This my first official cover art, for the next book in Piers Anthony's Xanth series, Luck of the Draw, which will be released December 2012.

I’ve been a little anxious about this, since I am stepping in for the wonderful Darrell Sweet, who unfortunately died last December. He was an amazing artist with a long career of fantastic and iconic covers, and I hope I can do him and fans of the Xanth series justice.

I just saw this book in the store today, and all I could think was "This looks like the style that Julie Dillon on dA does" and lo and behold a quick search of the book finds it to be so. Great job!

Wow, did not know about Darrell Sweet. How sad. I honest found a difference in the cover art, however, it looked damn close enough to be considered a new style of Mr. Sweet's. I find your first effort fantastic!
