In Celebration

r/MageErrant hits 1000 members

To celebrate r/MageErrant hitting 1000 members, I commissioned isometric voxel art of Imperial Ithos, before and after its destruction!

It’s even got the bioluminescent algae in the canals during the nighttime/before destruction shot!

Book Covers

A Traitor in Skyhold
Book Cover

Without further ado…

My newly-commissioned cover redesign for A Traitor in Skyhold, Book 3 of Mage Errant.

The Last Echo of
the Lord of Bells
Cover

Commissioning cover art for my novels is one of my absolute favorite parts of being an indie author ⏤ absolutely adore it. One of the few parts I like more? Getting to show off those covers, and talk about the process.

Into the
Labyrinth
Cover

In January 2022, I commissioned a cover redesign for Into the Labyrinth, Book 1 of Mage Errant.

For a description of the process (with, yes, a healthy bit of commentary), click HERE.

Jewel of
the Endless Erg
Cover

Over the last year, I’ve been replacing the covers of my old books with new covers using the same art team as the later books ⏤ Aaron McConnell and Lee Moyer ⏤ and I’m excited to be able to show you the next new cover, for Book 2, Jewel of the Endless Erg.

The Siege
of Skyhold
Cover

Part of the process for this cover involved a lot of back and forth on tricks to make the mountain of Skyhold look bigger (dropping the horizon line/shrinking the amount of desert, curving some of the contours of the mountain, etc).
