The first four book cover illustrations I designed for Fantasy Horror writer Brooklynn Dean's "Anti-Gospel" series of novels. The brief for each of these novels consisted of a basic plot synopsis with major story beats to emphasize, after an initial few comps the author approved the final design to take to color.
Once the front cover was finished a rough layout for the entire cover, spine included, was comped out and then adjusted when the page count for the novels was finalized.
I am slated to continue doing covers for her novels for the foreseeable future for this series, and future series as well.
