Looking for a little help from everyone.

I’m on my final edits for my first Hollows Glen book, and I’m trying to create a cover for it. These five quick ideas are what I have come up with and I’m curious which one you think suits my market, and which one you like best?

Market: 9-12 year olds

I don’t know if you know this about me, but I just finished writing a book!

The Hollows Glen series is aimed at the 9-12 year old in all of us, and is an anthropomorphic fantasy, think ‘Wind in the Willows’ meets ‘Lord of the Rings’.

Reach out if you would like to know more!

I am a traditional artist, but most fantasy art nowadays seems to be digital. So, I thought I would give digital painting a serious go with this one. Completely in my style, instead of copying someone else’s. I hope you like what you see 😊

I created this drawing traditionally as an ink wash, but I loved it so much I wanted to create this digital coloured version. What do you think? I’m considering putting it on some merch. Would you like a whimsical Cthulhu shirt or mug?

QUESTION:

Why do you watch YouTube?

Is it to learn something? For entertainment? You listen to music? What is it that draws you to the platform?

#whimsicalwednesday evolves into this Witch illustration I did recently in ink wash.

Let me know if there are any other characters you would like to see in this style 🤘

#whimsicalwednesday

5 years ago I created this month long challenge, to develop a new “whimsical” style. This was what I created over September 2020. One x-character a day and then combining them all into this image. The style has evolved, but it’s nice to look back at its beginning.

Flashback Friday
The Fish and the Ring was one of my first few watercolour painting that sold. It not only sold in a gallery in Australia but it was also a feature illustration in the FASERIP TTRPG manual, Epic Fantasy.
