The Great Spine Artwork
Added 2025-02-05 11:07:05 +0000 UTCHey all!
I've mentioned a few times that I was working on updating my paperbacks. Well, the great spine wrap project is COMPLETE! I wanted to share the art with you all. There's still a small window for PROBLEMS AND ERRORS to be fixed if you spot any. This is stuff like "Fenrir's eye color is weird", NOT "Oh hey you should add Crow and Dove"
The goal of the wrap is to show Elaine's journey, start to finish. I tried to add a good amount of symbolism to it all - from the hourglass, to the dawn/dusk, nighttime, lightning, etc. I don't want to give it all away!
Well, I suppose I'll mention Iona and Fenrir obscuring the moon is deliberate
Enjoy! Next stop: The artwork on special editions and on paperbacks!

I like how her face has gained character in this and the previous witchy artwork. Before that her face always looked a little too smooth, a little too generic to me. Not just young but a little blank.

2025-02-06 21:28:05 +0000 UTCIt's meant to capture the moment she runs away from home - she brought almost nothing
Selkie
2025-02-06 21:28:03 +0000 UTCShe's 'following' that Elaine

2025-02-06 21:27:36 +0000 UTCI know, but any number besides 1 is awkward

2025-02-06 21:26:35 +0000 UTCWhy does Iona have a sword instead of her axe or glaive?

2025-02-05 22:18:51 +0000 UTCForgiveness if there's info on this somewhere else, but will there hardcover books or otherwise special editions to buy? Love the art by the way.

2025-02-05 20:44:07 +0000 UTCA question for the group, was the Roman Aquilla traditionally depicted as facing right or left? My silly memory is gaslighting me into thinking it'd face "dexter"/it's-right vs "sinister"/it's-left (aka, the constellation depicted would flipped), but I honestly don't remember. I might however be mixing things up with contemporary US or German heraldry standards - And yes, this is truly a horrid thing to be confused about, send help.

2025-02-05 18:49:14 +0000 UTCOnly thing that pops out to me is Auri appearing before her Immortal Moments look rather than right after

2025-02-05 15:56:42 +0000 UTCYou might add something to the second Elaine like charcoal smudges or a quill, hinting at her writing Something Important. After all, it does define a lot of her life.

2025-02-05 15:40:08 +0000 UTCOkay, I initially thought it would be too small a space for the idea, but this is AMAZING! I'm so happy for you and how this turned out!

2025-02-05 13:19:59 +0000 UTCThere will be an artwork pack in the upcoming kickstarter. This will also probably be a poster
Selkie
2025-02-05 13:19:44 +0000 UTCAny chance you could sell that as a standalone banner or something? I'd love to put that up with my other memorabilia!

2025-02-05 13:13:46 +0000 UTCI see foreshadowing. Elane walking foward in the white dress and the wreath in stars. So excited to read about her becoming a goddess. Hoping you can make a short story or add a couple chapters to the last book so we can see her settling in and how the realm of gods looks like.

2025-02-05 12:02:53 +0000 UTCLooks awesome. What is the octagon constellation by Student!Elaine supposed to be?
Thorium
2025-02-05 12:01:20 +0000 UTCLooks great!! What's the sigil on Iona's armor? It might be right, but it looks almost like a college football logo :)

2025-02-05 11:56:24 +0000 UTCOh hey you should add Crow and Dove

2025-02-05 11:22:28 +0000 UTCI like how throughout most of her life she is running/flying towards something, now as we reach the end she is slowly walking forward.

2025-02-05 11:18:58 +0000 UTCIt's a fantastic bit of art. I am confused by the gold armour though.

2025-02-05 11:16:12 +0000 UTCVery nice artwork!
fennek
2025-02-05 11:12:40 +0000 UTCYeah dope! Love the Elaine banner thingy!!! Thru the years... errr decades... centuries! And the different evolutions! The Iona/Fenrir hovering near the end... it's representative and lovely (a little sexy too).
Khal Lee
2025-02-05 11:12:17 +0000 UTCReally cool! I do not know why, but in my mind Fenrir was fat :D I guess becouse if someone can eat a whole cow they are bound to be big.
