Gotta say, your boy here is proud of how the art turned out—a lonely, creepy night scene in a small town in the middle of nowhere, with just a hint of riot and terror. We’ve added a lot of Easter eggs in the illustration to give you guys a clue of the book's content. Swipe right to see the full wrap and all the details in the illustration. And check out the last panel to see the thumbnail composition sketch where I brainstormed the final idea.
We’ve got a couple more projects together in the future, so stay tuned, and thank you! 🙌")

A custom-made, hand-crafted watercolor landscape painting that embodies the heartfelt and poignant essence of Southern life. This piece vividly depicts a serene, warm Southern setting, with a touch of nostalgia, perfectly framing the deep familial bonds and their dog.
Target Audience: Women aged 30-50, passionate about family narratives and devoted to their love for dogs.")

Twenty-eight-year-old Muriithi is an African Zebu herdsman. As such, he lives life on a schedule. Water the Zebu, feed the Zebu, protect the Zebu. These are big responsibilities yet simple tasks. He enjoys predictable things he can plan for; the dry season, the wet season, the birthing of calves, among other things.
He detests unpredictable events; leopard attacks, droughts, and disease. Unpredictable events make his job difficult, and anxiety-provoking, and can even threaten the lives of his Zebu.")

:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/161/161036/attachment_161036715 "The throne room is ornate and well put together, clearly showing great wealth and accomplishment.
Rich blue banners with golden accents billow in the background with light streaming through a stained glass window behind the throne. The blue Victor symbol should adorn the flags
The Blue Victor symbol is a blue star with red accents. The V is the focal point of the Symbol.
The throne should be large and ornate, clearly projecting an image of absolute power and control with gold and other riches gathered at its base.
Next to the throne is a small ornate wooden bird stand with an owl resting on it. The owl should be small with a light brown and white coat of feathers. Use the face of a little owl with the coat of a tawney owl.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/161/161036/attachment_161036730 "In complete contrast to the blue side, the red side should reek of decay. Unlike the life that the room is full of on the other side, this room is dark and in ruins.
The banners should be torn and shredded, no longer hanging evenly with the stained glass shattered and littering the ground.
Sections of the wall should be destroyed, showing a dark and cloudy sky outside.
The throne, once large and imposing, should be almost completely destroyed to the point of feeling small and fragile.
Atop the broken throne should now sit a raven, with the owl and bird stand now completely gone. The raven should look like a common European raven.")

This project is something different from what we typically work on, but still well within my creative range. I love exploring different visual styles, and this one was no exception. After brainstorming with the editor and drawing inspiration from the author’s mood board, I worked to create a cover that followed the brief while adding my own twist.
One of the key elements was giving the cover a muted tone with a watercolor touch. So I limited the color palette but incorporated vibrant accents to evoke a sense of \"awe\" resulting in an almost liminal composition.")
