Final front cover designs........maybe

I have decided on the front cover designs for the book covers. They may change again but at the moment I am sticking with these. I want the covers to look the same and look like they belong together as a set.

These six are my favourites so far. I may add more if I have time at the end of the project.
Now we have to start thinking about what we want up in the final show and how we will display our work.

These are some examples I have found but I think I like the idea of having the books mounted on the wall and stuck together so you cant open them ? And maybe larger images up also.

Book Of Blood #2

This image is for the story Book Of Blood. This was an exciting image to make. It started with a photo shoot with a naked model which I needed so I could get as much skin on show as possible so I had a larger canvas to work on. I then wrote parts of the story on to his skin, which took quite a while down to it being surprisingly ticklish :)
The finishing touches where then pieced together on photoshop. I have a few versions to choose between.
What do you think works best ?

Personally I love them both but need to do a little work to them both to see how they look as book covers.
But all feed back would be greatly appreciated .

Book of Blood

More sketches I have been working on today .

This one is for the prologue to the Book of Blood books.
I think this idea will look great using lino print?
So will hopefully have a go at that this week.

I am quite inspire by this image for this story. It was created by artist/photographer Marc Jaytin.
He created the image by actually carving the word art into his leg using a razor blade.
Very controversial but equally inspiring.
I will not go and engrave the story's into my skin for this image but I want it to look like it or have a hint of it.
