Shannon Wallace is a Scottish Author, who wrote and published her first book (Heart of the Tempest) in 2020.
Heart of the Tempest is a story about magic breaking through the mundane, wresting a girl from our world into another filled with wonder and equally with danger.
What did they need?
The debut novel was missing but one vital component: the cover!
Shannon approached me with the task to bring her sketches to life, and form a bold and eye-catching brand with the title.
What did I do?
During the composition I was initially left to my own design, following along with the sketches as my main reference.
Shannon was especially pleased witht he render, however I had chosen the opposite season and colour scheme to what was in her mind's eye!
After a few more tweaks and iterations, we settled on a colder snowy backdrop, with the tail of a creature evolved to blend in to this cold climate, and a very happy client.

I absolutely love the cover for my book! James put together all the parts I wanted in a composition that completely matched the tone and theme
I've had a lot of really positive feedback on it
Would absolutely work with James again 10/10
