The Keeper’s Warrior illo 6

The Keeper's Warrior - Illo 6

The Keeper's Warrior - Illo 6

Warrior sits and talks with the Wavespeaker, Head Priestess of the temple of Tempest. And yes, she really is that tiny. Doesn't help he isn't exactly small.

This is the last illo that I'll be LiveStreaming. Mostly because I feel the last three pics will be spoilers, and that just ain't cool. ^.^

I still have no idea what to do for a cover. Don't know if I'll be able to stream that or not since I'm unsure on wither to do it with my traditional watercolors or digitally. While I can stream my desktop just fine, I don't currently have the equipment (ie. web-cam) to do so for more traditional work. I figure I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

Oh ~ and here's something for discussion: I am looking for ideas for getto advertizing for this novella. If you got any ideas - post them here! Thank!

All that, for this piece of broken glass? Dungeon delving doesn't pay as well as Warrior hoped.

And that makes 5 of 9 illos done, and I'm now officially at the half-way mark. 4 more to go. I probably won't post the last couple as they might contain spoilers. ^.~

Okay all my docket slots are closed again. For everyone who got a slot this time I want to thank you for interest in my work and the chance to do business with you. If you unfortunately did not get a slot I am sorry, but remember I will be doing this again in a month or so.

Feedback time from folks. Did making the journal post announcement a couple days in advance of opening the docket help anyone secure a slot? Was two days advance enough time for folks to plan? Would moving the announcement date out further help any or would folks forget about it by the time I opened the docket up again? Just curious?

The Keeper’s Warrior Illo 4

The Keeper's Warrior - Illo 4

Over a meal, Keeper asks what's bothering Warrior, but the half-Elf refuses to say.

Moving right along whit 'The Keeper's Warrior' illustrations. I think this is the first one of the two together, and with how the illustrations are laid out in the book, it might just be the last. Doh!

four down, five plus the cover to go. Weee!

UPDATED: So, after looking at this all weekend - I realized that I really f***ed up on Warrior's proportions. To be fair, it's really hard to work such a contorted pose while keeping in mind that his armor *does not bend*. So, he now has more hips and longer arms, along with a leg lengthening as well. Much better.

ePubs and Bank Accounts

So this week business wise, we've gotten a lot accomplished. We now officially have our business back account. And I've started our new accounting books. Last thing we need in the resale license from the BoE. That's my job today.

Tuesday however, was a complete right-off. Spent all day trying to figure out how to get ePub written to display images (i.e. comics) correctly only to wind up in utter fail. When it comes to images, my opinion of the ePub format is still that it is a bag of dolphins. I still think the best solution is to pay someone like Grahpicly to format and distribute them. But it will be a long time before we can afford such things.

Bah - enough with fiddling with ePubs. Time to get to work on other things ... like the next illo for 'The Keeper's Warrior".
