This is my entry for the book cover design contest for Susan Kay's Phantom that was being held by Llumina Press. I didn't win, but it was fun to do anyways - though thanks to all who voted for me!
This image was composed entirely in Photoshop with my tablet, and the version that I've posted here is sans text for the title and author's name. From September of 2005.
Wonderful. Totally captures Erik's dark side, but there's also a little curiosity in there as well. It's like "Who are you?", "You scare me.", and "Where did you come from?" at the same time.
