Sword’s Innocence rough cover sketch 1

Hey, guys! So about that book that would need to be submitted before July 1st or whatever to get a free copy from CreateSpace… well, this is my rough draft of the cover. I’m planning to get someone else to paint it ‘coz that would be cool, but I need something to show them what to do, right? So this is from this chapter, a few paragraps in. Though I’m going to rewrite the book, I’m leaving this scene in. I was also going to have a ‘dramatic confrontation’ cover, where Zela, in green, sword in hand, is confronting… Muila, in a red dress? who is looking at her disdainfully from the top of some small steps… in a dark location. But this one is WAY COOLER so I drew it first.

I used my dragon-drawing book, too!

So… in the foreground is Zela on Silver the dragon, and chasing them are three (I only put two) dragons, and then the brown spiky thing is the city, and there’s a road leading past it and to it, and there’s one of those amazing blue-green lakes nearby (there is no food colouring in Canadian Rockies water, folks! Just in case you were wondering) and the brown, rather barren mountains (green in the valleys) stretching back to green mountains and then blue, with a glimpse of the green plains waaaaaaay over on the left, and dark stormclouds capping it all. And then there’ll be a title with a twisty border and a back summary.

Rahr! Eee!

Today’s picture is of a dragon. She seems to be designed based on a Lego dragon, and I think she looks pretty cool. She was a scatterbrained minor character while we were ‘roleplaying’ – we didn’t call it that, but that’s what we were doing. I drew an extra tail design for her. She’s also a green dragon, which brings the Lego element even more into the picture, although now I call them emeralds, along with scarlet, gold, silver, and marine dragons… those last would be blue, but I can’t think of a ‘better’ name for them. Anyway, that was just brainstormed a couple of days ago. Zela’s dragon-friend is silver, I know that.
