Well met, Erik, and welcome to Candlekeep.
Thanks for the update, i'll get this changed on the novel page on the site ![](images/icon_smile_approve.gif)
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. |

Well met
Whenever you're free to show the finished art for the other books, remember to stop by here and let us know, Erik ![](images/icon_smile_approve.gif)
I must say that I find the art for The Howling Delve to be quite...nightmarish Eerie! |

Wow, Erik... that is a great cover! ![](images/icon_smile_approve.gif)
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! ![](images/icon_smile_big.gif)
BTW, Alaundo, shouldn't Erik's title be changed to 'Forgotten Realms Artist'? ![](images/icon_smile_wink.gif) ![](images/icon_smile_tongue.gif) |

Looking forward to it! ![](images/icon_smile.gif)

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! ![](images/icon_smile.gif)
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.) |
