More sneak peeks for my cover of The Fox's Crown! 😎

Antano Sparreboom @antanowrites.bsky.social · Jul 19

Now onto the first draft of The Fox's Crown cover art by @merilliza.bsky.social. We went for a combination of thumbnails B and D, so we have the heroic stance but also the cool lanterns on the ship. Expect a lot more colors, but the composition probably won't change much for the final version.

Fantasy, warrior, fighter, duellist, spear, epic

Recently I received the first sketches for the cover of my upcoming book, The Fox's Crown, and I'm already impressed. I was drawn in by the great fantasy illustrations on @merilliza.bsky.social's site. Check out her page if you're looking for a good fantasy cover artist!

Sorry. I need a lil break and need to vent a little. 🥲 (And maybe cry a lot.) I'm so stressed out haha.... I'm just choosing not to bottle it all up and at least have an outlet somewhere or I might really just implode. The past few months have not been easy. 😔

Sometimes, life really finds the perfect timing to kick you in the butt.

I'm in the middle of a move, on top of just going through heartbreak and acceptance of a relationship ending, now my work laptop decides to break itself in the middle of all this and my brain just wants to explode now pls. 😭

Volcanic slough- An oil painting of an volcanic environment at a dark, moody sunset. Glowing orange and yellow Lava flows over cliffs like a waterfall into a swamp creating steam.
The swamp water is a grey blue reflecting the lava flows and steam in some areas. There is a small rapids as the water flow exits at the right side of the painting.
A volcano in the background spews ash into the air as it is about to erupt.

Such a gorgeous piece! Jana has been so influential to my growth, as well as Anna Steinbauer. I think about Jana from time to time since she hasn't updated for a long time and I wonder what's happened to her 🥲. I miss her work. Hoping she's doing well.

A triptych of paintings dedicated to adventure, exploration and discovery (my favorite verbs). I always imagined if I made a game from this all it would be from this perspective.

A lone adventure rests on a stone bench by an overgrown pool, bathed in sunlight surrounded by the ruins of an ancient civilization.

Our adventure has delved to the center of the ruins and discovered the treasure that lies within. A golden chest surrounded by mysterious statues. What did they endure to get here, and will the reward be worth it?

A moments hesitation as our adventurer, torch in hand, approaches the entrance to the dungeon. Darkness lies within, watchful statues nearby, the opening like a monsters cavernous mouth.
