Donation Incentive: Get a Page of Original Art from A Distant Soil

Posted In: Blog, A Distant Soil Blog Posts, Art Posts, Blog, Colleen's Work

From now until August 27, I am offering a donation incentive: get a page of original art from the A Distant Soil for a $100 donation ($110 foreign).

Shipping by September 15 is GUARANTEED. If your package is not postmarked by September 15, you get your money back. No kidding. Remember, this guarantee is for the SHIP date, not the receiving date.

Be sure to let me know which character you would like to see featured on your art, and list a secondary choice as well.

My work is no longer available for online auction. I will not make any more appearances this year.

MANY prime pages with major characters remain.

UPDATE: YES, original art DOES mean an actual, hand drawn page of art from the series. Not a copy, not a computer print out. ALL my work is by hand and any page you get will be top quality, in excellent condition, prominently featuring a character of your choice (please don’t forget to list a second fave character, just in case).

Thanks so much for your support!

Publishing authors I admire is as good a way as any to get a chance to work with them. I was making good money on A Distant Soil some years back, so why not share the love?

One of my favorite authors is Delia Sherman, whose new website features “The Tragedy of King Alexander the Stag”, a story originally published in A Distant Soil. The text is available for free at this link, and several of my illustrations are included. It’s a gorgeous tale, and I hope you will take the time to read it. The site design is easy on the eyes, too.

Here’s one illo from the story that isn’t at Delia’s new website.

Alas, the original scans were lost, but we’ve done our best to restore what we could here.

Check out these literate and romantic modern fantasy works by Delia Sherman.

And below the fold, info about an upcoming signing and reading with Ellen Kushner and Delia Sherman:

How would you feel about life if Death was a cute little hottie?

Another commission down, this time for Adam Pezdek.

Always a fun time drawing Death! I’ve got a major piece of all the Endless I still haven’t finished, but most of my commissions are completed (or nearly completed) including one of Shade. But I never tire of drawing things from Sandman. Neil Gaiman magic…

My patrons are giving me a great deal of freedom with these commissions. Drawing one is a nice break from a difficult day of layouts or complicated inking. I spent yesterday working on Stealth Tribes by Warren Ellis – another massive double page spread – and I thought my eyes were going to dribble out of my head. That book has some of the most difficult drawings I have ever tackled.

Alas, I lost some of my lead time last week to being under the weather, so no slacking.

More commissions going up this week. Come back and see!

Hit this link to read my humble webcomic.

PS: pencil on colored paper, with colored pencil. 8″x10″.
