Two sides of Gayle – Hunters book cover design

Gayle is the character featured on Hunters book cover design. The final cover design is an illustration covering front, back, and book spine as well as extra flaps on the dust jacket for the hardback.

On the front cover (right side) Gayle is pictured as delicate and serene, while on the back (left side) she is all focused, stern and powered up. Her super power is controlling fire and that was not an awesome thing to capture in a portrait!
