Vampire Art

I call it that, though unless you *know* that the following are images of vampires you might not know it. For those who are out of the loop, these are the main characters in my newest vampire novel Heart of the Raven. This blog isn’t about advertising that, so if you want more info check out my author blog.

 

The heroine of the series… Yep, I redrew her again.

the super hot vampire boyfriend – he finally got a new drawing.

the ever mysterious and mischievous… erm… well, maybe he’s their friend – maybe I will redraw him for the next book

Jorick’s fledgling – did some tweaking on his head, shoulders and arms. looks better

A new character. isn’t she cute? – all new

A new Executioner – not happy with his arm

The sneaky treasure hunter – he came out good

Sorino’s pet human – mostly happy with him

A guard at the citadel – 100% perfect

A German Executioner – happy with him

Another German Executioner – she came out hot

Jorick’s neighbor – I should redraw him, too

Loren;s best buddy – maybe a new Micah next time

Oren’s sister – why mess with perfection?

The bad guy – a new, creepier Malick. I like his robe.

one of the bad guy’s minions – not happy with his coat or arms, but he’s not that important.

Another minion- she looks good

the most sinister minion – same Senya from the executioner collection

All in all I was pretty happy with the way the new ones came out. There are a couple I might redraw next time – Verchiel, for instance – but then again maybe not. We’ll see what’s going on at the time.

song playing at the moment – 3AM – Poets of the Fall

her head isn’t quite right but I like this anyway.

fav song of  the moment – Please Don’t Let it Go – HIM

Artwork – Angels: Seriphim

(originally from July 2008)

I’m working on a ten picture series of Angels based on the ten hierarchies. Yes, fine, there’s really only nine, but I feel that the Angels of Destruction warrant their own picture, whether they are technically under The Powers or not!

This is the last of the set – to see them all together check put my flickr set.

The first shot at the wraparound

 

I managed to squish some time in today to work on the rough draft of my wraparound. If you’d like to read the blurb and/or leave some feedback on it, you can do that on my author blog.  You’ll notice there’s a big black box that’s empty. I decided to go out on a limb this time and solicit some blurbs before it was published. Okay, I got lucky and a couple of people offered. Who am I kidding? Ruth Ann Nordin was ind enough to let me use a blurb from her review of Shades of Gray on the last book, and then I used a quote from Daniel Kennedy. He just has a very “weighty” sounding name – like he;s someone important. Or is that just me?  I thought about hitting Jonathan up for one, but 1) he hasn’t finished the second book yet, so book 3 isn’t going to happen for awhile and 2) I thought it might conflict with his genre a little.  Some people might frown on a devotional written by a guy who’s being quoted all over vampire books. Though if they get offended that easily his book (Shades of Plaid) will aggravate them, anyway. I think it’s great, but then I’m twisted, so I hear.

Enough yacking, here’s the rough draft:

I have to get back to work on a cover for someone else, now. The one with the high heel, as a matter of fact 😉

I don’t like this one. In fact I would have redone it from the start except my mother liked it, so it stayed.

eg. I still don’t like this one

not even with sepia
