A picture book journey of my designs and artwork that I constantly work on as I develop arthritis. If you want me to make a graphic, come on in and let me know! Beware when reading, I'm unapologetically foul-mouthed sometimes and I like cracking dad...
This cover marks the second time I've made a design for amyrobinnz's Grendilton series. To say I was a fan of this series would be the understatement of the century. I'm a fanatic. I've invented ships and theories in my head whilst reading. I might need an intervention due to my obsession with Macey and her savage clapbacks.
Anyways! I'm getting quite comfortable doing urban fantasy covers or fantasy covers in general. So let me show you the process!

So, I started with a base picture. I love using black and white pictures as it lets me fully customize skin color, hair color, and even background color.

Next, I started on the skin color. His skin color is actually a mix of reds, oranges, purples, and yellows on SVG and Color layers.

Now for hair color, all I did was use two layers. The first is an Overlay layer with white painted over the hair. The next layer is a Multiply layer with a light chestnut color. Multiply layers tend to make things darker, so it gave the lighter brown color the perfect amount of darkness to emulate the color you see below.
