For all of my illustrations in the past few years, I use 3D models to help with lighting the scene and some of the tricky aspects of perspective. Here is a look at some of my 3D reference so you can get a sense for my process! Also, I NEED you to see my flapper-inspired caterpillar.

THE UPLIFT WAR (1987)
Acrylic on Canvas - 26" x 34”
The first of two covers that I illustrated for the Uplift novels by David Brin. In his universe, it is understood that no species can reach sentience without being “uplifted” by a more advanced race. 1/3
THE WHITE DRAGON (1978)
Acrylic on Masonite - 20" X 30"
Although this is the third book in the series, it was my first Pern cover and I was determined to create the dragons as faithfully to Anne McCaffrey's description as possible. 1/5
What a good, interesting book. The premise is a little boy can see dead people (which is familiar), but when he asks then a question they have to tell the truth.
This is a small but significant twist on the Sixth Sense base of the story because the boy goes from random medium to a tool people could potentially use for nefarious purposes.
Honestly, it’s a great story about how if you gained superpowers in any way, you have to keep that shit to yourself or you will absolutely be hunted down because of it, either by people who are jealous and want to hurt you because you have more than them, by people who are trying to use and abuse you to their own ends, or by people who will be negatively impacted by your power(s).
So take note: if you ever get super powers, just keep it to yourself. Only misery lies beyond letting people know.
I loved it.
I also love the storytelling style where it feels almost oral. King did this with Joyland (later with Fairy Tale) and it feels more approachable as in “gather round, kids and let Uncle Stevie tell you a story.”
I know some people aren’t keen on modern King, but I think there’s a swing to these stories that make them not only readable but devourable. The kind of stories you can read and grab another book right away and dive right in.

THE DAY OF THE KLESH (1979), Acrylic on Illustration Board - 24" x 16"
This was the conclusion of a loosely based trilogy about the Ler, an offshoot of humanity that left Earth. One of four covers that I illustrated for M.A. Foster and the followup to THE GAMPLAYERS OF ZAN.
KUTATH (1980)
Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 27” x 16”
One of the hallmarks of C.J. Cherryh’s writing is her intricate worldbuilding and detailed portrayal of extraterrestrial races. 1/3
THE ADVENTURES OF LITTLE FUZZY (1983)
Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 22" x 30"
This was a fun assignment. I was asked to do a large-size children's book version of LITTLE FUZZY by H. Beam Piper. Not having time to do the whole book, I did this for the cover and PEEKABOO FUZZIES for the endpapers and arranged for my friend David Wenzel to do the interior works. 1/3
SHONTO'S GARDEN (1990)
Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 25" x 36"
For his novel THE INITIATE BROTHER, Sean Russell draws from both Chinese and Japanese lore for the fantasy this painting illustrates. 1/4

DRAGON LAKE (1988)
Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 30" x 20"
"Some come easy, some come hard," said Norman Rockwell, when someone asked him how long it took for him to complete a painting. Like him, I'm somewhat of a perfectionist. 1/4

A quarter-leather book cover with marbled boards
Strange to think there may be people who have not seen such a thing. Marbling was also very common on endpapers, stuck to the inside cover and the start of the book to help hold it together.
Marbling is almost a lost art today; e.g. fewer than 12 pro marblers left in the UK.
Julia Rohwedder's work is gorgeous and this cover art for YA book, A Cold Tomorrow by David Sossamon, is no exception. And yes, all of Julia's work is created by her in Photoshop - no AI!

THE ADVERSARY (1984)
Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 28" x 18"
One of the rare instances when I placed real people into a cover illustration. 1/3
Tentative book cover for short story Fire and Ice, a kinky F/f fantasy.
