Wow - you guys are awesome! Thanks, Imogen, for starting such a lovely thread.
I'm happy you like the cover!
So cool to see a lot of the wonderful people I've had the pleasure to work with here as well!
Usually, once you commission me, I always say about a week - but I always tend to finish it more quickly because I'm excited to work on it. When you love the work you do - it's easy to just throw yourself into it.
That being said, one thing I am though, is brutally honest. If I feel something won't work - I will tell you...but I try to do so with as much love as possible. lol
I want your books to be a grand success - and at the same time, I want you to be happy.
I love it most when authors comes to me and pretty much give me free reign - in other words - here is my story - come up with something in phatpuppy style. Those are usually the best covers (I think too when people are purchasing some of my available covers - these are working really well because it was something that I envisioned and put to art with no set idea - all the better if it can somehow fit your story -- does that make sense? I can also tweak them a bit to make them fit more in line with your storyline)
Anyway - thank you for such lovely comments, means the world to me!
Hope you're all enjoying a beautiful week.
Peace,
Claudia
