FenCon was awesome, and I had a great time. I've been working on some more book cover since & will have a ton of stuff to update once I get a chance. Things my mom blog have picked up since it's Christmas so I've been testing a ton of products and writing reviews.
I'm going to try to get a few updates up tonight. I'm on my laptop so I don't have all the files handy to get them all up..but I think I should be able to get most of them up.

Updates
I have been completely flooded with cover commissions the past several months. I recently moved Misadvmom.com over to DreamHost & have been behind with stuff over there as well.
I have a bunch of stuff that needs to get up here, but it may still be a while before I have to chance to work on it. I will try to have the site completely updated by the time FenCon rolls around.
Also, I'm just about ready for the Silent Prey cover shoot, and I will be livestreaming it.

Commissions & Updates
I had to go in for knee surgery on the 3rd, so I've had to put all work on hold this month. I'm currently staying at my parents house due to the fact that I can't get up the steps to get into my own. I should be heading home sometime this coming Sunday. Once home, I will be focusing mainly on C L's webpage so that I can get that one done first. I not sure which romances I'll be working on for Trana yet & Grave Yarns will only take me a little bit to redo. I also have another stock pack to get up as well.

Pic from FenCon 2012
Although I wasn't able to be at FenCon in person, a bunch of my stuff was. My friend Amanda got a picture of our table that was set up on Friday from 4 to 5pm. Next year we are going to get the table for a few hours on Saturday since the majority of the people attending will be there then.
I got the covers prited at Walmart for about $19 total. It should have been way more due to the fact that they ended up printing them on canvas (CANVAS!!!!!) because they were out of the regular poster paper. They looked great. I'll get a better pic of them a little later and put it up.

MP-1 Cover
CL told me it need to have a planet with two moons, & everything else was up to me. I love it when I can go crazy on covers. I used the same nebula & font from the first cover to keep up with the sort-of theme. The hardest part overall was finding the flares. I saw several good packs with PNG files but were way too expensive. The pack I went with were on a black background, so I edied out as much as I could and screened them. After adjusting the brightness/contrast a bit, everything blended right in.
There are a total of three flares layered at various opacities (is that even a word?). I was going for a light effect where you would be seeing the light washing over the view-port/screen upon entering the atmosphere or on approaching the planet. It also (unintentionally) gave it a bit of a 3D effect.
The moons are also the same moon, just reversed with altered color and added shadows.
