UNDERTOW — Cover Design A monochrome storm rendered as narrative: a single current of pale smoke cuts through pure black, twisting down the spine like something pulling a body under. Bats scatter along its path — not decoration, but momentum, as if the shape itself is fleeing something the viewer can't see yet. The title sits dead-center in a distressed, dripping serif that looks carved rather than typed, heavy enough to anchor the composition without fighting the swirl around it. Full black-and-white restraint was the discipline here — no color to lean on, no shortcuts to mood. Just value, contrast, and a current that drags the eye from top to bottom in one unbroken motion. It's a cover built for the shelf and the thumbnail alike: legible at a glance, unsettling on a second look.

ORASIS — Cover Design A psychological thriller cover built around a single, unflinching image: an eye rendered in obsessive linework, cracking under a wash of ink — black, crimson, cobalt — as if the mind behind it is coming apart at the seams. Hidden in the pupil, barely visible until you look twice, is a small human silhouette. That's the point. This cover isn't decoration; it's a clue, planted for the reader who stops scrolling long enough to actually look. The palette — deep maroon, burnt rust, bone white — was chosen to feel expensive and unsettling in equal measure, holding together across the spine and back panel so the design reads as one considered object, not a slapped-on illustration with text over it. Every element was hand-built: the illustration, the color grading, the composition. No stock templates, no AI shortcuts — just the same deliberateness an author puts into their prose, applied to the cover that has to earn the click before a single word of that prose gets read.
