I've almost finished Scrivener's Moon, which I'll be handing over to Scholastic on Monday. It won't be published until next spring, but the speedy and hyper-talented David Wyatt is already hard at work on an illustration for the de-luxe hardback edition. It's still at the sketch stage so far, but it's looking very good, and marks a complete change of tone and colour-scheme after the sunshine'n'seagulls of A Web of Air. Apparently the thing that struck David about the new book was it's 'visceral savageness', which he's reflected with a blood-red pallette in his early designs. I'll try to post some of his colour sketches here over the coming weeks, but in the meantime I couldn't resist showing you his developmental sketches of Stalkers...
