EE cover original

The uncut image for the third book in the trilogy, Eternity's Edge. I was really pleased with how the color came out on this one, though I did have some difficulty in getting the wings to look right. I tried mirroring them and then didn't like how it looked, so I ended up altering different parts on each wing to try and may them look more individualistic.

This image is of the character Aphral. It may be a little harder to tell, but the view is actually of his back and the top of his head. The spot of color on the head was intended to be an opal, not an eye, and after some tinkering with the color, I had to select an oval region and fill it with a supernova effect. Originally, I had intended to leave the oval spot open in the white so that there was a hole - the center of the supernova in the background would have shown through and looked like the opal. It didn't quite work out that way, so I ended up doing two supernova's: one on the head and one in the background. Over all though, I think this one turned out like I wanted, particularly with the blur.

  1. Sweet! I really like the colors and the glowing/blurred effect! I just wish it was bigger so I could see more detail!
