Veilmarch - The Fantasy Book Cover

Veilmarch is a gothic fantasy novel centered on devotion, death, and defiance.I was commissioned by Cariad Publishing House to create a full wraparound book cover illustration (front, spine, and back) for Hallie Pursel’s debut novel.The visual direction focused on symbolism rather than literal scenes, reflecting the mythic and folkloric tone of the story. The cover explores themes of mortality, forbidden desire, and power through atmospheric imagery, restrained color palettes, and a sense of quiet movement, designed to feel evocative at first glance and reveal deeper meaning after reading.The process included concept sketches, iterative revisions, and final print-ready delivery aligned with the publisher’s jacket template.
