My book has just become available on Amazon’s Kindle Select program. This means that Amazon Prime members, who also own a Kindle, can borrow my book for free. You might think this to be a terrible option for me, why give my book away for free? Well, Amazon members can Read more…
I recently finished chapter 1 in SWTOR with my smuggler character. One of the games features at this point is the unlocking of the Legacy system. There isn’t much to it right now, aside from earning xp towards legacy levels (that don’t mean anything yet) and the ability to have Read more…
Well, the holidays are over. Time to get back to work. I have a novel to finish writing and then edit into a coherent story. But first I have to remember what the hell I was doing two weeks ago. I’ve always had a love/hate relationship with the first day Read more…
The day is here! Now available for sale on Amazon: The Kindle version is up but the paperback and hardback versions are not yet linked. We’re just waiting on Amazon to go ahead and make that connection. Could be a few days unfortunately. I can not begin to describe the Read more…
Tomorrow’s the big release day, so for the last day of cover art we look at Oliver’s finished cover and the first two title tests. I’m really happy with the way both Maarkean and the Cutty Sark turned out. They aren’t exactly how I envisioned them originally, but I think they’re Read more…
Two more concept pieces for today. We can see the Cutty Sark start to gain details and Maarkean’s Ocait clan screfa gains it’s recognizable violet shade. Here, his duster also looks much more like a simple duster and less like a cloak. The planet of Kol and it’s massive desert can Read more…
The two color concepts that Oliver developed ended up being merged together. Maarkean and the planet surface get a bit brighter look, so that they don’t appear so blue. But the nice dark, blue/purple night sky remains intact.
Today you get a special bonus of two concept shots. These were Oliver’s first color tests and he tried two different approaches. One, a darker more blue tint, and the other a brighter yellow tint.
The evolution continues and things start to come together. Oliver trimmed the horns down some to be more bumps/ridges and the screfa tattoo came down to just cover Maarkean’s cheek. The Cutty Sark has taken shape in this one to it’s final silhouette. Also, some details on his SK-9 pistol start to Read more…
Today, we’ll continue the cover concept art evolution with Oliver‘s second draft. Here you can see some facial features of Maarkean and an early concept for the Cutty Sark. His tattoo extends a little bit high, but I liked the direction Oliver went with the ears. Adds a little bit Read more…
