KASSOSO: 'When Myth Becomes Reality', by David Leesley

Illustration by, Tom Egan. Published by, 'Penwith Press', Cornwall.

As I have been working with 3D Software lately, it was nice to be able to have the time to indulge back into my traditional medium on another edition of David Leesely's book release (coming soon)! The cover is a depiction of the tribal myth of the 'Werebats', transforming from the volcano to the jungle floor. I specifically wanted to create a haunting and linear look to the cover, set during the night, but keeping the detail on the figures. Washed in water-colour, ink and black pen, picking out the key colours from the volcano, the golden mane and luminescent fungi.
