Concept art for the cover of "The Sorcerer's Lackey"
There are some advantages to being forced to stay at home. I’ve been indulging in a bit of electronic housekeeping and found some preliminary sketches of various characters from The Sorcerer’s Lackey that I want to share with you.
Derek Companion, the “wise one” who is, yeah, Hapless’ companion on his adventure. I like the slim moustache and supercilious look with the lowered eyelids he is giving us. Compare this version with the final cover.
I hope you like these drawings and how the cover evolved from concept to what is the published cover.
