Updated Illustration for Werewolves of New Idria Script
filed in Graphic Novels, Movie concept art on Feb.20, 2011
The movie script for Werewolves of New Idria by John Chadwell and Ron Shusett (writer/creator of the Alien franchise and Total Recall) continues to be in the running. As the script is submitted to potential buyers, clients, and actors, the concept art and illustrations created for the graphic novel version of the story continue to be of help in visualizing the movie project.
The above illustration is of a recently updated picture originally created as a cover for the graphic novel (but later rejected). It was updated with an eye toward augmenting the script with a new submission.
The first chapter of the novel can be read online at the Werewolves of New Idria web site.
And pictures for the upcoming graphic novel from Moonstone Books as well as concept illustrations for the novel and script can be viewed at my Werewolves of New Idria gallery.
The graphic novel can also be pre-ordered from Moonstone Books’ website.

I loved the cover for Suzy Dingle’s book, Duncan. That hand is perfect – it looks gentle and poised, but capable of strong things. Wonderful.
This blue cover – have you thought of having the sword perpendicular, between the wolf’s eyes?

Thanks for the kind words – see I managed to leave the comments off on Suzy’s cover…
That sword. I have turned it every way but lose and this is the best I could get (at least to my eye) — the key being that the text and logo sort of dictates its placement as well. I’m going to post the final covers shortly so folks can see what they ended up like.
Do appreciate the input.
