We have been working on this artwork for well over a decade
Probably closer to fifteen years, give or take,
and we are closing in on the final drawings/paintings
that are needed to complete this collection of books.
We could, in fact expand this collection by four or five more stories,
the way it turned out with the backstory and character development.
As it stands we have close to a thousand paintings
like the ones shown here.
As you can see the final artwork is all watercolor;

Maybe "closing in " isn't the right phrase, because there is still much to be done.
It seems like we are closing in because relatively speaking,
there is much less to do, compared to what has been done.
But it's still a lot.
Many of the sketches we came up with need to be redrawn
in order to get the aesthetic quality you see in what is shown here.
Some artwork has had to have been redrawn
multiple times to get the right feel.
This particular image turned out pretty cool. It could be refined further,
but i like it fine the way it is. It does the job.
We are almost out of Book Five, which was the real hang-up.
Most of Books Six & Seven are done, so it will be easier from here on out.
Contact me if you are interested in participating in any aspect of this project.
