How it works
1.
Request and early Ideas
Briefing of your request, discussing details of the contract. After the contract is signed by both parties, early ideas are brainstormed and discussed.
2.
Thumbnails and Moodboard
Thumbnails and Moodboard for placing elements and searching for the best composition. This is typically done in black and white and in a rough manner.
3.
Refinement Process
After the decision for a thumbnail that works best for the final cover, it would go into the stage of refinement and creating the final rendering.
4.
Finishing Line, Typography and Layout
Once the cover art is done or in a stage of getting done, the graphic design aspect with choosing fonts with the client and making them flow with the overall theme of the book would come into place. Optional material worked on afterwards.
FAQs
What if the formats I got are off?
Sometimes it happens that formats are slightly off, so the solution to that is just adjusting it to the needed formats and that is no issue. This can also happen, when the final page count is not yet known and then the artwork can be adjusted to the final format.
How frequent are updates/status for feedback?
In my business I send updates and ask for feedback on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, depending on the workload or if something is urgent.
What software do you use?
I mainly use Photoshop and Indesign. I also often times used Mandelbulb 3D and Chaotica Studio to create fractal renderings that were used for environments as a base to work on.
Do you just use digital painting or do you use other mediums or tools?
I use a high variety of tools and techniques to create the worlds for your book.
Do you use any A.I. in your work?
I do not use any kind of A.I. software or content on my work and I do not intend to in the future. Only in one case a client wanted me to use provided material generated by him, be it for reference or using part of those to implement in the artwork.
