Winter Prey Cover

Cover for Trana's upcoming Mystery/Thriller release, Winter Prey.  I have been waiting ages to do this cover, and I'm glad that she is getting the book out.  I helped edit several of the chapters, along with our Writer's Group, and can't wait to read the finished book. 

The most difficult thing on this one was finding the eyes to use for the creature.  After a lot of looking here in dA, I went over to Dreamstime since Trana still had some credits left.  I was originally going to have the eyes just under the title, but they didn't show up well on the mountain background.  The reflection effect on the lake is much better and gives it a good bit of creepiness. 


I've already gotten a lot of greats comments on it, so I'm very excited that it has gone over well so far.
