BLACK HOUNDS Update! With 'nother WIP pic!

I knew when I wrote this book, it was going to be dogs on the cover.

I was not looking forward to this.

However...

I think it's looking GOOD.

More art update

Hiya Adry! I've missed Photoshop. DAMN I've missed Photoshop.

Also, is it sad that my favorite part of the image is Adry's medic badge? Because it is.

I'd say we are about 60% done. Now I just have to do Bryan's armor and the background.

Lookit that armband. LOOK AT IT. I AM AWESOME.
...Yeah. WHY DID I GIVE (SPOILER CENSORED) FUCKING SCALE MAIL BATTLE ARMOR?

...because it will look awesome when it is done.

Also: No. I did not paint every single little fucking scale by hand. I cheated and used a custom brush. All I have to do is shade every single little fucking scale by hand.

Also-Also: I am exparimenting with hand-binding books. I have realized that when it comes time to do omnibuses (omnibi?) of my little books I would be best off hiring an editor. Which will be expensive as fuck. So when it comes time to do Lightning Source print books, I will *probably* do a Kickstarter and/or Indie a go go campaign to pay for the set up and the editor.

What would you guys think about hand bound, hardcover, illustrated copies of Starbleached, that first little book, as one of the donation rewards? Same would go for Exiles when it comes time for that omnibus. Discuss in comments.

(PS Self Publishing Thursdays will continue when I am not killing myself to try to get this thing done by the second. If you have something specific you want me to cover re: Self publishing things, please comment and lemme know.)

STARBLEACHED #3 Cover progress

Overseer's Own is coming along swimmingly. SWIMMINGLY, I tell you.

Here is cover:

But CW! I hear you say! What is that big blurry spot?

That's Bryan. Getting his features right was a pain. I'll still probably go back and do more, but I think he looks pretty good, don't you?

In other words? You don't get to find out what an Overseer looks like in my mind until after the cover is released.Because I am that kind of person.

We're on our way!
