This month took me from concept to completion of a cover for Andrew Leon's upcoming, soon to be mega-hit, Shadow Spinner. A novel he's been releasing in serial format for many months, but will soon see itself all in one novel length edition... hopefully with a cover much like what you'll see below.
In case you don't recall, here is what we saw on day one:
I spent two weeks trying all sorts of different things before I finally came back around to that concept and eventually produced this:
And for those of you that might be interested in what the front cover alone might look like:
Thank you one and all for stopping by throughout the month. Everyone's input has been a huge help!
Wow, with the title and everything, it rocks!

I like what you did with the font. That's always a weakness when I do a cover myself.
ReplyDeleteI didn't see much of the process, but I like the result! The initial sketch is intriguing.
ReplyDeleteWow I might just buy this book! Excellent finish Rusty.
ReplyDeleteI love the last picture with the title in the middle, looks awesome. I hope Andrew likes it as much as I do. I will be interested to see the absolute final when I eventually get the complete book.
