around, he started moving up
and down the fishing pier. At one point he flew off into the water by
the shore where my family was sitting on a bench. After I trudged all
the way back down the pier and almost to the bench, he flew back to the
pier...making sure to fly directly over me along the way. He was a smug
little bastard when I got back over to him. The guy fishing at the
other end of the pier was laughing.<br /><br /><br />Location - Port Aransas, TexasAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15858566790932011364noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8467864645377802790.post-75904096901114003122014-07-11T16:05:00.000-07:002014-07-11T16:05:20.188-07:00Grassman Process ImagesHere is the work progression on the Grassman for the <i>Dead Man Ohio</i> cover. Most of the detail work that went into it was lost once I covered over to the cartoon look, so this way you can see what I did. These are all screencaps that I was sending to T.M. so she could see the work I was doing. If you have any questions about what I did, feel free to ask in the comments.<br />

I love doing the covers for the <i>Dead Man Mysteries</i>....especially
when I get to turn my own husband into an Ohio Grassman. The majority
of the detail work I put in was lost when converting it into the cartoon
style, but I have several progression images for that which I will put
up on my blog later so that you can see it. It was a huge hit with
everyone, and my sister-in-law included one of the preview pics in her
computer class final project much to the amusement of her teacher.<br /><br />The
pig was actually T.M.s' son's pig that I went out and took photos of.
It kept running away from me, probably because I looked at it like it
was a pile of bacon, so it took a bit to get a few pics. I also edited
out a lot of the branding on the police car.<br /><br /><br />Kindle Link: <i>Coming Soon!</i><br /><br />T.M.

CL is working on getting The Wormhole Project ready for CreateSpace
printing, and he wanted the cover to match up more with MP-1. I used
the same planet, background & moon from the MP-1 cover, and created
the wormhole by distorting the nebula background in a separate layer.<br /><br />The
hardest part was finding the astronauts and satellite that was needed.
I eventually stumbled across Dollar Photo Club, a new stock site. I

Here is the first half of a commission order for <i>Tears for a World</i>.
It the first in a fantasy trilogy that will be available in eBook &
print (CreateSpace). This one was a lot of fun, especially since it is
my first hard-core fantasy design. This took a lot longer then normal
because of trying to get the woman in the tree to blend it (I had to
start over several times) & because I had to make the dress. I'm
not used to using my sewing machine, so it took me a bit to get the hang
of it. The dress was made for a Barbie doll and modeled on one. I
originally tried painting the skin on it due to the difficulty of
finding a model. It ended up being too bright and not meshing in well
at all, so I went back to looking for some model stock.<br /><br />I also
diverged a bit from the norm and used Perfect Effects 8 to help bring
out the shadows, detail & to give it an overall surreal/fantasy
look. <br /><br /><br />Full Sized Cover - <a href="http://policegirl01.deviantart.com/art/Tears-for-a-World-Full-Cover-454489580">policegirl01.deviantart.com/ar…</a><br />Amazon Link - <i>Coming Soon</i><br /><br /><br /><b>Stock Used:</b><br /><br />Background - <a href="http://elandria.deviantart.com/" target="_self"><img alt=":iconelandria:" class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/e/l/elandria.gif?3" title="Elandria" /></a> <a href="http://elandria.deviantart.com/art/These-Wild-Woods-9-UNRESTRICTED-268153459">elandria.deviantart.com/art/Th…</a><br /><br />Foreground & Tree - <a href="http://elandria.deviantart.com/" target="_self"><img alt=":iconelandria:" class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/e/l/elandria.gif?3" title="Elandria" /></a> <a href="http://elandria.deviantart.com/art/These-Wild-Woods-6-UNRESTRICTED-267893643">elandria.deviantart.com/art/Th…</a><br /><br />Sunbeams - <i>hand drawn</i><br /><br />Ivy -<a href="http://mysticmorning.deviantart.com/" target="_self"><img alt=":iconmysticmorning:" class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/m/y/mysticmorning.png?2" title="mysticmorning" /></a> <a href="http://mysticmorning.deviantart.com/art/REAL-IVY-PLANTS-PNG-289793262">mysticmorning.deviantart.com/a…</a><br /><br />Woman in Tree - <a href="http://mjranum-stock.deviantart.com/" target="_self"><img alt=":iconmjranum-stock:" class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/m/j/mjranum-stock.jpg" title="mjranum-stock" /></a> <a href="http://mjranum-stock.deviantart.com/art/Parts-12-77924530">mjranum-stock.deviantart.com/a…</a><br /><br />Skeleton Woman Base Model - Dreamstime <a class="external" href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.dreamstime.com/stock-photography-beautiful-woman-sexy-long-dress-naked-back-image29186462">www.dreamstime.com/stock-photo…</a> <br /><br />Hair (Skeleton Woman) - <a href="http://cindysart.deviantart.com/" target="_self"><img alt=":iconcindysart:" class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/c/i/cindysart.jpg?3" title="CindysArt" /></a> <a href="http://cindysart.deviantart.com/art/Hair-Stocks-259532943">cindysart.deviantart.com/art/H…</a><br /><br />Skeleton Parts - <a href="http://markopolio.deviantart.com/" target="_self"><img alt=":iconmarkopolio:" class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/m/a/markopolio.gif" title="markopolio" /></a> <a href="http://markopolio-stock.deviantart.com/art/Skeleton-Back-47688358">markopolio-stock.deviantart.co…</a> (back) & <a href="http://markopolio-stock.deviantart.com/art/Skeleton-Grasping-1-55484641">markopolio-stock.deviantart.co…</a> (hands/arms)<br /><br />Cracks - :iconxenomophaka: <a href="http://xenomorphaka.deviantart.com/art/Cracks-17497422">xenomorphaka.deviantart.com/ar…</a><br /><br />Dress - <a href="http://policegirl01.deviantart.com/" target="_self"><img alt=":iconpolicegirl01:" class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/p/o/policegirl01.jpg" title="policegirl01" /></a> <i>designed & sewn by me; modeled on Barbie doll (stock pack available soon)</i><br /><br />Font - Trajan ProAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15858566790932011364noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8467864645377802790.post-23241172941545218992014-07-11T10:08:00.002-07:002014-07-11T10:08:58.057-07:00Outdoor Life - Cat 1<br />

I went out to Four Winds Renaissance Faire a few weeks back and was
able to get a lot of pictures of the jousting tournament. I figured
that I would use them as part of a stock pack. When I was going back
through them, this one stuck out from all the rest. This was taken
right after the melee battle.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15858566790932011364noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8467864645377802790.post-35082268650728440532014-04-21T10:03:00.004-07:002014-04-21T10:03:49.849-07:00Outdoor Life - Squirrel 2<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I've been experimenting with my lens (55-250mm) by taking pictures of the
neighborhood critters. I've been putting out bird seed for the birds,
and now have a legion of squirrels up on the porch every day. They now
have gotten somewhat friendly and I am able to stand outside the door
and take pictures of them. The new lens really helps since I can get
really good closeup shots.<br />

see if it would help generate some more sales. We decided to experiment
with the look a little to make it stand out from her other romances
since this one is more sexy/sensuous than the others. She really likes
it, so we may go back and redo the other ones as well at a later date.<br />
<br />
I
didn't have to do much with the model aside from adding extra facial
hair and some chest hair to the man. I added a bait of hair to the
woman to help cover up a section where I wasn't able to remove the
original background (dark grey) cleanly. I blurred the models just
slightly to give them a softer look and help them fit into the
background better. The font was the hardest to find since I wanted to
use something that looked like old-time script to match the setting in
the book. <br />
<br />
<b>Quick Note:</b> The cover will go live sometime next week.<br />

This one started out as an entry for the DDRC Logo Contest last year. I
finished it and entered it in on January 15, literally a year ago. I
was contacted right before Christmas letting me know that I won and just
needed to make a few little weeks. The original version is live on the
site right now, and the updated version should be up in a few days or
so.<br /><br />The full color version will be used for the website,
newsletters & stickers. The grayscale & inverted will be also
be used on t-shirts, as well as anything that cannot be printed in
color.<br /><br /><br />DDRC Site - <a class="external" href="http://www.down-river.com/" rel="nofollow">www.down-river.com/</a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15858566790932011364noreply@blogger.com0
