Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Actually, the cover with the jet set life was my first draft. But the real figures did not match the drawn houses. So I looked for photos of skyscrapers and let them circle. So the cover looked a lot more dynamic and J2 are right in the middle, surrounded by wealth and power. I liked it so much that I submitted it as the second prompt. Everything else was a sure-fire success. My author and I coordinated with the story, exchanged ideas. With each finished chapter I got new clues and inspiration. I looked for symbols of the cities, clues ... - everything that went with the story and underlined it. There was Jensen's house, the peonies and the rainbow balloon, the impala and a lot more. The little things, icons, colors came to mind in the course of the collaboration. I was fine-tuning my art until the release date.
I had a lot of fun designing the company signs. The Ackles shield should look older and dated, while the new Padackles shield should be modern and chic. I love it when everything fits into an overall concept and have always tried to do some things the same and some things differently. I hope I managed to show dynamism and unity.
I am an avid fan of your art and love reading your art posts. I especially like "Black Cat Mercantile", "Storm's Eye",
"There's a UFO over New York and I ain't too surprised" and "Not Fit To Live On Land". I have just finished reading GRIMOIRE and now I see brownies with completely different eyes. Your works of art are inextricably linked with the stories or the stories with your works of art. I wanted to achieve that too.
