Series Bible

12th August 2021

I’ve been working on my series bible for Blood, Water, Dust for some time now. The text is nearly ready so I’ve started to play with images. This is my latest working cover. I’m wondering if it’s too dark? Too one note in terms of color… Anyway, it’s all done using GIMP and MYPAINT on […]
