Hunger games redesign I did! when I had first read it I imagined more of a mockingbird for the mockingjay. I wanted the cover to look like a set for a play.
Pitch to the artist: deco propaganda poster + space opera.
Author’s sketch (also sent some of the Pinterest design board images)
Artist’s response sketch
Artist’s first pass
Artist’s 2nd pass (color change, add details) - this story is all about an alien race that turns music into a visual immersive experience so the color is key
Artist’s 3rd passes (fixing aliens)
Author’s brightening response (covers when they go to press tend print 2-3 shades darker than we see in digital)
8. 9. Artist’s detail work passes and testing options
The final cover!
Book pitch:
The aliens are coming for us and they want our voices!
Meet Jess Amiko, a security contractor at an archeological dig on an alien world! Until, well, things then start going bad. 👾
This is a book cover I did for the soon-to-be-released sci-fi novel “Kenai.” If you read sci-fi/fantasy and like supporting indie authors, you should check it out. :)
the ADHD urge to start over again!! Taking a different approach. I'm also simultaneously starting the final art for the kids book i'm illustrating so i started imagining this as a YA graphic novel book cover??
