Fantasy book cover for AJ Calvin
My latest fantasy book cover commission for ! I’ve been working for long term client, AJ Calvin. This is Serpentus, here’s a bit about the novel..
Dispatched to Stone Hill to oversee the city’s defenses among nebulous rumors of the Shadow Council’s threat, Owen Greenwaters must rely on the city’s guard and its natural defenses to protect the citizens.
But when an army of mythical hooded ones bolstered by a sea serpent and the Soulless arrive in the wake of a terrible storm, he knows there is little he can do beyond hope the walls hold – and pray to the gods he and Stone Hill’s people will survive.
They are outnumbered, outmatched, and without magical support. Owen is the only knight present in the city. They will be overrun.
The Soulless are merciless and rarely take prisoners, but Owen and the survivors of Stone Hill are exceptions…
Below are a couple of the other covers I’ve worked on for AJ Calvin. AJ has me working on multiple titles across multiple settings. To say she has a successful body of work would be an understatement!
Should authors hire an artist for their fantasy book cover?
Of course as a fantasy artist, the answer from me is always a resounding “yes!”
But hiring a fantasy artist for your fantasy book cover is a crucial investment that can significantly enhance your book’s appeal. A professional fantasy book cover artist uses their unique skills to translate your vision to visuals that capture the essence of your story. For me, there’s nothing like the teamwork of working with an author to achieve this. A striking cover not only grabs the attention of potential readers but also communicates the genre and tone of your work effectively.
I have over a decade of experience working with authors and I use that experience to ensure that the imagery resonates with your target audience, setting your book apart in a competitive market.
It may seem like a financial outlay, but when you’ve spent months, often years perfecting your novel, it seems only right to give it the best chance of success. And, ultimately, a well-designed fantasy book cover will elevate your work, and potentially draw readers in. What better way to invite them to explore the world you’ve created?
