Description I decided I needed to make a cover

So, here are some of the people who are going to be in my next NaNoWriMo story, Agent Dell Goes West:
Top left - Agny, Herd Leader of the Centaurs (distant descendant of Peggy and Agid)
Top right - Vergard Yokovson, Avatar of The Gods and self proclaimed protector of Yokov and Rori (and whatever children they end up with)
Middle - Agent Yokov Dell, Agent of the High King (in his official uniform with the sword he got last installment)
Bottom - Lady Healer Rori Dell, Healer of the High King (in her official uniform)

Vergard's Outfit and Rori and Yokov's Uniforms were all designed by the talented

Cloud Brushes  by


I think this is the first cover where Yokov actually looks happy Rori, however, looks like she's glaring at someone

Here are the previous covers I did -   

And here's the beginning of the story - NaNoWriMo 2017: Agent Dell Goes West - Part 1A thump and a groan woke Rori from her pleasant dream. She had been sitting on the banks of the river with Yokov and having a lovely, private, clothing not required, picnic.
Another groan made her sit up quickly and look over at her husband with alarm and concern. Yokov was making very unhappy noises and thrashing about like he was battling something in his sleep. Rori bit her lip. This wasn’t the first time Yokov had been gripped with bad dreams, but they seemed to be more often lately. She gently took his arm and shook it. {Yokov, my light, wake up. It is only a dream.}
The blond man groaned and opened his eyes, {Rori? What is it?}. He blinked sleepily at her, obviously aware that whatever the issue was it didn’t require him to be immediately alert.
{You were having a bad dream.} She stroked his hair and kissed his forehead. {Bad enough that your reaction to it woke me up.}
Yokov stretched and gave her an apologetic, if sleepy, frown, {I am sorry. I do not even remember w

Rori, Yokov, Vergard, and Agny belong to me aka

that's a very nice sword right there
well carved and decorated, just by looking at it, I can tell that it's not a sword of a mere warrior, it's a sword of someone with nobility! love it!

Thank you

Yokov hates it The King gave it to him to show his elevation in status, but Yokov thinks it's ostentatious and only uses it because it has a better balance than his old one

Great composition, I like the character design and their poses. You can tell from Rori and Yokov's pose that they care a lot about one another.

Ooo! This is such an epic design! I'm on the NaNoWriMo website now (Inky_RoseReads) if you need another writing buddy- although you could probably teach me a thing or too! lol

I'm at 4733 words right now, got surprised by a new character popping in, and getting things set for the journey (ie. wrapping up some things from the last story and establishing some things for this one)

Thank you! I'm going to hunt you down now! (I'm dragondoodle over there too )

Aurgh! The search thing is messed up on NaNo! I'll try again or maybe you can give it a try and find me

I can always use another writing buddy! It makes it more fun!

Awesome job! I love the composition and I can't wait to see the rest of this story! Making a cover does motivate one to do more on a series! Yokov looks so protective of Rori here. It's adorable!

dragondoodle In reply to charcoalfeather [2017-10-22 23:24:30 +0000 UTC]

Given what I've put him (and her) through, he's got a legit reason to be protective

On the NaNo site they actually say that uploading a cover makes you 70% more likely to finish Don't know if that's really true but it sounds good.

I've got a pretty good track record, mainly because once I start I need to know how it ends just as much as anyone else
