Full Cover Jacket

And here we have even further developed cover ideas.

The first are the two previous front covers, merged into one.

The second has the Giant's first appearance, an idea suggested by my Wife, Tae In, and then re-suggested by Alec.

Font is thanks, again, to Christine Aaron!

Another Cover

Alec suggested a cover that looks like this.

The Cover

As of yet, there isn't a cover for the Hound's Tale. We're working on it.

Here is our first try, and an attempt at some color as well.

Some observations: a nice drawing, but not too exciting; and we Certainly need a logo design!

The Five

Here are Five Sequential pages from the Hound's Tale, book 1. These pages come from the near end of the book, pages 81 to 88.

Often submission requirements for publishers ask for five pages, so they can see what you're capable of: consistency, storytelling, layout, pacing, etc.

Ok ok, we know, technically there are six, well eight really if you count the two page spreads. But they work so well together!

Dialogue!

The talented Christine Aaron has created some lovely fonts for our story! Each character set / culture has their own, unique look, to help better tell the tale and diversify the world in which they live!

Check out Christine's site for a look a peek (scroll right to see them!)

More SFX

The sound effects were just added to these pages (83-84) only yesterday. Well all right.

SFX

The thing is nearly completed! Recently, I've been going through and adding sounds effects to each page. Here, a troll is barking wildly as Septimus vents his disgust for the noisy creatures. Soon I'll be able to show off the amazing fonts we had made for each character!
