Roberto Aceves - El Cid 1z-033

I’ve recently started an illustration project that will create character portraits and other artwork for John Chadwell’s book Werewolves of New Idria (which is also becoming a screenplay that Chadwell is coauthoring with Ron Shusett, the writer/creator of the Alien franchise as well as Total Recall).

The basic plot follows several characters through history, from the Crusades to modern times. As such, it has a nice mix of adventure, moral quandaries, and scenery – perfect material for both a book as well as a movie. My initial take has been “it can’t miss.” And the characters and plot have proven to be inspiring as I create illustrations to help bring characters to life at the web site.

The picture above is of one of the key characters Roberto Aceves.

You can learn more about this story as well as read the chapters of the book as they’re placed online at this site:  Werewolves of New Idria.
