Storm at Raven's Nest has reached its first stretch goal: behind the scenes notes on the art of Raven's Nest!
The cover art and border were developed by Christine Gerardi, who went with a romantic / gothic / raven vibe to select the color palate and develop the designs.
The character art for both the humans and their dreamscape / animal forms was drawn by Tonkipappero. I have collaborated with this artist on other projects before, but this is the first time we haven't used chibi art. The more traditional character art felt like it better represented the book and mood.
The bookmark for the upper tiers of Storm at Raven's Nest was designed based on the cover. Artisan Melinda of MPDesignsJewelry is the bookmark designer.
