I’m excited to share the behind-the-scenes journey of creating “The Price of Darkness,” an enchanting elven/fae romance cover. This timelapse video showcases the intricate process of bringing supernatural beauty to life through digital artistry.
Multi-image compositing was employed to create a visually striking supernatural entity using 3D renders. The process involved extensive utilization of adjustment layers to produce magical effects. Through the careful blending of multiple layers, an otherworldly atmosphere and sense of depth were achieved. This technique allows for creating complex, fantastical imagery by combining and manipulating various visual elements. The result is a seamless integration of different components, resulting in a cohesive and captivating final image that appears to exist beyond ordinary reality.
This video provides DAZED Patreon members with an in-depth look at the technical processes involved in digital illustration. It specifically focuses on creating a more traditional fantasy book cover, detailing the various creative decisions contributing to the final design. By viewing this process, I hope to give you insight into the tools, techniques, and artistic considerations that go into producing professional-quality digital artwork for book covers in the fantasy genre.
“The Price of Darkness” will be available from July 6, 2024.
