Anime Watercolor Chapter Painting for my Fantasy Book
This is another chapter image for my fantasy book. It is a bit of a work in process. On their own, people seem to like them a lot. I put a lot of thought into the chapter images.

Watercolor Anime Chapter Image
This is another one of the in between chapter images I created for my book. I have been loosing a bit of steam with that idea. It is a bit of a pain to insert the images into the word document.
