Bad news for trees...

I'm finally starting to work on dead-tree editions of the novels so far piblished on Avevale. There will be two Nyrond volumes, one for OIK (when it is finished) and one for Lost Goats and some extra bits and bobs, some of which you may not have seen. Those will be designed like the Austin.

This is my first pass at Tetrad:




I'm not entirely happy with it--it's a compromise, and it's very generic, and the models are clearly models--but when you can't paint you do what you can do, and I'm still happy with my two fonts, and I honestly don't think the blurb is bad.

Next up is Oonaverse. No idea.

Anyway, that's one done.

I can't draw either, but I think this is a matter for someone who can!
There must be lots of people out there who are able to draw a better unicorn (or virgin, while we're at it) than this programme or whatever it is!

(One of them even lives with you! :) But if she's busy writing or if you'd rather not work together - some couples just don't like to - well, there are still quite a few artists left. Why leave it to the computer?)

Yes, there are lots of artists out there, and they all get paid for their work, probably not enough, but more than I can afford. I do my own, and the inevitable frustration aside, I actually enjoy it.

And since this is basically a hobby, it doesn't really matter.

Yes, it does matter.
How about a cover without a unicorn?
