[D] west side of paradise

yoyoyoyoooo i know i said i'm gonna be busy for a bit with exams but say hi to my pROcRasTInAtinG tRaSH aSS. lol no i lowkey hate myself xD 

anywayys, i reeally wanted to try making this object-based type cover and just couldn't resist the lure of my photoshop owo. this is for ninalynn_ i hope you like it!

the request:

title: West Side of Paradise

author: Nina Lynn

summary: On the edge of achieving fame, rock musician Adriel Cross finds himself falling in love with the wife of established actor Dominique Vega: Evangelina Lamontagne, America's most coveted model. What starts as a one night stand turns into a dangerous affair when Evangelina is hired as an actress on the set of Adriel's latest music video shoot. As the affair continues, so do the flashes of the paparazzi cameras, causing Dominique to act on his suspicions in the worst ways imaginable.

colors: Dark, but colorful as well. 

genre: Drama/Romance/Thriller

ideas: I would like my cover to reflect a dark paradise. Since my story takes place in Arizona, one idea I have is of a scorpion lurking/surrounding a flower (preferrably not the typical rose, but a beautiful flower). The setting of the cover could be in the desert, perhaps under a crescent moon. Feel free to add any other elements of paradise you can think of (mountains in the background would be nice, as well as cactuses, stars, palm trees). 

here's the cover :))

these are the original flower/scorpion pics

it was definitely kinda tough warping the scorpion into a natural-ish looking shape and colouring the flower so it fit the vibe. but ya, i kinda like the way it turned out. 

i'm acc so excited for summer when i'm free from all this stress and studying D: but my shop will definitely be open around the third week of june so keep your eyes peeled if you're wanting to request. i'll post updates on my message board :)). I CAN'T WAIT TO MAKE TONS OF COVERS WAAA

(as you can tell i'm slowly going insane from staring at my books all day) 

edit: i can't believe i forgot bc this has taken so much time out of my days but can we talk about GOT7s NEW COMEBACK :OOOOOO 

youngjae is literally the sexiest man in existence and this song is fully banging. okay that's all for real this time cool thanks bye.
