Little Details, Big Difference

For this cover I wanted to create a snowy scene to one side and autumn scene to the other. combining both of these elements was tricky but using varying opacities throughout the different brush tools I feel I was able to achieve a nice blend between the two seasons.

This project has required me to create my own brushes to add the different winter aspects in my image. The two main brushes I created were "Frost" and "Ice", with these new tools I am able to add ice, frost, fog, mist and snow both on the ground and falling from the sky.  

 

To centralise the image and highlight the focus on "Geraldine" rather than the scenery I added a vignette, this also will make adding font and boarders easier later on in the project.
