A fantasy author needs a book cover for new novel
It’s a pretty normal that a fantasy author needs a book cover. It’s a service I love to provide. To create that point of immediate contact between an author and their audience. The old saying “don’t judge a book by it’s cover is only present, because more often than not, we do judge things on first impressions. The cover is the thing we see first, and therefore, becomes the first impression a reader will have of the book. Get this right, and you’re going to get a lot more interest than something with a poor or uninspiring cover.
Fantasy author Eddie Bar’s commission
Eddie Bar, a fantasy author found me on Twitter. Once I’d shown him some of my artwork, he commissioned me to work on his book, The Rose of Amzharr (above). I was pleased to hear his ideas for the cover. It was more graphic or stylistic than some of the more painterly pieces I usually work on (below). I love adding diversity to my portfolio, so this piece was a great new challenge for me.
