Stormlight Dust Jackets

[mosstheinflatablecow]

While I love the artwork for the Stormlight cover, I've never been a fan of how their spines look on a bookshelf. Today I decided to make a little art project of painting and creating my own dust jackets for them. I'm not entirely happy with how the glyphs turned out, especially the Windrunner one (the symmetry is hard with a brush and I'm not an overly experienced painting), but overall I think I'm pleased with how they look. Hoping to get some clear contact paper to cover them so they're a bit more weatherproof than glued together cardstock and paint.

 

EDIT: Paint dried, so I did some minor touch-ups on the glyphs and finished up making the swords on the side into the updated SA symbol. Uploaded here instead of double posting.

Sorry about the double post, but I'm working on the Rhythm of War jacket now. Won't have it fully bound until the book is out, but the pieces are there.

These are really cool!!! A really cool thing about it is that you could have all ten when he finished the series!!

I got into a bit of a rhythm right around Rhythm of War, so I redid the other three to prioritize symmetry, consistency of glyph style, and cleanness of lines. I also sealed them with clear contact paper for weatherproofing.
