I REALLY like this. It's so simple, but done so well I can't look away.

Purplefire40 Featured By Owner Jun 22, 2011 Hobbyist Artist

I simply adore all of your little details, such as the crinkles in the clothing, the red on the tip of the nose and even the barbed wire on top of the building! Very nice!

AlchemyFox Featured By Owner Jun 22, 2011 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Georgous detail!

Looks really interesting.

kkbook Featured By Owner Jun 22, 2011 Student General Artist

You know what, I'm going to the book store just to look for covers with your art on it xD
Sad to say, but I'll often read a book just because it has beautiful paintings like this on the cover ^^" Sometimes, it's an awesomely epic book and that's great, but sometimes I just keep it around for the cover

and-reese Featured By Owner Jun 22, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

this looks great, love the detail

cat-whiskers Featured By Owner Jun 22, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Awesome.

ShinkonoKokoro Featured By Owner Jun 22, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Wow. Looks amazing. I like her intense look.

Minkymy Featured By Owner Jun 22, 2011

Every time you draw a book cover, it catches my interest. Whenever people pick you for cover commissions, they know what they're doing. Awesome work, in the original sense of the word.

jacquelynvansant Featured By Owner Jun 22, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

Absolutely gorgeous! The saying may be not to judge a book off its cover, but with covers like these, the books must be awesome.

The character's pose and facial expression, in contrast with the devastation in the background, is gripping. Fantastic job.

LoudQuietGirl Featured By Owner Jun 22, 2011 Professional Writer

Thank you for doing that for me! I was so nervous to ask, but I'm glad I did. It came out gorgeously. I love the background too. It's amazingly exactly what I see in my head when I sit down to write!

tilade Featured By Owner Jun 22, 2011

I really like the softness in this picture and it is very beautiful!

spinstermaiden Featured By Owner Jun 22, 2011

Well the cover definitely gets my attention. May I ask what the book is?

artsangel Featured By Owner Jun 22, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Unfortunately none of the books I have done covers for can be purchased in print yet

But the writer of this one is

BillMeahan Featured By Owner Jun 23, 2011 Hobbyist Photographer

I look forward to being able to purchase them, either directly from the author or through Amazon.

I just signed up at the Ruin site because the whole concept sounds VERY interesting and worth following (or at least lurking).

LoudQuietGirl Featured By Owner Jun 22, 2011 Professional Writer

I'm the writer. The book is the first in a series of connected stores. The blurb can be found here: ruindestruction.com

birdsongcat Featured By Owner Jun 22, 2011 Hobbyist Writer

I may just have to read it. It sounds terribly interesting xD I shall bump it up on my list of to-reads.

PS> I love the saying in your signature on the other site.
