Please 'Full View', the detail is sharper!

This image is the cover artwork for ‘Twisted Threads’, a fantasy novel by Ryan Kinsch. The book features both darkness and light, wolves, dreams, spirits, trees and various other spiritual and medieval fantasy elements.

For the design of the cover I needed to capture a balance; fantasy that would suit both young and adult readers. I wished to paint the magic of fantasy whilst avoiding cliché and instead present something contemporary.

The lower half is designed to be simpler as this is where the book title and author line will be placed.

My sincerest thanks to `Astralseed for suggesting this as a DD and to ^wdwparksgal for featuring it. Also, thanks to everyone who has commented. I am very flattered! I appreciate the support from all who fav and comment! Thank you...now go check out the book!

Twisted Threads by ~mike-nash
Made for a book cover, this beautiful, yet haunting picture of wolves is rich in detail and balances between the light of the picture and some of the darker elements. Keeping in tune with a gorgeous blue hue, the book cover is inviting and grabs the eye of the book reader, who is inclined to pick it up and stare at the cover before opening the book to start reading. Eluding to a Magical Fantasy, the cover is inviting to both the young and adults! ( Suggested by ^Astralseed and Featured by `WDWParksGal )
