Cover: “Death by Cake” by Melanie Ray

by | Mar 5, 2012 | ,

I recently redid the cover of “Death by Cake” for author Melanie Ray.

She wanted something to show the dark humor plus a childish twist.

Hippie hero, death by sweets, never ending childhood for young and old, and an interesting hit on the newest resident? Welcome to Lost Secret girls and boys! This is a story of childhood…that’s not for children.

Shari Kari is in trouble. She just broke up with her boyfriend, but now he’s got a hit on her. Her supportive sister tells her to get out of Calibri City and into a small safe town: Lost Secret. Famous for being the one-stop drop town for the rich and famous’ children. No crime. A Town where even adults like children. She finds a friend in Timothy Varmen, and a semi-happy life, until her special condition gets out of control.

Ezekiel is the town’s Champion Paladin. While acting like a big child himself, he’s taken on the extra duty of trying to ‘save’ the new local resident, whether she likes it or not.

In this town, a man must learn to grow up…while a woman must learn to grow down.

Scandals. Inhibitions. Temptations.

This is a story of childhood…that’s not for children.

New, New, and….new!

If you hadn’t noticed, I did a lil revamping on the blog today. Trying a new theme, gave the header a lil boost to work with the new theme, and fixed up the “pages”.  I also added a new page, one just for the Pre-made Covers. I was afraid the post was going to get lost in the mix. I’ll probably be rearranging the images on the Photography and Digital Abstracts page in the next few days.

I already posted about the latest commissioned cover, but I also added a new $30 Pre-made cover. Simple, yet intriguing.

 

Vector Covers

by | Feb 23, 2012 | ,

Looking around my page, it’s probably pretty obvious I do a lot of photography or photomanipulation work. Most of the book covers I’ve done have been on that basis. But did you know, I also do vector drawings? (I also draw with a good old fashioned pencil and paper, and paint too…but shhhhh!!)

I know there are some authors out there who prefer a more classic, hand drawn artwork, versus the photoshopped cover work. In today’s day in age, yes, hand drawn can be done on the computer. All my vector images are hand drawn. There’s no stock or clipart involved. Just me, my mouse (need to get my tablet back!), and some software.

I have put together a Pre-made vector drawn cover to show as an example of my work. (For information on how to purchase Pre-made Covers click here)

If you have wandered over to my E-book & Print Cover Art Design tab at the top of this page, then you’ve probably noticed the price jump between a photomanipulation and a vector cover. Why you ask? Well, plain and simply, it takes me more time. I’m not working with stock images, I’m not taking bits and pieces of something already made to make something new. I’m starting from scratch.

My latest cover done for the upcoming book “Primal” written by Raven & Lain Bower, from Hydra Publishing.

Blurb: Pursued by a ruthless crime lord after witnessing the murder of an FBI agent, Wrey must rebuild the life they stole from her. When she meets mysterious Arvon Night, her precious new life unravels as she’s thrust into a web of betrayal, lust and violence.

Arvon knows he must slay Wrey to keep his secret safe from those who hunt him. Each hour his enemies stalk closer, ready to kill.

Can Wrey’s powers of nature and spirit help her survive the yearning and dangerous Arvon and the tide of peril he brings with him? Or will an opportunistic hitman take advantage of them both?
