Description
The full spread book cover (back and front) I illustrated for "Dormancy". It is a book written by first time self-publishing writerΒ Ezekial J.W. and is currently up on Amazon!The premise: "Koh Pendragon has never been one for the mythos of his home country. Not until he takes the form of one of two long-dead draconic gods, and discovers the possessor of its twin form is hellbent on conquering his nation. His life now in upheaval, Koh must learn to control the power of the red dragon, and push beyond his hesitations. Koh must learn to accept and cope with self-acceptance, blame, his own limitations, and the insistence of others on aiding him where he fails. To share your burdens is to succeed."
I loved the concept for this story and I was honored to be asked to illustrate its cover! I can only imagine how exciting but also terrifying it must be to publish your first book all by yourself, so please check it out and be sure to spread the word too if you know anyone who might be interested in a contemporary fantasy story like this!

Apart from your command of artist skills that are mastery but it's first time in my life to witness a storytelling of relationship between a man and dragons presented in such a magnificent perspective and it's astonishing, exciting and outstanding! All compositions combine into spectacular perfection! Β Β

I love the subtlety of the red dragon; Koh draws your eye, but the dragons still there, watching.
