It wasn't easy raising three girls with Fae blood in the Outlands.

Only he's no fool- he knows right away Kai isn't quite human. And three girls of courting age?

When There's No Tomorrow

Winner of the contest for the book cover "When there's No Tomorrow by H.J. Stephens. This design is a combination of multiple images. First is the foreground element, the girl. The next one is the battered road. Then, I combined a few images of ruined buildings and structures to fill in the background. Lastly, the dark sky. I then finalized the design by placing a few adjustment layers to make the color consistent.

Post-apocalyptic book cover with the title 'Zombie Post-Apocalypse Sci Fi Book Cover Design'

Zombie Post-Apocalypse Sci Fi Book Cover Design

Design Brief: Hi, for illustration I would have liked to have had my two main characters in the foreground, back-to-back looking at each side. Maybe put the young man on the right? So my two characters are: a young man (as said before), half-long black hair, gray-green eyes, in medieval armor. If it can look like the one on the cover of my first book (attached file), it would just be perfect. And a young woman, half-long blond hair also (up to the shoulders), blue eyes. Both have a bite on the right forearm (very important), that of the man returns a purple light, while that of the woman, a light blue. Behind them, I will have seen on the side of the young woman, humans (still alive I mean) with bows that aim/shoot on an external threat. Same thing on the young man's side but they're zombies (yes it's a bit weird, but that's the plot of the book) and they would have guns. For the bottom, ruins in a forest if you can. For the writing font, I'll give you the choice.

Post-apocalyptic SciFi Book Cover

The cover is based entirely on the book's back cover copy. The title seemed like a good opportunity to create an interesting visual that would wrap around the full. Also reading the first chapter up on the author's website, I decided to represent the "nuclear winter that consumed the world" with a color palette that evokes a dark and cold feeling.
