New Light Novel: I’m a hivemind of 10 billion centipedes in a skin suit and also the prince of the Nightmare Dimension sent on a mission to destroy earth, but I’d rather fall in love instead: My underlings are trying to sabotage my relationship?! (ALSO IT’S YAOI!)
Thank you & so so much love to everyone who enjoyed Hera: To Catch a Star and to everyone who has been anticipating the second installment in the series! Heavens is officially releasing in a few days, so I figured I was long overdue for the reveal of its cover!!
Hera: To Touch the Heavens is releasing March 2024, so stay tuned and keep your eye out for its availability on Amazon as both a paperback and an ebook! As always, be sure to spread the word and support indie authors <3
My 3d remake of the cover of C. J Cherryh's Gates of Ivrel, originally painted by Micheal Whelan. This cover is from the original 1976 yellow spine edition. I modeled it from the cover of my copy, which is actually the 1980s reprint, with slightly different text that covers more of the image.
I find it ironic how little the seemingly warm, desert like environment of the painting corresponds with the cold, wintry setting of the book.
but at the same time I think it does capture something about the characters and the story. the looming nature of the gate, and the dramatic unsheathing of Morgaine's sword are both import features of the novel.
the covers became more accurate as the series went on, but IMO they also became less interesting.
This is made in blender, with texture painting in substance painter.
