bodobe Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Hi, here's a new book cover design, it's an example of my work. "Waldeszorn" (Title is a little playful in german language) means something like "Rage Of The Forest". I appreciate any feedback from you, thank you very much :) http://b-bertuleit.de/waldeszorn/ Quote Illustration & Grafik bodobe.de Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 (edited) Hi Bodo, great atmosphere, here in the forest, green, moody and forbidding. It's as if the forest was trying to bury the evidence, before the girl can recover and escape from her fate. My only critique is this: you have covered her face and her eyes with the text and have left a lot of free space in the top portion of the picture (place the text there). We've lost a snapshot, of what is going through her mind. When it comes to painting eyes, you've got it down to a fine art.

Madame Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Hi; Bodo! Great work as always. The atmosphere certainly promise some chills down the spine! I agree with Peter, -I kept on looking for her eyes. I think that if you could see the expression in her eyes it would add to the composition. Other than that, excellent!! bodobe and peter 2 Quote - Affinity Photo 2.3.0 - Affinity Designer 2.3.0 -Affinity Publisher 2.3.0 MacBook Pro 16 GB MacOS Sonoma 14.1.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodobe Posted June 8, 2016 Author Share Posted June 8, 2016 Hi Peter, hi Madame, I know exactly what you mean. But the reader should not see the face, so he can make his own imaginations … (about the characters).However, I have added a second variant (with eyes) :) It's better for you now? Thank you! http://b-bertuleit.de/waldeszorn/ peter 1 Quote Illustration & Grafik bodobe.de Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Hey Bodo! Dankes. It's perfect. :D :D :D I really like the way that you placed the text is behind the girl's head. The image, background space and text is balanced beautifully: pure poster material. However, in my humble opinion your original image is more suited to film and television, when the title sequence fades the text in and out in the middle area of the screen. This is very Scandi(navian) drama-esque and draws you into the writer's world. peter PS eyes have definitely become your trademark, here in the forums. :ph34r: bodobe 1 Quote MacBook pro, 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB, OS X 10.11.6 http://www.pinterest.com/peter2111 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
