My first novel in 8 years comes out in August, and if you preorder it today from Barnes & Noble you get 25% off with the code PREORDER25!
It just means I get to say I made it for love, because apparently I'm not going to make any money.
DIGESTION! The Musical—coming soon from @ChronicleBooks
Anyway! Then I...painted this. I didn't take any progress pictures of the painting. It's oils on watercolor paper, something like 20x24.
And that's it.
I kept going, trying new heads. I think I sent the AD (Zack Stella) at least a few of these, and he chose the last one, so I made a tentative color study.
The prompt was: This is a movie poster shot of AJANI, his double-sided axe held at the ready. He might be roaring dramatically or simply looking heroic & noble. Behind him is a stained glass window depicting a beautiful field of grass. A stylized...SUN hangs in the window's sky
So I've been painting Magic: The Gathering cards again here and there, as a treat. I've learned I'm allowed to share this painting I did last year of a character named Ajani. Google if you want to see how a few dozen other artists have illustrated him.
My forthcoming book with @llaurappark, DIGESTION! The Musical, got a starred review from Kirkus! Kirkus is like the tough judge on a reality competition show.
I'm going to try something kind of weird for me: I'm going to actually ask if you'd preorder this.
