(my commercial work involves a lot of white space and smaller elements on the page)I am not looking to make an iconic set of monster novel with this project - though it will 100 % look that way since it appears most of my hardcover novels i want to make covers for are classic horror novels... I have some Vern and Burroughs I could work on but they are also in the genre fiction category!

Also, while I like the Wrightson illustration, I think it's just too small. That kind of work really wants to be seen as big and closely as it can because of all the detail. The Dracula I like better. Seems you're going for a more iconic look and possibly a set of looks for the various old monster novels. I'd suggest maybe doing them all at once, trying to get a better feel. It still feels as if there's something missing. I applaud you keeping busy and doing things to stretch yourself. Wish more artists would do that.T'https://www.blogger.com/profile/07986564213736430022noreply@blogger.com
