I’ve been working with an artist, Dave White, on a new design for the Giant Armors from my novel. Here’s what they look like:

It’s been wonderful. He’s a complete professional. Which mainly means:

• He gives me exact dates of when he expects to finish things.
• He get his work done by the appointed date, unless something truly unusual happens to stop him.
• He tells me when something unusual happens.

That’s about all I expect from a professional, and he’s fully complied, in contrast to other artists I’ve worked with. It’s sad; professionalism isn’t complicated. It just takes commitment.
