In the works

Ok...

Here is an in-the-works draft of the cover to The Templar #1.

It is quite time consuming doing all this without the proper equipment, and a complete issue may be too much to hope for at this time. If I stick to only rough-cut (no digital touch-up) , I am not sure how the results will be. Thoughts on the subject are appreciated. As for the design, I was inspired by some old pulp rags I found at the local second-hand bookstore. (I even found an old Nero Wolfe mystery in German!)  As I have been doing a bit of research into the Templars and the Crusades, It seems to have affected my All Hallows Eve.

The missus is to thank for the wonderful seamstressness (it's a word now).

The costume is a decent approximation of what the Tempars wore, and basically the standard worn during the events of "The Templar."

I have not heard back from the one shop, so I am reevaluating my standards. I have to keep this short, but I hope you enjoy the pics.
