If you didn’t catch the long version of the story of Tell City, hop over here and read it now! I thought it might be cool to share the simple visual progression of the Tell City cover, from August 2013 to November 2018. Enjoy! And feel free to ask any questions in the comments if you have them!
The first ever cover sketch from August 2013.
And a few pages later in my notebook, from a few months later, during a night of art making and listening to Kay read from the book.
The first ever Tell City cover design.
And the event poster that went with it.
The most recent sketch of the full Tell City cover spread.
The first version of the newest cover, obviously it still had a bit more evolving to do.
The final front cover design.
The final entire hardcover dust jacket spread.
And finally, the best part. The cover design is available to order printed on virtually any home good or accessory you can imagine! They even have leggings and socks! Check it out and rep your favorite newest fantasy novel here! (All proceeds go to benefit an independent author and independent artist!)
The back of all the shirts.
