Hi there bookish buddies! Today, I’m thrilled to share a cover-inspired mani for WHEN WOMEN WERE DRAGONS the debut adult fantasy by Kelly Barnhill. This cover is so stunning that I stared at it for an exceedingly long time to decide which elements to incorporate, because I wanted to pack in as much as possible without sacrificing the details. The colours are gorgeous and work really well together, popping off the black base. And omgggg I just love how the dragon eye came together. ☺️ Plus, the best part is the book is just as incredible as the cover. I started reading it over the weekend and I’m hooked! WHEN WOMEN WERE DRAGONS hits shelves May 3rd 2022! Thanks to @doubledaybooks for including me in this fun commission project! Director of Art & Design @emilymahon_covers.
