I’m back with audio for a different chapter with better narration, this time from my book Seaborn. Take a listen, let me know what you think.

I just finished up a couple introduction panels to go with the character studies yesterday–and by “finished” I mean still quite rough with some sloppy line work, but a good start. The main character has a “sea-bag”, which she uses on cargo voyages, and I probably spent too much time sketching ideas to make it look different and interesting.

Sketching one of the characters from the book I completed in March, currently ten chapters into the next book in the series. Kinda thinkin’ about what a comic edition of the story might look like.

First sketching–the first 30 or so lines with a pencil brush–on the new XP Pen Artist Pro 16 (Gen 2) graphics display tablet. Super smooth, very fast, feels like a pencil–as it should. I’ve used Wacom tablets (not graphical) for I don’t know how long–15 or 20 years? I’ve only ever had one other graphical display tablet, where you’re drawing on the screen with the stylus, but this is so much better than my old Ugee 24, which I haven’t used in a long while.

“Cloud War”, painted mostly in Art Rage. This is an old one from my art folder. I painted this 7 or 8 years ago for a story idea I was working on. I loved the fanciful mix of world war one biplane pilots dog fighting with dangerously powerful winged beings that threw grenades, and could even dive-bomb battleships. And who knows what other powers they have!
