Winston and Baum's 4th book Cover!

My talented hubby has been writing an awesome adventure filled steampunk series for the past several years, Winston and Baum. These fun books follow Winston and Baum, two partners that specialize in the extermination of pesky supernatural trouble makers.  I have had the honor ...and frustration of illustrating each of his covers for him. 

the first Book of the series. 

the second book. 

the third book.

It is an honor to be a part of such an entertaining extension of my husband's mind. Being able to bring form to characters that he created has been amazing. However, I specialize in cute animals or girl's so when my husband asked me to draw some men with guns...needless to say it was a bit out of my comfort zone. It has been frustrating to work on each of his covers but probably none so much as this last one. Over four weeks of sketching and re-sketching to get Winston and Baum to look right on the page.

rough sketch (erased and re-drawn about 4 times)

inking the sketch now

I knew the look and position that I wanted to portray but my pencil didn't seem to want to cooperate ...yes it was the pencil that was the issue I'm almost sure of it. :P  And don't even get me started on the coloring issues...there is ALWAYS coloring issues.

Colored in PhotoShop...this program knows what I want it to do but it never listens. :P

But here I am, still in one piece and the fourth Winston and Baum cover is looking pretty awesome if I do say so myself. :D 

Here it is, Winston and Baum and the Trials of the Baba Yaga. 

The 4th book is available for pre-order on the kindle and should be available in paperback very soon. Get all his Novels and short stories on Amazon via his website.

So very proud of my hubby. Love you Seth! :)

Thanks for reading!

TOOK YOU LONG ENOUGH!!!!

Wow, a project that was anticipated to only take a few days ended up taking 4 weeks, Phew, what a task it was too BUUUUT I an FINISHED now, well at least with the coloring.

All I have to add for the Winston and Baum 2nd Book Cover to be complete is the Title text, then it will be ready to send to the printers and then my husband's 2nd Steampunk Adventure book will be available for purchase, EXCITING!!!
This one is called Winston and Baum and the seven mummies of Sekhmet, so the mean looking lady with the lioness face, hovering over everyone, that's Sekhmet. I imagine she is super cranky because Winston and Baum, with their sidekick goblin, Brackish, keep messing up her mass take over plans. The team have a penchant for getting in the way of supernatural villains, to find out more about them, you'll have to read the books :D

Halloweens Past

Brand New Myxie! I know it’s past Halloween so goblins and ghouls should probably be out of my mind but I was inspired to make a ghastly Zombie so that is what I did…Not too ghastly and more cute though :)  I was having so much fun setting up the scene to take her photos too. The background in the pictures is Thanks to my husband’s vast collection on props for his armature films.
