Description
I finally finished the inside cover for book 5! Usually I want to have a generic/uniform style to book art, I don’t really want it to feel like 3 different people drew the cover, interior cover, and the story itself. But I made the mistake of picking colours I don’t conventionally use initially and trying to make it look a bit more than just lots of uniform white/grey/peach/gold/violet etc shading, and the rest of the piece was built upon those colours, so it ended up this way ): I am still ok with it, but I know it would look a lot better if I had just done something generic and simple, like my minstrel piece. Better luck next time!
I will hopefully be returning to my 4 pieces a month schedule in March; book 5 is almost done

wait wait wait--is this because all your faithful readers were super dismayed when Veloce was all "who needs fancy clothes?" and just wore her normal outfit? is this the dress Weirin picked out for her that we never got to see?
because that would be hilarious and awesome.
also i like that she looks like a ghost. it's very appropriate for the whole book 5 vibe.

You know, I can't really tell who this... It doesn't look quite like Veloce... Is she a character we haven't met yet?? :^•

i like this picture a lot. it's nice to see veloce in a different atmosphere. seems like in her past representations, she looks very tough and cold. here she looks very delicate, fragile, and vulnerable in a way- it is very ethereal and beautiful.

Well, Veloce sudden turned out to have emotions and stuff, so the new melancholy theme and palette probably sorta reflects that change
