Fantasy Opus - Cover Experiments

I'm currently at 173K words and I felt like a break, so I've been experimenting with cover art. I'm not a Photoshop expert, or even a novice, but with the help of you-tube and some trial and error I managed to create this in around an hour and a half.

I'm quite pleased as a first trial, but the finished article will look nothing like this. It was created from three separate images which i downloaded from the excellent free resource: pixabay.com

The text isn't really a good font and I rushed it a bit, so the real deal should be much slicker.

Even though the woman's image is a graphic art vector image (by DeeDee51), I quite like it, and it does actually fit the tone of the novel. I intend to use some professional stock images for the finished book (or books - I still can't decide whether it should be a trilogy or a single work),

Oh and don't forget: "Fantasy Opus" is just the working title. I do have a title in mind, and also a title for the first two books (if it's a trilogy).

Cheers for now.

John Howes.
