Fantasy Book Cover Design – Daughter of Dust and Starlight - Narrative Fantasy Illustration
A complete fantasy book cover design created for the novel Daughter of Dust and Starlight, including the front cover, spine, back cover, typography, and print-ready wraparound layout.
The illustration follows the emotional journey of the protagonist through a mystical cavern where ancient magic, flowing water, and a mysterious guardian shape the visual narrative. Every element—from composition and lighting to typography integration and environmental storytelling—was carefully designed to support both the story and the practical requirements of commercial book publishing.
The project combines cover illustration, book design, painterly rendering, and production-ready layout into a cohesive package suitable for print and digital publishing.
