WIM Book Cover "The Wind in the Willows"
-
@andersoncarman Haha! You know, I totally agree with it looking over crowded. I have been thinking about the idea of taking things out. I think that would be a good direction to go for. I also agree about it not looking cohesive. I think taking out some of the characters and elements will help. I'll mess around with that and see how it looks. Thanks for the input man! Someone with fresh eyes can really make nagging thoughts real. lol
What are your thoughts on the gradients?
-
Yep! I like it Better
I think I need to do something about that texture on the tree now. I reckon either add more texture to the rest of the scape or take it out all together.
-
Textures Galore!
I added a wee bit of orange in the sunrise. Should I leave it? Yea or nay?I'm still working on the gradients and I need to tweak the mansion and surrounding trees.
Anything else that pops out to you all that I should change or move around?
-
@Squirrelsize hey that looks really good already ! excited to see the final - and I am for the orange light
-
I like the texture and the color change, makes it warmer.
-
I also can't wait to see the final! Always really impressed with your art style @Squirrelsize . Great job!
-
@Squirrelsize I love this! I love the texture and the trees and I like the orange you added too. It makes the characters pop I think since it’s refleced in the water as well.
-
I'm late to the party but I vote for orange too. Really nice cover.
-
I'm having more fun with textures and effects. I tweaked around with the title typography. I'm liking how the title looks, but I'm thinking I might try a few different fonts for the author's name at the bottom of the cover. Not sure if I like it or not. What do you all think? Maybe something that will compliment the font title a bit more. Do you all have any good fonts that could work?
You all liked the orange so much I added a bit more!
-
It is much better, more orange is also good idea. Like the texture on the sea and the background. I do like more the sharp edge of the cover, like the version before, not the texture edge of the cover as now.
-
Here is another one with a few different effects. I also did the hard edge too
How do you all feel about the new Author's name font?

Here are the last three for comparison:
-
@Squirrelsize this really came together great. I prefer the middle on but with a hard edge. As far as the author font, I tend to like something very basic and in the sans serif family. But that is just my opinion on that.
-
I also prefer the middle one and with hard edge.
-
@Squirrelsize I like the first two. The last one I find too light ad the characters in the boat to sharp a contrast -I feel it gets lost/messy.
Which now looking at the second one I find the character and boat area similar to my issue with the third one but like it better. -
Wow! Thanks you all! Some really good tips and suggestions
-
Left is the old dark one. Right is the new with straight edges.
-
@Squirrelsize I like straight edges
Nice work! this is looking great!
-
@Squirrelsize The straight edges look nicer to me as the jagged edge is a bit distracting. Good work!
