Description

Ascension is officially complete and ready for press. For those that didn't read about the art before I added the design, here's a recap: For this cover, I had to figure out how to include five unique characters from the book without making it too congested. So, like many a band of heroes do at some point in their epic tale, I had them pose for an impromptu portrait to document their place in history and folklore. The first design I submitted was a bit too disconnected, so I re-thought it and both the author and I feel this is a much more cohesive design that doesn't distract from or get overshadowed by the art. What do ya'll think?

Thank you, Flint. Most of my cover projects are renders, lately. I find I enjoy it just as much as drawing and painting.

Thanks, guys. I am just glad I have the new system for this. My old one would never have done a five figure, raytraced, scene with dynamic clothes sprinkled here and there.

How long was my vacation from art. I know will find you somewhere in time. Like this cover. Bought this one. expensive little bugger. No reviews but the first few pages showed promise.
