Description: On a light grey brackground, Joe and Nicky's picture superimposed with fire, in a round medallion; white text.

Square: FREE SPACE
Link: Fever of Light
Fandom: The Old Guard




Description: A white feather on a solid "Classic Blue" background; light coral and white text.

Square: Pantone Color of the Year
Link: Messengers
Fandom: The Old Guard
Summary: “Do you think we might be angels?”

Yusuf’s mind is not unlike a sudden abyss. “That we might be . . .”

“Angels,” Nicolò says again.

Notes: I used the colour of the year 2020 and tried to evoke the story's quiet, reflective mood with the font choice and colour. I tend to gravitate towards the same colour schemes a lot when left to my own devices (light grey background for everyone!) so this was really cool!




Description: On the left, a bas relief representation of Gilgamesh and Enki; on the right, text that attempts to replicate the 3D effect.

Square: Ancient Art
Link: In the House of Dust by Chantress
Fandom: The Epic of Gilgamesh
Summary: Men and cities are made of clay and turn to dust.

Notes: Thanks to Chantress for volunteering this voiceteam project for my cover needs! I found this depiction of (probably) Gilgamesh & Enkidu, cleaned it up so they would be the sole focus, replicated a smooth background by layering textures and effects, and then tried to figure out a way to make text resemble the "sculpted" effect. This worked really well until I realized that I totally forgot the "In" from the title, and by that stage I couldn't reverse or remember exactly what I'd done, so I had to frankenstein the word from the other letters already in the text >.> But I'm pretty pleased with the result!
