Legion Universe Concept Art – Alien Starwolf

I was taking a break from editing the manuscript for Chrysalis Emergent, and decided to create a concept rendering of one of the alien races that feature in the Legion Universe, this one also a Starwolf.

It’s not entirely how I visualize both this alien’s species, and the implants of Starwolves, in my head, but it gives you a good idea.

Chrysalis Emergent – Sneak peek, and site changes

After a little bit of CSS hacking, and some new versions of a couple of the images used for the site, I’ve finally managed to create a single column page layout, and can now post more of the writing material up without it looking all squished.

To celebrate this minor piece of design tweaking, it’s maiden outing is a sneak peek at “Chrysalis Emergent“, a K’Arian Legion novel I’m re-working at the moment.

I hope you enjoy the site changes, and especially the fragment of Chrysalis Emergent!

Chrysalis Emergent Cover Art

With prompting from a few people, I’ve started working on re-tweaking a Legion Universe novel, with the intent of actually risking the dreaded rejection letters again.

But, me being me, I decided to do some cover art as well given the recent release of some new meshes.

Oddly, working on the character from this cover idea helped me to get a better understanding of some of the concepts the Legion Universe explores.

So, as I doubt will come as a surprise to anyone, I present to you a cover for Chrysalis Emergent, long before the words are even close to decent. Read more... (115 words, 1 image, estimated 28 secs reading time)

Promise novels artwork

I’ve uploaded three of the renders I did based on parts of the vampire Promise novels I’m writing to the graphics site. I also added the short story snippets I wrote when I originally created the renders to the first and last ones.

They are, in order:

A Promise Sealed With A Kiss
Grey Death
Awakening To Eternity (Not safe for work)

(Awakening is flagged NSFW due to minor female nudity)

Go take a look, and enjoy the teasers (the stories, not the nudity)

Disturbing Equilibrium?

How many of you have seen the excellent movie “Equilibrium”?

Christian Bale, Sean Bean, Sean Pertwee … With talent like that, it’s easy to just get lost in the movie and ignore the plot.

Well, it is for me. But I digress.

Back to the plot of this entry – Do you remember how things were “Rated EC10 for emotional content”, banned, and burned, in the movie?

Now consider the idea of “age banding” in the UK.

The premise is simple – publishers want to start tagging the covers of children’s books with “age recommendations”. Read more... (612 words, estimated 2:27 mins reading time)
