Book Design, Print Design

A cover I designed for Gabriel Stone and the Divinity of Valta by Shannon Duffy published by Month9Books.
Month9Books came to me with a cover design and custom illustration that just wasn’t working for them and didn’t fit the genre of the story.
This was the original design and illustration:
(Original cover design by Alicia Kat Dillman, illustration by Mark V. McKenna)
Month9Books wanted to use the original illustration but no longer had any of the layered files. So I took pieces of the illustration, moved them around, and painted around them.
The end result is much more cohesive and a better fit for the genre.
