Description
Please 'Full View', the detail is sharper!This image is the cover artwork for ‘Twisted Threads’, a fantasy novel by Ryan Kinsch. The book features both darkness and light, wolves, dreams, spirits, trees and various other spiritual and medieval fantasy elements.
For the design of the cover I needed to capture a balance; fantasy that would suit both young and adult readers. I wished to paint the magic of fantasy whilst avoiding cliché and instead present something contemporary.
The lower half is designed to be simpler as this is where the book title and author line will be placed.
My sincerest thanks to `Astralseed for suggesting this as a DD and to ^wdwparksgal for featuring it. Also, thanks to everyone who has commented. I am very flattered! I appreciate the support from all who fav and comment! Thank you...now go check out the book!

This. Is. Amazing. I can't even believe it.
The colors and lighting are gorgeous, and the wolves blend perfectly into the smoke.
About the wolves, I love how they all look similar but seem to have slightly different personalities. Or maybe that's just me.
I'll definitely have to check out the book, too.
