Private Comission - Manay the Shrunken Head

 Meet Manay, a commissioned sculpture of a beautiful shrunken head. Carefully sculpted, with almost a dozen layers of paint and sealant, Manay currently resides in a private collection in Belgium.

Cover Art - A Taste Of Honey by Lindsay Kiernan

A TASTE OF HONEY is a light historical romance about a girl named Katherine Wellings in London with her twin sister. She's the ward of Mrs. Brentley, a famous "husband hunter" and is trying to find a man that fits her mothers definition of what a good husband should be - that means rich and titled, not much else. But Katherine wants someone she can love too. Enter Garrett, Mrs. Brentley's son. He likes what he sees in the impetuous but sheltered Katherine and is determined to show her that love can win all.

This is the second cover I've done for Miss Kiernan, though this will be her first released of the two. Like her first novel, Lindsay wanted a lighter feel to her cover, with a modern animated flair. It was a lot of fun drawing and designing it and look forward to the next two in the series she has written! I believe A TASTE OF HONEY is scheduled to be released as an eBook on March 22nd, learn more about it on her website, www.lindsaykiernan.com.

(Note that the description of Ms. Kiernan's book was written by me after reading it, and should in no way be interpreted as a definitive description of the plot.... I just design the covers, folks! hahah)

More Head Shrinking

 Smitty has his first layer of base paint laid in, with the final sculpt mostly finished. He looks a little lonely without the stitches in his mouth and eyes.

Here's the back of the head, where you can see the stitches and puckered, shrunken skin where the natives extracted the skull, filling the skin with hot sand.

 

And here's a new work, a private commission. This guy's about twice the size of Smitty and has 20 inches of luxurious hair.

Book Cover - Reluctantly In Love by Lindsay Kiernan

It's my honor to share my cover for Lindsay Kiernan's debut historical romance, 

RELUCTANTLY IN LOVE!

This cover was a lot of fun to work on, as we tried different things to give it a classic feel with some modern touches. And I wanted it to look great in thumbnails when it is released on Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble February 15th! 

As always, I am available for commissions, email me at DeeplyDapper(at)Yahoo.com for details or a price quote.
