Y Groes Naidd

Y Groes Naidd is a book I was working on the cover for over the summer. I got a pre-copy in the post a few days ago so I thought I would share the final image plus a look at the steps before the final image.

1st Composition

The story revolves around a shard of the cross of Christ which has supernatural powers. For centuries this relic has been sought after with men dying in its pursuit. This is the first sketch I sent off to the art director.

After a few comments on the hands and the image of the cars I changed it to this.

After more discussion it was decided to change the bottom image again to something else. The book talks about bull fighting in Spain and how it affects the main character so it was thought this could be quite a powerful image for the cover.

Final image

The final image is done in Photoshop using a Wacom tablet.
