Behind the scenes of Unfettered – Part 3

  This illustration is a favourite of mine. I love nature in all forms. So, this is the last of the Unfettered behind the scenes. Most of the other illustrations are created using the same technique.

Tastes for Unfettered

During the Unfettered mad panic scribblings from writers, we used the images as devices to keep the enthusiasm going. Writing is such a solitary process.

  The graphic novel is progressing and some exciting things happening with it next year. I’ll hope to update you soon on this. The story has bent and changed over time but where it sits now is pretty cool. I’m throwing myself into this project after a stint of freelance that had held me back…
