The Ash-Slave cover

Published:

Description

Here was the book design for "The Ash-Slave," my retelling of Cinderella set in ancient Persia. It was originally published in Dark Valentine magazine, and it is now available on Amazon for 99 cents. [link] If any of you like fairy tale retellings with a darkly romantic twist-- or stories with an Arabian Nights atmosphere-- you might want to give "The Ash-Slave" a try!

I was lucky that I already had illustrations of "The Ash-Slave" to work with; but the main painting I wanted to work with-- [link] -- had so much movement in it, I knew it would be tricky making a proper cover out of it. The design was indeed a bit of a challenge at first, but when I found this gorgeous header by =inspyretash-stock-- [link] -- everything started coming together. Many thanks to InspyréTash who kindly allowing me to use her texture border for the cover! It wouldn't be the same without it.

The main display font is Aladdin.
