Goblin Diary - final artwork

Pheee! - 42 B/W illustrations! Final artwork done! See a selection below. Illustration are done with a HB pencil on a very smooth hot-press paper. I have taken in consideration that the pencil does reflect a bit so I did compensate. I really enjoyed illustrating this books... drawing Goblins, dragons and a Red Witch! Alex d'Angelo wrote a real good story - thanks, Alex.

The Goblin's Diary - cover illustration

Final Illustration for the cover delivered last week - now I have to do 41 B/W inside illustrations.

Very rough cover

Cover design - very rough - for the Goblin's Diary written by Alex D'Angelo to be published by Tafelberg Publishers (SA)

The rough drawing for the cover

Then I 'coloured' it in very quickly in photoshop just to get a colour feel to show to the publisher - and I have the go-ahead!!
