The client requested a cover in the style of a vintage movie poster, featuring seven key characters dressed in 1930s fashion.
Each character was designed and rendered based on client-provided sketches, then fully colored and illustrated with a semi-realistic style to bring them to life. I carefully arranged them in a central composition to reflect their roles and personalities, while using a red-to-black gradient background to enhance the drama and vintage tone.
The typography was chosen to evoke a theatrical and classic feel, with gold lettering for a premium touch. The project also included spine and back cover layout, with a clean and print-ready final file.
This kind of project is ideal for authors or publishers who want their characters to stand out and instantly communicate genre, tone, and personality — all at first glance.")

Lockwood. Set against a backdrop of stormy skies and surreal lightning, the artwork captures the high-stakes adventure of a futuristic rider on a golden bird, soaring across a volatile alien landscape.
The design emphasizes drama, energy, and wonder, aligning with the book's blend of science fiction and fantasy. The glowing skies and sharp lighting effects were digitally painted to heighten visual tension and reflect the story's climactic tone.
I handled the entire process from concept sketch to final polish, focusing on strong silhouette readability, expressive lighting, and cinematic composition.")
