Miss Houston face

Thought I might post a close up on Miss Houston’s face, so you could see some of the details that you might not be able to make out on the full cover.
Miss Houston

This book cover, for Kerri Bennett Williamson’s 7th novel, was a combined effort. My sister, Anna Williamson, did the background and I did Miss Houston herself and the layout.

18th century rider

When I think of the 4th of July, I think of tri-corner hats, tall leather boots, lace callers, and long blue coats. So I thought I’d post this concept sketch for a comic book/graphic novel that I’m working on, which is set in this historic era. It’s only a b&w, but I thought it had a nice mood to it, even without color.
Happy 4th of July everyone!

Here, Oceana is painting a portrait of Prince Richmond. Art is another one of her many talents. This is one of my favorite backdrops, as well as some of my favorite lighting and I really liked the depth and colors in this image as well.

Here is a sample page from my children’s book “Oceana, A Pudgy Princess” In the book, Oceana is quite good at archery and this skill plays an important role at the end of the story.
Oceana, A Pudgy Princess
May 28, 2010
There once lived a princess who was somewhat more rounded than was typically considered to be desirable. I am sorry to say that in this superficial world of ours there are some individuals who, upon reading those few words, would see no reason to continue any further. I sincerely hope, however, that you are not such a person, for you would be depriving yourself of a truly charming little tale: a tale of nobility, a tale of courtship, a tale of magic, and a tale that, regrettably, also contains a rather ugly troll. Yet, at its heart it is a tale of true love and I am pleased to report that, like any proper fairy tale, it also contains a very happy ending.
This is the cover for my children’s book “Oceana, A Pudgy Princess” for which I was the author, as well as the illustrator.

Elf Face Study
May 12, 2010
Here is the black and white pencil of the elf face study. I believe I did it sometime in 2004 or 2005, but I can’t be sure. It ended up not really looking much like the photo reference used, but I was referencing the lighting on the face more than anything.
Elf Face Study, color
May 4, 2010
A face study I did from a photo reference. I think it was something about the braid in her hair that made me end up turning her into an elf. Photoshop was used to colorize it.
