The project was a slow burn. But as soon as we figured out what exactly we wanted and how i could realize the idea&#8230; everything went fine. I have had a very hard time with the characters, since i&#8217;m not a character designer at all. The base, as you might be able to see, was 3d. Then i moved into photoshop and refined all the details and the lighting. I really dig the architecture i came up with. All in all i&#8217;m very happy with the outcome. Thanks a lot to ciprian dobra at editura alexandria. He was very helpful regarding the background information of the book. He knew exactly what he wanted, which made it a lot easier to get the project done.<\/p>\n<p>Book: Gene Wolfe&#8217;s &#8220;Book of the Long Sun&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Intuos3 &#8211; Photoshop &#8211; VUE &#8211; 2700px high<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/projects.tigaer-design.com\/longsun\/progress.jpg\">progress viz<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"http:\/\/projects.tigaer-design.com\/longsun\/concepts.jpg\">early concepts<\/a><\/p>\n<p>copyrighted material by<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.edituraalexandria.ro\" target=\"_blank\">www.edituraalexandria.ro<\/a> &amp; www.tigaer-design.com<\/p>\n<p>Regards<\/p>\n<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/v5.tigaer-design.com\/sign.gif\" alt=\"signed\" align=\"left\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ENLIGHTENED A book cover commission i recently finished.
