Sisters

A few years ago I had the opportunity to illustrate a short story called "Sisters of Sarronnyn: Sisters of Westwind" by L. E. Modesitt. At the time, there were certain time and budget restraints and the artwork suffered because of that. That has always bothered me and I have wanted to rework the art, just for my own satisfaction. Yesterday, having a little free time, but not enough to work on an oil painting, I started reworking this illustration in Photoshop. Here is a copy of the current painting in progress, as well as the original art, for comparison.

I like aspects of both of these, Kevin. I like the line work of the bottom one and yet prefer the composition of the top one. Both are wonderful. I would pick up a book based on both covers. So glad to know you are returning to get your MFA.
