I’m getting down to business on a cover for the illustrated edition of Waiting for the Enemy, and this is the first version of the cover that I did today. It’s probably going to make more sense to do it in oil or to clean it up in photoshop to make it look cleaner than this. I don’t really want to, but I am going to listen to the advice I get. Seeing a painting in person and seeing it reprinted are not the same, so I want to make sure that I make the best cover I can make. I also won’t really have control over the printing of this since it’ll be made available through amazon and that means if it looks bad, then it’s my fault and I can’t blame anyone other than myself. And I definitely don’t want to blame myself. Who wants to take responsibility for their own failures?
