I'm now painting the cover for Calamity Jack. It should be finished tomorrow, and while I can't show you what the final cover will look like, I can show you some cover concepts that
weren't chosen.
These are all quick color sketches. This is the only one that actually had the title sketched in.
The theme is fairly similar, Jack, Rapunzel, a guy with goggles and a flying green dress in a snowy, crumbling city-scape.
This pose is really goofy, but I like the perspective on the buildings below.
This one's a little different, just showing Jack and a random dwarf character on some kind of train-track contraption.
What do you think? Any favorites?

I really like the second-to-last one.
I like the Charlie's-Angels-esque cover.
I hope the chosen one lends itself well to pumpkin carving. All of these would be tough.
The second one down is cool....
Hey, is that a fairy in the last one? (I know, it most likly is a spoiler...)
Oooohhh! This is the year of great-awsome books! I can't wait!!!!!

I like the second one and the last one; seeing all four characters together and bits of the city make it more interesting. And I'm intrigued about the goggles guy and the little green fairy. Looks awesome.
I don't know what fairy you guys are talking about. In my notes I said there was a "Flying green dress." I see that, but a fairy? What fairy?
Wow, the mood comes through so well! That looks different from the Old West of the last one. I'm thinking Gotham, Sherlock Holmes, Gargoyles, etc. Fun!
Every time I see the Space Station Nathan flag flying (S.S.N) I think I can click on it and get your social security number.
Hi Nathan,
Is that Rapunzel's braid ..I thought that it was cut off in 'Rapunzels revenge'
Regards Prashanth
