SITNALTA BOOK COVER RATIONALE
Rationale
The cover showcases its content on the in relation to surfing and
fantasy. It also showcases the ability of the character immediately
to the viewer. The creator wants the cover to have that intense,
dynamic and cinematic feel. Thus, the waves, splashes, dynamic
poses and tilted angle. To put a flow on the artwork, the character is
surrounded by the wave leading to the Kraken. This gives a vibe of
intensity because there is an antagonist participating in the picture
already.
The purple sky is actually known as scattering, and it occurs when
heavy rains rid the atmosphere of larger particles that abord most
light. The result is an electric sky, filled with purple and pink colors.
Most of the time, it is a warning of heavy storms and danger. It
happens usually during sunset
If there is a sun, there is a little hope that the storm might not
happen. Even though the sky is beautiful,
it still feels unsettling. And that makes the cover dynamic
and exciting.
