This was a fun project! The author provided me with an excerpt from the book, and I created the cover based on that info. The scene was set on a lonely, dark country road, in an old red vintage pickup. The headlight glow and road light were added using Photoshop. The moon was bright and there was one dead tree that always appeared to be reaching out for you when you came around the bend. There was a very detailed description provided of the sword, which I created and the author said was dead-on.
