While digging through storage recently, Michael found the preliminary concept that DAW chose to develop as the cover art for The Madness Season, a science fiction novel by C.S. Friedman.
Michael lamented that it was kind of rough and that he’d found it too late to feature with the cover art, but I was thrilled. It’s a rare occasion when he shows me something I haven’t seen before.
Funny thing, I realized while putting together the post for DAETRIN that I somehow missed another concept in my archive—the wildly abstract image featured up top, so I added both concepts to the post here on Substack.
While we don’t have original art to release today for Whelan Wednesday, we do have bonus content: these two concepts available for everyone’s viewing pleasure plus an exclusive digital wallpaper of DAETRIN that our paid supporters will find links to below the cut.
Hope you enjoy these goodies. Have a safe 4th of July!
