They're great illustrations. I followed the link to the Henderson Castle. It's cool to see an illustration from the artist's perspective. It is also cool that you know Brandon Dorman. If I am correct, he illustrated the Fablehaven books...and did a spectacular job. I'm excited to see the third cover!<BR/>Jennifer Harris (Grimes)Jennifer Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13937984363714504375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294521.post-9005165488022109272008-09-19T08:08:00.000-04:002008-09-19T08:08:00.000-04:00Seriously Val, I would love to get your critique o...Seriously Val, I would love to get your critique on my artwork. I know that you enjoy artwork in general and it helps me a lot to hear the point of view of someone who is reacting to my artwork based on gut feeling instead of telling me what photoshop filter to try.<BR/><BR/>I'll ask for your help on the next one.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I did get that you were being funny, I just think you underestimate yourself.Mike Laugheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07756846749275310356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294521.post-70969435289473056312008-09-18T22:47:00.000-04:002008-09-18T22:47:00.000-04:00That last comment was a joke, in case that isn't c...That last comment was a joke, in case that isn't clear.

I love the look of all the different angles and peaks. It is very visually appealing, and when I was younger covers were one of the first things I looked at while browsing books. I think with your cover art, it will totally draw in even more readers for Todd. Well done! When are the books released for purchase?Laura Waltzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08537831053452629765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294521.post-4050843192118940162008-09-13T08:30:00.000-04:002008-09-13T08:30:00.000-04:00haha... these are great dude!!
