I like it--it's still creepy. |

Well met, Erik, and welcome to Candlekeep.
Thanks for the update, i'll get this changed on the novel page on the site 
Are there to be any other FR novel covers (or other WotC novels) that you'll be working on in the future?
I am currently finishing off the last two Dungeons covers and I have done three Ravenloft covers that will be coming out over the next year. Hopefully there will be more coming. |

Whenever you're free to show the finished art for the other books, remember to stop by here and let us know, Erik
I must say that I find the art for The Howling Delve to be quite...nightmarish  Eerie! |

Wow, Erik... that is a great cover!
I liked your other art as well - you really know how to use perspective to add depth to a picture! And welcome to Candlekeep on my behalf, too! 
BTW, Alaundo, shouldn't Erik's title be changed to 'Forgotten Realms Artist'?   |

Looking forward to it!

Quite right, Asgetrion. It's a good job one of us is on the ball

Indeed -- those are pretty snazzy. With very much that life-like *fear* quality you might find on horror movie posters.
Quite a coincidence that three of the covers depict blondes, no? All of them in very different postures and clearly very different characters -- you can tell just by looking.
Well done, Erik -- you seem to have presented three women of similar stature (the athletic sort of build, the hair-color, adventurers) and in similar contexts (dark, dungeon-delving, etc), yet maintained them as separate, unique characters, with stories all their own.
Good show!
Cheers
P.S. Three girls and a geezer, eh? Hmm.
Something you're not telling us, Jaleigh?
.....
(Maybe she WASN'T kidding about the "romantic lead" bit.) |
