Fire Bringer

Description

This is the cover redesign one of my favorite books, Fire Bringer by David Clemente-Davies. The deer there is to emulate both the book's protagonist and main antagonist, Rannoch and Sgorr. Rannoch uses fire in the climax of the book, and Sgorr is the only deer in the book with fangs. The human heart (the fire on the branch makes the shape of one) has to do with Sgorr as well. I won't say more about this part of the book since it'll ruin the book for those who haven't read it. 

This is a project done for my college art class, created using Photoshop. Most of my other classmates chose to use photomanipulation, but I went with freehand (mouse) painting in the program. This is my first real project done in Photoshop. Hopefully not the last.  

I hope I can get the money at some point to actually buy Photoshop. I had to download the free trial of Adobe Creative Cloud to work on this outside of class.

This looks awesome! You did a great job! I would actually suggest getting Paint Tool Sai first before photoshop. I can't get it because I have a Mac, but it has a stabilizer that stabilize lineart. I would suggest using it to familiarize with drawing programs. Photoshop however is useful for effects after the initial art is done on Sai.
