Starting a new cover...

As I said...busy is the operative word these days! And rather than be just totally M.I.A....I figured you'd enjoy seeing something in progress. So, here's a sketch for a cover I am working on that will feature Alan Dean Foster's popular "Pip and Flinx" series. Pip is of course, the winged dragon on Flinx's shoulder. ( May is a month for dragons, let me tell you.) Anyway, despite not being asked to, I wanted to do a wrap cover, because I wanted a big expansive planetscape. In this case, an alien world with a dead city on it. At it's center is a angular object called The Krang. To set off this object, I wanted to show it very hard edged, vs the curvy, organic shapes of the outer city. The sun rising symbolizes Flinx' coming of age. And I love painting suns-on-horizons with clouds and such setting them off. This promises to be fun. In the meantime, I hope to get some smaller works up, as I miss painting them, but again, business calls so I'll take it! I can almost say with certainty, a new dragon will appear on this blog by week's end as well....
