Creating Cover Art for My New Short Story / SNAKES

in #art8 years ago (edited)

Snakes is a three part short story I will be posting soon. It is about a small town that becomes overrun with snakes and how the people react.

In the meantime, to get you further interested in reading the story, I decided to post the cover art I created.

What you see above is the final art. This image began as a pencil drawing of a ball of snakes that I had done some time ago. I scanned the drawing to Adobe Photoshop where I added a blue background color. From there I cropped out the section I wanted and imported it to Adobe Illustrator where I added the text.

This is the original drawing I used as part of the cover. It started out as a doodle in a moleskin notebook, then became a much larger drawing on Arches paper, and finally a digital image.


Thank you for supporting my work.

Nice Idea!

If the town gets desperate, I'll rent them my kids!

Nice, good looking kids.

Brave little beasts too!

Real concentration needed to draw that ball of snakes, superb work!

As I recall when I drew it I had sort of a system to get all the intertwining correct.

Can't wait for the film version to be released, starring Samuel L. Jackon. ;)

Thanks, me too.

Really cool cover photo.

Thanks, I appreciate your comment.
