My process began with a deep dive into the world of dark fantasy book covers, identifying successful designs that resonate with the target audience. This research, coupled with in-depth discussions with C.M. Stewart about her vision, fueled the creation of 2-3 unique cover concepts. Each digital illustration explored themes central to the narrative, ensuring the final design would be both captivating and commercially viable across physical and digital platforms. Through a collaborative revision process, I refined the chosen concept, meticulously ensuring it perfectly captured the essence of "Black Eclipse."
