Description An exercise in surreal digital book cover design and photomanipulation.

The book - Cthulhu Smokes Dreaming - does not exist, as far as I know... at least I haven't written one titled so. But who knows what might happen (or might have happened) in the Lovecraftian Dreamlands?

Nagyonnagyon tetszik stílusú kép! Instant fav. Nagyon jól eltalált a háttérszínek választása, meg úgy az egész. Drakulálok!
Ja! El is olvastam a könyvet és nagyon tetszett.

örülök! köszönöm szépen a dicséretet és a favot is!

btw, ha ez a könyv tetszett, akkor majd el kellene olvasnod az igazit is... ha egyszer...

Nagyon szépek a színei, meg tetszik a füst ezer karaktere Legalábbis én annak látok elég sok mindent a képen

gaborcsigas In reply to sweetanddeadly [2006-04-28 09:45:45 +0000 UTC]

köszönöm. örülök, hogy tetszik. a füstöt - és az egyebeket - illetően igazad van... a füst pl. csupa "cthulhu" feliratból áll.
