New Book on the way for Solway
« on: July 13, 2015, 07:52:48 PM »
Right Guys

I am working of a couple of things for Hastings and Solway and here is the sketch for the cover of the new book. As I develop the picture more I will release more details of the book and let you know about the other book thats in the pipeline too.

Good stuff, methinks vbcw needs a shot in the arm to revitalize it.

Here is a wee bit more of the illustration and its progress. The illustration shows the People's Assault Column charging across a bridge under a hail of fire from the Edwardite forces while they try and wrestle a vital objective from their hands. This will be shortly gracing the cover of a new book just as soon as I get it completed. I will be saying more on the book once I have done a little bit more of the illustration.

Its nearly finished and all I have to do now is the wall. I have to say I am rather pleased with the way it is turning out and I think it will be a fitting cover for the book. As for the book there is another clue with this picture too, can you guess what the book about yet?

Well here is the finished cover and as promised a note on what the next book is going to be. Now just in case you have not guessed yet the cover is for the second flag book and that is going to cover the Anglican League, The Socialists and a number of the small factions too like the Welsh and the West Country. Also there are going to be flags on the counties and town too and depending on the number of flags this book might have to become two, sorry once I start on the flags there is no stopping me.

Also is the pipeline is another book on the Celtic Confederacy and Hastings has been beavering away on that. Once the text has been completed I will be sent it and then I can start my magic and get the illustrations done. Now I am very interested in getting that one done and I am sure it will be very interesting. So here the cover and so more flags.

lol I initially thought the last flag said "some rest freedom fighters" - they sound like a pretty lazy bunch.

Looking forward to a boost to the genre.

Looks great! What do you use as references for you VBCW covers?

I tend to use period photos for reference and a fair bit of imagination

I do hope there will be something suitable for various branches of the WI and the BUF Women's Section in there....
