Medieval book cover with the title 'The Chronicle Of Colark'

The Chronicle Of Colark

An immersive full-wrap fantasy book cover created for The Chronicles of Colark. This illustration blends dynamic character storytelling, cinematic lighting, and large-scale battlefield composition. I designed every warrior, pose, costume detail, and environment element to capture the chaos, emotion, and raw energy of a climactic tribal clash. From the foreground heroes charging through mud and broken terrain, to the storm-heavy skies filled with arrows and torn banners, the scene is crafted to feel alive and intensely narrative. This project showcases my specialization in: • Epic fantasy battle scenes • Dynamic character posing • Detailed costume & weapon rendering • Large-scale crowd compositions • Atmospheric lighting & environmental storytelling • Full wrap (front–spine–back) cover layouts If you’re looking for a cover that feels cinematic, dramatic, and built with meticulous illustration detail — this is the style I bring to your story.

Echo des Erde (Book 2)

“It takes no magical talent to awaken calamity.” Sixteen years after the war in the Nila Valley, a new threat looms over Troa: inexplicable earth fires throw the Umbra into turmoil. All signs point to black magic. Yet the source of the evil appears to lie in Molus of all places—a land where there have traditionally been hardly any magically gifted people. Together with Tek’s daughter Glinda, Lirg sets out to investigate the neighboring kingdom. In Molus, the two become entangled in a web of lies and intrigue that drives Lirg to make a fateful decision against his own allies.

Book cover for a young adult fantasy novel

The pendant is round, with a gaping hole in the center. The middle is thicker than the edges, like a smashed donut coated in gold. Rather than sprinkles, the golden donut is decorated with intricate ridges and interwoven gold strands. A thin gold chain loops around my neck and through the center of the pendant. Engraved around the center are what intrigue me most of all: strange symbols.

Wielder of Shadows - Fantasy Book Cover Design

This book cover is available for licensing, message me if interested. The artwork would fit a fantasy story that incorporates a character with abilities like summoning darkness/shadow/a dark power with a magical object like a gem or crystal. Little changes can be made, like the floating crystal I placed above his hand that he does the summoning with. While the black smoke, background and crystal are made using photos, the character is posed and lit in the 3D app, Daz3D. His pose and looks are easily adjusted which gives a lot of option also for a series of books.

Medieval book cover with the title 'Warriors, Sword & sculls'

Warriors, Sword & sculls

CH: A pile of skulls sits on dirt surrounded by a tall green grass. Protruding from the pile of skulls is the hilt and part of the blade an ornate sword. Above the green grass is a blood red sun (maybe with some wispy clouds) on a red horizon. I am still updating the name of the book. I am going to go with "Chronicles of Colark" or "Warriors of the Jade". I would focus the first drafts of this on the image and less on the name. I also like to have my author name at the bottom of the image and the title at the top.
