The Frayed Edge - cover art and design

This is a book cover I was hired to do for a self published, steam punk/sci-fi novel, being released via Smashwords and Amazon. The book can be purchased digitally here - [link]

The author had a lot of elements he wanted to see on the cover, and I think I managed to wrestle them all in there. This was drawn only in pencil, then scanned straight in and colored. Been wanting to mess around with that technique a lot lately. Gives a cool, dirty, old fashioned feel. Worked well for this subject matter.
