I'm stealing that format where we update a Thread every time I start and end a new book.
Not gonna be able to read anything for 1-2 more weeks so just making this in preparation. I can't believe I've gone three months w/o reading anything... There's so much I need to get to.

BOOK COVER ARTISTS

QRP with your book covers 📚

#BookCovers

(Retired from illustration last year but here are some of my later covers)
Book cover for THE WAY OF KINGS by Brandon Sanderson. A cloaked and armored figure raises his sword in salute to a tiny figure in the distance separated by a chasm of broken earth shrouded by mist. A massive storm cell winds gray and blue across the sky intersecting the tip of the extended sword. A bright line of blue runs across the clouds as if etched by the unusual half-hilted, wavy blade. The orange cloak covering most of the figure (as viewed from behind) is decorated with a mass of wild crustacean arms ending in crescent claws. The icon on the pennant, flying tall on a pole held offhand, depicts a crab-like creature. The sky to the right of the storm is tinted warm yellow as the sun peeks out. A sliver of moon can be seen in a blue-sky break between the clouds. Book cover for THE DARK TOWER by Stephen King. Bathed in twilight, Roland Deschain stands in a field of red roses that surround a tower of massive girth. With arms crossed, he holds up a big revolver. Fingers wrap the sandalwood grips with noticeable tension on the trigger. Loosely knotted cloth spills from his other wrist, exposing the back of his hand, but not the fingers on his right hand. The cloth is bloody where it wraps over pinky and ring finger as he clutches the stem of a rose. Book cover for EMPIRE OF GRASS by Tad Williams. Grass and ivy have overgrown ancient ruins, but the delicate artistry of the Sithi can be see in the still standing pillars and arches bathed in the golden light of sunset. A solitary statue kneels among the ruins. She holds a bow one-handed with an arrow knocked. In the other, she lightly grips a long spear with the tip angled down. Book cover for DRAGONWRITER: A TRIBUTE TO ANNE MCCAFFREY AND PERN. In the cargo hold of a spaceship, a dragon floats with female rider saddled high on its shoulders. Gripping reins, she cranes her neck back to glance at the viewer. Disorienting, the perspective into the cargo hold is slightly angled with the lines of interior structure not quite lining up with the wide octagonal bulkhead leading into it. There is no true horizon to orient on which prompts a sense of weightlessness and implies slow rotation. The hold itself is cropped with the right of it falling off-panel. Just past the dragon, a large porthole provides a view planet-side with sun partially obscured behind a bright arc. A red dot burns menacingly nearby.

Just a small doodle of the absolute queen, Tintaglia.
I can't really say anything here without being offensively spoilery. Please go read Realm of the Elderlings by @robinhobb.bsky.social 💙 I beg you.

Quick digital drawing of a blue, serpentine dragoness. She is shiny and frilled.

I have the urge to read The Dark Tower now

THE DARK TOWER: ALGUL SIENTO (2003)
Acrylic on Panel - 28" x 18"

Interior illustration from THE DARK TOWER by @stephenking.bsky.social (Donald M. Grant)

From first reading of the manuscript, I was drawn to this scene in THE DARK TOWER VII and knew I had to paint it. 1/2
From a rocky overlook, Roland and Jake stare down at the Breakers camp in End World. Algul Siento sits illuminated by a wide patch of light as if held in a spotlight from the heavens. In a moment of shared silence, the two gunslingers squat. As seen in profile, Roland holds a cigarette in his maimed right hand resting on his knee. Jake is facing away, but a plume of smoke can be seen from behind. Oy curls up on the rust colored ground behind Jake. Although Oy rests with head upon paws, its eyes are open and aware. Dark stripes sit on the Billy Bumbler's white fur like lightning bolts, distorting over the curve of haunches and disappearing beneath the closed spiral of its tail.
