Hollow Fields 3

Here is the tentative cover to volume three. It hasn't been finalized yet, so things within the artwork could still change. Will Lucy be able to triumph over the insidious odds stacked against her, or will Miss Weaver creep up from behind to snatch any chance of Lucy's escape from Hollow Fields? Stay tuned! Volume three is due out early next year!

We were going to go with red (that's my favourite colour), but because of all the red in the characters (Lucy's ribbon, stockings and hair, Notch, Stinch's hair, Ricketts and Weaver wearing purple/red clothes, the school ties being red) everything just looked washed out and overpowered with the red background. The green helps it stand out much better!
