some concept designs
and old classics








Hi Everyone
  Hope everyone is well, must admit I am feeling a bit rubbish at the moment, not ill, just flat, like everyone else i suspect, so I won't dwell on it.
  What I will do is give us all a little fun, by presenting two covers from The Adventures of Lady Jane. Both of these discoveries are from the same classic story,For Crown and Country, the one which saw Jane battling outside forces bent on overthrowing the British Crown. As ever she is backed up by her beautiful and mysterious nephew Andy, here showing us some of his many hidden skills and talents.
  As ever I will be back after.
Enjoy

   What I like about this one, apart from Andy's motorbike leathers, is hopefully the capturing aspects of their characters, never before seen.  

   For the first time we see Jane's naughtiness and hint at her sexuality, whilst still reveling in her zest for adventure. There is something in her pose, she is cool and calm, her stance is measured and correct, her aim true, yet with all this going on, guns and smoke grenades, there is a joy in the arch of Jane's brow, that lets us know it is all such fun.

   I also like the idea of Andy having many skills, to which we are not yet privy, here we see is skills on a powerful motorbike (classic Triumph of course) and with none lethal weapons of his own design.

   Enough, on with the next cover and can you spot the enemy

Ok so what is there to say after that. Firstly BOOTS!!!!! LOL

    Well here we learn that Jane shows Andy total respect, as a hint to modern ideals, she is asking Andy if it is OK for her to increase his Hummingbird and not just accepted that it would be. I also gave Andy control over the situation, by revealing it is his calculations which will place him in the right place at the right time to act as decoy for Lady Jane. This is a team.

   Again these are just a character things, a little details and depth, which i think adds to the images and the relationships between them.

   Finally and fear not, I am working on another image which will add backstory to the outfit Jane is wearing here. But that is from another story.

ps yes I just noticed the spelling error, but that just makes the cover even more valuable as later editions were corrected.

Ed Note. Nice catch

 Sorry for over writing but once I started I felt quite good talking about the images.
