Making of a Generic Urban Fantasy Book Cover

Jan 13, 2012 13:20

Wow, it seems you guys really like watching me contort myself into all kinds of unnatural positions. You're a bunch of sadists and I love you all.

For those who are new around here (hi, new people!), every Friday night I have a movie night with my children. We rent a couple of movies and cuddle up on the couch, all warm and snuggly. Hey, we're Canadian, we'll take the warmth where we can get it. Sadly, there's not enough room on the couch for all of you to join us, but because you're invited in spirit, I like to share a video on Fridays. So get the popcorn, it's movie night!

With my mind still on cover art, I can't think of a more appropriate movie to share this week than this "making of" video, where an artist creates a mock-up of an urban fantasy novel cover.

Interested parties can see the final artwork this-a-way.

And yes, of course the attempt at making a generic urban fantasy cover includes a butt shot, a tramp stamp, a full moon, and a mostly naked woman showing off her "assets." Of course it does. Why wouldn't it?

oooooh movies
