Vanessa’s Art

Today, I’m introducing you to Vanessa’s main characters. Are they good? Are they evil? Are they a little bit gray? You have to read the books to decide.

Vanessa, tell me about how you created this artwork? It reminds me of classic fantasy when the artwork had depth and meaning and not just a pretty cover.

Vanessa: I used the NightCafé AI art generator to create all of the artwork for my series, including my book covers, promotional materials and these wallpapers, and I used Photoshop to size them to be used as desktop or mobile wallpapers. I generated hundreds of images before I got the perfect ones, but it was well worth the time! Those hundreds of images won’t be wasted either – most of them are really good even though they didn’t fit what I was looking for at the time, and some have been used in music videos for the series, as writing prompts for authors or to pretty up blog posts.

Like what you see? You can download this vibrant artwork for your computer, share it with your fans, but most importantly, download the books. Or share this blog with a friend who loves fantasy!

  • Gratitude is Going out of Style

    There’s a movement that is becoming a bit troubling to me, and I’m not talking politics, AI or the future. I’ll let other bloggers talk about that. I’m talking about gratitude. Writing thank you notes is becoming a lost art, even just writing a note in general is rare. And nowhere is the absence of

Winter was still showing her teeth no matter that it was officially five days into spring. The cats snuggled in their warm buildings with their bellies full.

    A candle for Silent Night

    She is 8, maybe 9. Her hair is blonde and curls up at her shoulders. She pushes her bangs out of her eyes, leaning forward to listen to the choir. She did not have a Christmas dress with sparkles or lace or black patent leather shoes. Her hair was not curled into long ringlets. She

    Be Still

    It’s all about the hustle, or is it? I stood next to our hosta plants, blooming with long stems of white flowers. I had just turned to say something to my family sitting on the desk, and something green and moving very fast zoomed around me. I froze. I would like to say it was

    I adjusted my gardening hat and turned to my husband. “How do I look?” Now any guy knows this is a dangerous question, but my husband is smooth. He gives me a crooked grin, and says that I look like my mom. And that’s a good thing. She was one of the kindest people I
