    uniE621 Space Elemental Series: Cover Illustration & Visual Identity
    Commissioned to create dynamic cover illustrations for a science-fantasy novel series blending urban conflict with elemental powers. The brief required a strong female protagonist, high-contrast lighting and cinematic action that would read clearly at thumbnail scale. I developed the concept, character design, lighting and final artwork, delivering both full illustration and production-ready cover layout. The final piece balances energy, atmosphere and genre clarity to anchor the series identity. illustrator coverdesigner
