Bittersweet Promises Cover v.2

This is the revamp of the Bittersweet Promises cover.  The original version of the cover only had the background image and title/author text, and was done quick since she had to get the book up with a limited amount of time. 

For the most part, there wasn't a lot to be done with this one except some clean up.  I added in facial and body hair on the man and evened out the woman's skin tone.  The hardest part was making the sweat.  I'm not overly satisfied with it, but I'm hoping to go back at a later date and fix it.

The Wormhole Project Cover

The finished cover for the upcoming science fiction release of The Wormhole Project by CL Smothers.  This one was fun, mostly since CL had a very clear idea of what he wanted.  The hardest part was finding good star brushes.  The apple was my own creation, and I was super happy that I got a chance to create my own stock for a change.

Also, the binary code says 'The Wormhole Project', repeated several times.

dA Portfolio

Several weeks back, I started putting together a portfolio on dA Portfolio.  Right now, I have a few categories up.  A lot of what's in it so far are items I've not posted here on the blog, so it's worth chekcing out.

DAC "Supernatural Love Story" Entry

Level 2 entry for Dark Art Challenges "Supernatural Love Story" Theme

Neither would ever be able to move on from this night. The Lady would know only pain and sorrow the rest of her days. The murdered Lord would forever haunt her steps, unable to comfort her while watching her once vibrant being waste away to nothing...a fate worse than death.

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.

Ghost Hunting Diary Vol. 3 Book Cover

Another book cover commission for Trana!  This one is for the third volume of her ghost hunt diaries.  All of these stories are true, and I'm in a few of them.  Like her other books, this one will be available to download on Kindle.

Anyway, she just needed something simple for this one.  I originally had gone out and taken pictures of the tree that is featured in one of the hunts, but I couldn't get the image to darken enough without distorting it.  The stock image used is actually fairly similar, so it worked out in the end.
