"Timbretock" is the cover art for my illustrative fairytale fantasy narrative of the same name. It was painted digitally in Photoshop using GrutBrushes' Bellstone art surface as a textural base. In Timbretock, an ancient time-devouring fae meets an ill-fated boy, Luan, that is not a boy, but a once mirthful, dancing speck of sea-foam in a wave's rolling masquerade dance. He is cursed to return to the surf of the sea, the Ball of Glass Waters, and leave the girl who entranced his heart. Luan selfishly fractured the laws of his kin for Miyako, turning mortal to dispel her from a ritual drowning. Made sacred vessel of the living night, yet to have survived it, Miyako struggles to live a life that is hers, drawn to Luan and his web of glass lies. The time-mongering fae, Timbretock, too has secrets--one a steep bargain for Luan, the boy that is not a boy, to change their fates.
