The ebook cover for the next story in the lineup, Heart of the Oasis, is finished! This one will feature a fantasy Egyptian setting and a jackal-headed Goddess as the main love interest. This is another piece from long-time friend and collaborator SickJoe, who has once again outdone himself with all of the detail and style that's packed into this cover. I wanted something very vibrant and colorful, with very fantastical themes, and he did an absolutely stellar job. Make sure you zoom in and check out all of the little touches that are packed into the jewelry and foliage. Bonus points if you know what band we're referencing with the pyramid design.

I'm aiming to start this one once Smoking Mirrors is finished around Halloween.

So much detail in the grass. It looks great

Wait, you're doing another separate story after your Smoking Mirrors project? Soooo, i'm guessing you're taking about 3 to 6 months off from your pinwheel series? Can't say i blame you after the sheer doorstopper that was Dire contingency. But still...

DtheCustodian

Damn, I really dig the composition here.

TwoRavens

Now I know what to listen to while reading the next story!

Snekguy

Probably about 3-4 months. The next Pinwheel story is another large military campaign focusing on the Jakkari, so we need a palate cleanser I think.

mraanonymous

Yeah, i'm not surprised. But wait. Whenever you do need a cleanser, don't you usually do a romantic comedy side story? I miss you doing those. I'm guessing you needed a total break from the pinwheel-verse? Any chance you'll do a Rom-Com sidestory before getting back into the thick of things? Ease yourself back into it. Oh, and why the Egyptian theme story? seems a little out of left field. Also, check your chats. I sent you some messages- oh, and a drawn artwork.

Snekguy

I do have a Rom Com planned involving Orcs which you may enjoy. We had a vote for the Halloween story and Aztec and Egyptian themes both won, so I decided to do two stories. I'll take a look ASAP!

mraanonymous

I appreciate that. The rom-com ork thing. But i was talking about doing another one for your pinwheel series- which always expands your lore. Which I live for. Ah, I remember the poll. Didn't care much for the options so i didn't participate. I don't know how to tell you this, but your non-pinwheel stories don't really interest me. I'm a poser. I know.

Snekguy

I have a lot more Pinwheel planned, but I think it's good for me and for the community if I take breaks every now and then. It keeps things fresh and provides some variety.

mraanonymous

Agreed. Though, i would still like that short pinwheel rom-com before you jump back into the next big project. Maybe something involving franklin. The singular city of only humans getting their first wave of xeno's races to their giant rancher/ game preserve planet. God knows the hunting-obsessed Borealans and nature-loving Valbarans would have a field day with such a planet. Any chance you're open to commissions? Food for thought.

The cover looks amazing, is the band reference Asia? Reminds me of the artwork for Alpha.

Glitch

The water coming off her hand is great.

Snekguy

Yep, you got it, it's Asia. I love Roger Dean's art.

Snekguy

Sorry, my schedule doesn't give me time for commissions, but I do have a lot of ideas for smaller Pinwheel stories that I'd like to do.

mraanonymous

Any chance i could get some hints? And i'm guessing it doesn't fit your canon timeline to do a sexy rom-com before the Jakkari show up? Bummer.

Noximilien l'horloger

Love the collaboration with other artists, it rly makes the settimgs feel more concrete

Hey Snekguy I’m curious can the MC from each story see each others partners

Greg King

This cover is, indeed, really beautiful! The colours are so vibrant and the detail draws the eye. Can't wait for the story!

Snekguy

The demons/spirits would only appear to those they wish to see them, so if that was their intention, yes.
