For the third book in The Anointed series, A Haunting, I wanted to keep both brothers on the cover again. This one was a little harder to get just right. I loved the picture of Jake standing by the window, but I couldn't find any full bodied pictures of Cael to go with him so I had to not only cut and paste him in, but use one guy's body, and Cael's head. Here's the three original stock photos I had to work with:
Had to mirror image this guy's body to fit in the picture and darkened him up a little. He'll be darkened a little bit more after the fact.
Then desaturated Cael's head because he is so light And then layer up the three different pictures. Head to body, Cael to Jake's photo... Cael still is too light for the whole though, but that will be taken care of.
Next put the gritty texture onto it and then darkened Cael up more.
Voila!!
So after all that I decided Cael's head was too big, so started over and resized to a smaller head size. Geez.
