Book Cover

So, on the advice of some friends, I thought I'd start posting some of my attempts at illustration/graphic design. This one is the cover for a heroic fantasy book my brother is self publishing.



The tower, the staraxe, triangle, flames, and lettering were done by hand with colored pencil, then scanned into the computer for some slight touching up and realignment. Finally I added the red background from a photograph. On the whole it ended up pretty well (better on paper, believe me). I'm not happy about the lettering though...
