The Masque of Mandragora

Sorry it’s been a while since my last update, but to be honest, when the DVDs come thick and fast like they have so far this year, the pressure to keep up to date with covers can become a bit overwhelming. Then, once you accept some are going to be ‘late’, the urgency diminishes. So fear not, I will get covers done for all the releases as soon as I can.

On that note, the Peladon covers are in hand. However, I’ve had a rough composition for The Masque of Mandragora in my mind for ages (specifically using the shot of the masked Hieronymous on his throne) so I thought I’d get that out of the way (relatively) quickly rather than delay it further while I worked on the Peladons. Click here or on the thumbnail to go to Velvet Jacket to download. In fact, my thoughts on The Space Museum and The Chase are more advanced (including a potential new departure for the latter), so I may do those before the Peladon duo too. Just remember, patience is a virtue

Planet of the Daleks

Hi all, more delays but here’s my cover for Planet of the Daleks. Took a little while to get this to hang together right – as you can read about here – and as a result it’s not one of my favourites, but I hope you think it’s ok.

Feeling the pressure a bit with all the boxsets and double-packs either already out or imminent – more Pertwee with the two Peladon stories, then after Masque of Mandragora there’s Space Museum and The Chase, then the Myths & Legends box. Why do they overload the start of the year so much? So I’m afraid you shouldn’t expect covers to appear too soon after release as sadly I’m already playing catch-up this year. But I will plug away at them when I can – rest assured, there’ll be Velvet Jacket covers for every release…eventually!

Frontier in Space

My cover for Frontier in Space is now available to download – click here on on the thumbnail.

Took a little longer to get it finished than anticipated – blame Super Mario Kart Wii for hogging my attention over Christmas! I’ve got the composition for Planet of the Daleks in my head but it involves cutting out lots of Daleks (thankfully not 10,000) so we’ll have to see how my patience bears up, but I would like to get it completed before my Peladon boxset arrives.

The Keys of Marinus

My cover for The Keys of Marinus is now available to download from Velvet Jacket. I’ll get some notes about its creation up shortly – in fact, here they are.

Some time off work has allowed me to catch up with the release schedule with the last three covers, but it’s back to the grindstone tomorrow so I probably won’t get Frontier and Planet completed until the Christmas break. Low on ideas for the former at the moment anyway, but I do aim to have them finished before the end of the year so I can push on with the Peladon covers in January, as it looks like being another year of relentless releases. Good to get the DVDs but hard work to keep the covers up to date. I feel for Clayton!

As ever, any thought or comments, do post them here or drop me an email.

Cheers
JC
