Hello there.
I was inspired to design some Dark Tower book covers a while back, just for fun. Thought i'd share here. :fairy:

Yeah, I like them as well.
I like the DOTT cover and Wastelands cover the most, however. I think if someone saw those book covers sitting on the bookstore shelves, they'd be like "Woah, what the heck happens in this book?" and would be intrigued to read them. I do like what you did with the first one but I have to say it's my least favorite, but then again not much happens in the Gunslinger, so I guess it's only natural the cover matches suit. Oh, and great Railroad/cliffside image for WOTC.
The borders on top and bottom almost make me think of Scholastic for some reason, I guess cause for a while they had that red (?) banner on the tops and bottoms of the books.
Again, these are really cool, good stuff!

thank you both!
haha, i totally get the scholastic thing. your'e right. :P
The Gunslinger cover was first, and it is the MOST boring one for sure. As i was working on each one, i began putting more and more elements into them, not on purpose. When i was done with them, i did toy with the idea of going back into the first one and putting more into it. I actually still might, because i just found all my layered PSD files for this.
Thanks again. :pirate:

Those are great, Mike! I think SOS is my favorite.

I just noticed how all the banners match the general color scheme of the artwork on the cover. Very nice. Oh, and as a PS, (this is really just my opinion too, so take it with a grain of salt.) since the color scheme in VII seems to be red, why not have a dark red banner? I'm not saying go eye-burning red or anything, since the colors of your other banners are subdued maybe a deep, rich crimson? Again, just my opinion/suggestion. Forgot to add that to my original post, and thought I'd give you a free bump :)

That's pretty cool. My two favorites are Waste Lands and Wolves.

Some pretty awesome work there, Mike. Awesome way of summarising everything about each book and yet revealing absolutely nothing. I think my favourites are DotT and TWL.

I agree that these are great depictions of the idividual stories without giving away anything.I like the Wastlands.I feel like you captured that moment and setting very nicely.
