:star: PLEASE READ !!!! :star:

This is the cover illustration for "Miranda and the Tiger's Eye" by author Sara Beacham. I had finished it a while ago but I just got the authorization to post it today.

If you have no idea of what to give your children for Christmas, this is a wonderful book ;)


:star: Book Cover, front :star:

:star: Press Release :star:

:star: Closeups :star:


This is a wonderful novel for young readers (8-12 years of age). Fans of Harry Potter, The Wizard of Oz, Alice in Wonderland, and the Spiderwick Chronicles will love Miranda and The Tiger’s Eye !


As you might tell, I was given total freedom for the background (it just had to be jungle themed). Yay ! :dance:
I followed a sketch Robin Beacham provided me with for the characters poses.
I only made the illustration, not the book cover design, so please no crits about that ;)


Photoshop CS3
45 hours approximately
References provided by Robin Beacham (the author's daughter).
Some textures from CGTextures


I'll make a specific journal very soon, as soon as the book is available on Amazon.com.


By the way, critiques are welcome BUT I won't change anything since the book has already been published. So if you really want to critique my work, I'd rather like you to do so on pieces I can modify ;)

No prints will be available.

I love every little detail on this, from the leaves on the trees to the drops of water. And of course, gotta love the cute animals and child :love:

BTW, I'm 22...can I read the book too? I'm very childish, so that's not a problem, I suppose :D
