Fairy book illustration

Over the last couple of years, I’ve found myself creating more characters for screenplays as well as the inner pages of novels and non-fiction books. For writers by artwork for their documents, illustrations can be an important “hook” for attracting t little more attention from potential buyers. With today’s highly competitive markets, such an edge can help sell a book or screenplay.

Above is a little fairy that eventually will become a black and white (actually “grayscale”) picture for an upcoming book about little creatures. I generally create artwork in color (in case a client decides to use it on a cover or in color ads) and then desaturate it to create a B&W picture.

Below is an assortment of aliens, little creatures, demons, and other monsters that are each slated to appear in either a book or screenplay.
