Here's another cover that I created for the late John Hindmarsh. I loved creating these epic sci-fi scenes, and hope to do many more such covers.
You can see a breakdown of some elements used on the left.

Here's another cover I completed a while ago.
Something I've done for several authors is a custom photoshoot with a model. This way the author get's images that are unique to them and will never show up on another author's covers, unlike stock images.

This was a science fiction cover I completed thats are more in the realm of Hard Science Fiction, meaning it has a basis in real science and fact.
It was fun to create this Alien ship to match the description.

This cover is from the 7th book in Alex Smith's Kett series. This was more complicated to create than it really looks, and there were plenty of elements that went into it.
You can see a visual breakdown of some of the elements on the left.

Here's a cover I did for Barry Hutchison.
These are hilarious books.
You can see a visual breakdown of the elements on the left, some of which are stock photos, some are 3D models (the spaceman and ship), and then there's Splurt, the ball of green slime.
Enjoy!

Here's a very recent cover, another that I've completed for D B Goodin, and another fun Cyberpunk commission.
This is created from several 3D renders and some stock images, which you can see on the left.
Enjoy.

Here's another cover that I completed for E Cantu Alegre, this time the first book in her series.
We went with these symbolic, object covers for this series, and I'm really happy with how they came out.

Here's a cover I created for Erika Everest, the first book in her fairytale series.
I had a lot of fun creating these covers, where were all very involved with a lot of photobashing stock photos together to get the final look, and I'm very happy with this one.

Here's a cover I did for Peter North, the first book in his first Harem series.
He gave me the task of creating a dress out of leaves, which was a fun challenge.
You can see the visual breakdown on the left, which was a mix of 3D assets and stock images.

Another cover commission I completed, and a behind the scenes look at the images that went into it. This time, it's an Urban Fantasy/Academy adventure book, one of a series of 9 that I completed for D. R. Perry
This was a mix of stock images and a 3D render.

Here's a recent Cyberpunk cover I completed for David Goodin. Cyberpunk is one of my favorite genres.
The elements used were 3D renders that I posed, textured, lit, and rendered (and in the case of the buildings, I even modeled some of those) before Photoshop.

Here's a cover I did for the late John Hindmarsh (a lovely man I was privileged to know), and a visual breakdown of the various elements that went into this cover. I had great fun creating these for John, and Sci-Fi covers remain a firm favourite of mine.

Here's another visual breakdown of a fairly recent cover, this time it's a psychological thriller that is partially autobiographical, and quite shocking.

Another fairly recent cover, and another thriller, this time a Scottish Detective Thriller. This is the 8th book in TG Reid - Scottish Crime Thrillers series, and it's always fun to work on these.

Here's a Post Apocalyptic cover that I completed for P. R. Adams that I had a lot of fun creating. Imagining what the world would be like following a catastrophy is always fun.

I'm currently moving my Cyberpunk series, The New Prometheus, back under my main pen name, and so far the first 3 have been published. Book 4 next week, and the brand new Book 5, two weeks after that!

Like your modern world with a little more magic in it, and your main characters to quite possibly pack a little more of a literal bite?

I noticed a gap for Urban Fantasy authors in the starter packs so I'm popping this one together. Let me know if you want to be added!
