Hey, I’m back with another look at how the art for Salvage Hounds Volume 2 was made, from chicken scratch ideas to the final pages. This time, we’re going to dive a little deeper into how the panels get painted in grays for that “Salvage Hounds feel.” So, let’s take a look at a panel …
Saturday, March 16th, I’ll be at the Ever-Read Young Adult Literature Festival in Evergreen park.

Ok, this weeks art update features the clean cover painting for the front and back of Salvage Hounds Volume 01. The above image is the full, wrap around cover, showing both the front and back images. This was my attempt at doing a “movie poster” style layout. I can easily imagine this being a wrap …
Another quick update with cover images. This week it’s the inks from Salvage Hounds volume 01. The first is the wrap-around cover inks (above). I’ve been pushing myself to use more blacks and shadows in my inks, especially on this book. However, knowing that the background was going to be a black, starry space sky …

These have also been added to the illustrations gallery, where you can find all kinds of cool art to ogle. And of course, Soul Chaser Betty: Curse of the Feral Gods is out now …
All right, no big preamble here. I just figured it would be cool to share some of the art that went into making the cover for my last book, Soul Chaser Betty: Curse of the Feral Gods. This week it’s the pencils and inks, with the full color illustration coming next week (sans titles and …
I’m so excited (and exhausted) after finally completing and releasing the latest epic tale in the Soul Chaser Betty saga: Curse of the Feral Gods. Of course, the book is available now for download in the store, but this week I wanted to go behind the scenes and show how the art gets made from …
