Worlds Unseen

 So for those of you who don't know, Rachel wrote a fantasy trilogy entitled "Worlds Unseen." She's been wanting a cover for it for a while now, and I told her I'd have one for her by the end of the month... LAST month. Well, here's my excuse for not having had one done on time! All of my painting supplies were in the attic and I could NOT--for the LIFE of me--get the attic door open.

Anyhow, Jimmy somehow managed to get it open, so I had no excuse. I had started working on a cover in Photoshop (which was going VERY badly, btw... I'll see if I can dig it up to show you just HOW bad...), but I had wanted to do it in acrylics on canvas.

*goes on a search for the awful original*

Ah, here we are... please resist the urge to gag. I know it's hard, but I'm confident that you can muster the self-control.

Worlds Cover-sm

So now that THAT'S over with, here's the newer version...

First shot:

And finally...

It's still not done yet. I have to add some people riding some huge birds over the mountains, and then I have to add the clouds and stars to the sky. But we're close.

As the officer in charge of judging all artwork for Rachel, I must give you two thumbs up. Good Job.

Thanks, Josh! Glad to know I have your highly-sought-after approval.

Now that I'm looking at it, I think the sky is too black. Think I might fix that when I go home... then again, it IS supposed to be pretty dark...

I like it dark :). Incidentally, the trilogy itself is called The Seventh World Trilogy; the first book is Worlds Unseen.
