Romance CoverChevalier2


Just a little something to get me back in the swing of things.  I saw these two models and I knew I had to use it. The biggest issue was just getting the coloring and the lighting just right. I really like the end result.

Scifi3So I wanted to do some scifi book covers, and I actually recently purchased some scifi stock images and I saw the model while searching through Deviantart. I just had to make it. I really love it and although it looked simple, the text was the hardest part.

Home-On-The-Range2So I wasn’t really happy with my first cowboy themed book cover, and I wanted to do more work with male models and I so created this. I’m loads happier with this book cover than the other one. Everything in it is actually photo manipulated and I had a ton of fun making it.

St. Louis This is another book cover where I wanted to do something really diverse. I am all about diversity in media and in my real life and thought it was high time to put my money where my mouth is. Again, I saw the model and I was instantly inspired by blues, and jazz. Then, I thought about my friend Starr who has encouraged and cheered me on since the get go and she lives in Missouri. So I decided to do something with St. Louis, and then to parallel the who blues feeling I actually made it blue.

Shut Up and Drive I wanted have a more diverse set of book covers, and I decided to do something with a man on the cover. I saw this photo with the model and I was instantly inspired.  The model already had desert background, but I wanted to expand the scale of the background. I really like the end result.

Princess2nbI wanted to do more book covers, and challenge myself. The  main part of the challenge was to do a book cover from only from creative common images. And everything is in fact from creative common images.  I also wanted to have a good cache of book covers to sell this summer. I also wanted to practice on making original covers.  Also, I really wanted to use the model, because it’s very rare to find affordable stock images with people of color.

So I was cruising wattpad, because I thought it might be a good place to get exposure.  However, I saw some cute book covers and wanted to try my hand in making something similar. I actually saw the stock photo I used for a few days earlier. I really thought it was cute, and so I decided to do this. I actually used the new technique found with dodging and burning tool in photoshop.

Punk Rock Girl (Fire Down Below)So another premade book cover.  I was inspired by the actual stock photo which is fantastic.  I actually took a regular cityscape and set it in fire (well in photoshop)!  I actually like it a lot, and it didn’t take a whole lot of time to make.  I really loved how it turned out.

YA Book Cover So I wanted to dip into something YA Premade Book Covers. So I found a summary on Fictionpress. I liked the base concept, but I hated the name and decided to base this premade cover based on the concept.  I really like the outcome, but it took forever to tweak everything just so to make it as awesome as it came out.  This cover for me, is the best original cover to date,  and I practically made it on a penny budget.  I’m just so freaking proud of myself.
