please clap because i pulled off the stained glass! — quinta and twain from The Vermilion Emporium ✨
i'm so ridiculously excited for this piece to be unveiled, here is another tiny sneak peek 👀 clock's ticking down!! https://t.co/bq56eD9ZEB
i've got a huge soft spot for illustrations with this upper ovular region for text -- it's done a lot, and it's done for a reason! the illustration is made with this area in mind -- it doesn't reach up till almost the top, but it carves out a space for a title.
here are some examples i love:
@soverykerri's design of Courtney Gould's book covers are phenomenal. the text isn't treated like an inconvenience, it's incorporated into the illustration and directs your eyes through the art from top to bottom.
i've drawn myself enough times over the years that i don't need a reference anymore lmao. [sketch for new pfp]
