WBM: Arbiture — Mock-Up Book Cover">WBM: Arbiture — Mock-Up Book Cover

Now it’s not that I get bored a lot, but some­times I feel the need to fart about with a ran­dom pic­ture. Obvi­ously with all this World Build­ing shenani­gans, Arbi­ture / Angelus / The Fallen have been on my mind a lot so I fig­ured, ‘shit, why the hell not rus­tle up some­thing’. So, I did…


Even by my stan­dards, it’s not fan­tas­tic but it’s okay. The book, wing and text could be ‘evened’ out so they seem more on one level, but I like the old, ancient feel of it. In hind­sight, the wing looks a bit like a hawk… dah well!

    I kind of like it. Try to make the title brighter so it’s more read­able. See how that looks, then.

  • RG Sanders

    Trust me, I tried it. The prob­lem was I had to ras­ter­ize the text into an image and when that hap­pens, you loose con­trol over the smaller things like text colour specifics — the brighter the colour, the brighter the burn effect and it all goes south.

    I think it was bet­ter half-way through… this is the end version.

    But thanks!

    it catches the eye, for sure. since most of my book buys are inspired first by the cover (& then by the bit on the back or inside cover), I’d say you’ve got a great one here.

  • RG Sanders

    Sweet.

    Thanks for the com­ment and com­pli­ment, Alex.

    You shall be going on my lit­tle blogroll thingy (also helps me find your page quicker, hehe)

    rec­i­p­ro­cated. Do you cre­ate all the pics I see on your site?

  • RG Sanders

    Nooo, no no no.

    Given time I might be able to ‘art’ up some angels of my own, but in the mean­time I like to show­case the angel art of others.

    I’m actu­ally going to do a post cred­it­ing every­one I have shown, so it’s funny you asked.

    Obvi­ously I did this mock-up, and I did a cou­ple more which I’m posting.

    Good art though, aye? Tal­ented folk.
