ILLUSTRATE A NOVEL ONLINE

~LiamSharp:iconLiamSharp: reports, July 23, 2008
Inspired by Rich Johnson's amazing Erth Chronicles gallery (www.erthchronicles.com) I've decided to follow suit and invite you to illustrate the world of Machivarius Point. Be warned, the themes are mature and violent - as you'll see in the first chapter published at the link below - so please don't submit material if you're under 15.
As with Rich's world, I'm wanting to showcase top notch art, which will receive even more exposure when the book comes out within the next four months or so.

Visit the beta site here: [link]

Books one and two are up as initial inspiration, but anybody seriously interested can get the full, unformatted Word document of the novella to read if they leave their email address and a note to that effect on the site.

Very best, and have fun!

Liam.

NOTE: The illustrations will not be published in the novel, but the novel WILL feature the web address so readers can view the work online.

Nice, Liam!

Looks like it might be loads of fun, and right in there with the kind of work I like to create. Good excuse to see if I can pull off some more paintings along the lines of the 'Deathdealer' painting I showed ya a while back. ;)

Talk soon :ahoy:

So let me get this straight. The idea is to create a piece of Fanart based on Machivarius Point, is that right?
:iconliamsharp:
That's about the size of it! If you check out Rich Johnson's site you'll see how contributions from artists have created a really vibrant and rich world online. Such a wonderful idea. And as my book will also be published by Mam Tor it seemed like a good idea to try the same thing.

Very best,

Liam.

This is a really cool idea. I'm sure the response you get will be good. I might have to travel outside of my comfort zone to see if I can produce something in this genre...
