Third time's a charm! I originally started all these drawings because I wanted to redraw the Folk of the Air covers/book jackets but needed practice. I'm really happy with how this one turned out, so here's the Wicked King!

A fun book cover illustration for an amazing middle grade novel by Kaela Noel! Talking cats that wear clothes and read books, plus magic — truly a joy to read and work on. I have a few interior illustrations as well that I’ll share later on. It comes out in April from HarperKids Greenwillow Books✨ many thanks to my wonderful art director Paul Zakris, especially for choosing my favorite sketch.

I am making a “book jacket” based on Privilege of the Sword by Ellen Kushner. It is going to be in the style of a doublet. Very Elizabethan. This is the back. I have a black rose embroidered on the back to represent a character in the book. I am going to surround the main flower with flowers in bisexual colors. The jacket will be covered in embroidery using white thread to look like lace and swords. So far I have used old curtains (the teal/blue color), leftover fabric from a sale (green velvet) and a thrifted tablecloth (the green floral fabric). So far the base jacket is done. I might add pieces to the shoulder which will require seam ripping. I am not satisfied with the fit. It is not the best work. Most of that is because I made my own pattern for this and I’m learning, part of that is using a sewing machine on the floor. Overall I very happy with how it looks and I am having fun learning.

The silly beetle is done!
Now here is the cover of what would be the first book in the series. I may consider making a fanfic out of this, who knows!
