Book Cover Illustrations

When I stared creating the illustrations for the graphic novel The Werewolves of New Idria, we knew the final page count and approximately how many illustrations I’d need to create for John Chadwell’s story. That said, there’s always a little “wheel spinning” with an art project like this, so a few pieces were created that […]

Sometimes I’m contacted by writers having questions about how to translate a script or novel into a format that would allow an artist to create a graphic novel of the story. The process is not as straight-forward as one might imagine. Many writers make the mistake of trying to put too much into each page […]

I’ve now finished over 80 B&W illustrations for the upcoming graphic novel Werewolves of New Idria to be released by Moonstone Books next year. Also in the mix are several cover proposals, a poster (that may become the cover), and the concept artwork leading up to the graphic novel (which was written by John Chadwell). […]

I got a fantastic interview by Bob Heske at Investcomics.com. The interview pretty much covers my publishing career to date, including the books I’ve written (and often illustrated) as well as the illustration work I’m currently doing. Included is some new information about the new graphic novel The Werewolves of New Idria that I’m illustrating.

Another group of illustrations (or parts of illustrations) I’m doing for John Chadwell’s graphic novel Werewolves of New Idria which will be published by Moonstone Books. ===================== Duncan Long is a freelance book illustrator whose artwork has appeared in publications from HarperCollins, PS Publishing, Pocket Books, Solomon Press, Fort Ross, and many other publishers and […]

Another round of graphic excerpts from John Chadwell’s graphic novel Werewolves of New Idria (Moonstone Books). Each of these is actually just a part of the page from the books (as I don’t want to ruin the complete picture for readers). As can be seen, these are a part of the progression through WWII and […]

Another round of “sneak previews” of the illustrations for John Chadwell’s graphic novel Werewolves of New Idria (Moonstone Books). The illustrations have an added level of complexity in that we’re trying to keep them (as the story itself) historically accurate with the uniforms, armor, firearms, swords, motor cycles, etc., etc. Given that the story line […]

I figured it was about time for an update on the B&W book illustrations I’m doing for John Chadwell’s graphic novel Werewolves of New Idria (Moonstone Books). Since the story was written with a film version in mind, Moonstone settled on the “wide vision” format for this graphic novel giving each picture a movie-picture-like perspective […]
