Medium: Image manipulation, digital painting, and compositing completed in Photoshop

Info: The final cover design for the second tome in my brother's Transcendental Warrior Trilogy. For more info about the books click here. A lot of work went into the revamped covers that I designed, and I also had a much tighter deadline than ever before. This time around the idea was to create three distinct warriors for the three tomes. The second tome showcases a spiritual warrior in the midst of battle against the forces of darkness. The bright red colors are meant to demonstrate the intensity of the fight and the warrior's unshakable courage. The pose of the character was my biggest challenge due to the fact that I had to fit him on a more vertical canvas (dimensions of the front cover). I also spent a lot of time on the sky effects and highlights. I kept the original armor and warrior designs from the old versions of the covers along with the same sky and repainted/manipulated them.

Extras: The print version of this cover which is available for purchase features none of the text and has a more vibrant color scheme. The picture of Lord Nrsimhadev (lion in bg) is also not included due to the fact that it is not my original artwork. To see an alternate version of this cover that didn't make the cut simply mouse over the pic.
