Had the absolute pleasure of illustrating the cover, sprayed edges & full cover design for @everheartbookbox exclusive edition of A Requiem for Fallen Stars by @hazelwilkesauthor ✨🌟Swipe for details!
I’ve been itching to share this for months🥹 I wanted to wait until most people got their boxes so I wouldn’t spoil the reveal🙈🪄
I designed the illustration, the foiling details, text design and the sprayed edges! This project was both fun and challenging, and seeing the final book come together was so rewarding🤍

The Musician🎶🌈✨ the blonde hair + pink tail reminded me of Barbie, so this song felt very fitting🩷🫧 as I was drawing this piece I was reading Psalms, and a verse stuck out to me, I felt it fit this piece so I will add it below:
“There I will go to the altar of God, to God—the source of all my joy. I will praise you with my harp, O God, my God!” Psalm 43:4
Also, I may have created a brush just for the mermaid scales since I did not want to draw them individually👀🙊🐟 Lmk what you think! I hope you guys like it🥹🫶🏻
