CONCEPT
The Client commissioned a custom book cover for his fantasy genre novel, The Girl Who Sings To Dragons.
The artwork should set a darker mood at a forest's edge. A background of gray-toned trees achieves this goal. Requested elements include banners for the houses featured in the story, each with a swan or wolf respectively, and three black shields featuring dragons of gold, green, and white. A wolf skull nestles in the grass, and arrows with red feathers appear buried alongside. Bursts of red among the gray tones add contrast and are a nod to the color red, featured in the forests of the story. Bright green and gold stand in stark contrast to the grays of the background and draw the eye.
A customized font for the title, glistening gold, ties in the gold of the wolf and dragon and rounds out the composition. The back and spine of the cover are a continuation of the tangled forest trees and vines featured on the front cover.
