Empty Vessels book cover art

I was recently commissioned to do a piece for the cover of Meredith Katz's book, Empty Vessels! For more information on it and where to buy, check out Soft Cryptid Books on twitter: https://twitter.com/softcryptidbook/status/1162883817167712256

Wrap-around cover art.

Final with text. I did the art, and the text formatting was done by Aveline Reynard.

Client sent details of what they were looking for and I provided sketches based on their concepts.

Early layout process and placing colors to get the mood. Photobashed a forest in the background. The dark areas are the spine and beyond the book's borders, but provide space for the art in case I wanted to resize items.

In the process of rendering the face and details.
