My Artwork Can Now Be Seen on a Real Book, Written by Our Very Own @dreemit, Published in 2018: 'Reborn'

Here's something exciting. Remember that book cover that I was working on last year for @dreemit? It has become the art for a real book, available now on Amazon!

I was, and still am, incredibly thrilled to have the opportunity to create the image for the cover of dreemit's book, but I had no idea how amazing it would actually look in the end.

It started with a pencil sketch on illustration board, and I began painting and taking photos of the process with my old iPhone last year, in 2017:

I did the acting and modeling for all of these characters here...

I had my daughter pose for the female character on the cover-- here is the painting when it was nearing completion:

The Final Touches by @son-of-satire

My initial idea was to design the cover to feel like an old pirate story from another age, and I used muted colors for a 'faded' appearance. Dreemit was wise enough to send my painting to @son-of-satire, who not only designed the layout for the title and author's name, but he also modernized the colors on the image, so that it took on a new life that I never could have imagined.

@dreemit's book, 'Reborn- The Allies of Old'

Also, note how @son-of-satire reversed the image, so that the stone wall in the painting became part of the book's spine, a brilliant edit, which I also never would have thought of.

Congratulations to @dreemit for this accomplishment, getting a book published and printed into this beautiful package.

I'm very proud to have been a part of @dreemit's dream, and to be included in the credits for this great book, and I am honored to be friends with her. Let's help her to sell lots of these books, and help make her ultra-rich and mega-famous, whether she likes it or not. ;)

The link to order the book on Amazon is HERE, and resteeming this post might help to spread the sensation around the internet properly.

Thanks to @son-of-satire for making my painting really pop for the book cover, and I give my infinite thanks to @dreemit for choosing me to do the art for her masterpiece story, Reborn.
