Book cover concept, work in progress~
My topic: Ancient Kings of Egypt! I chose a controversial Pharaoh, the rein of one of the first female Pharaohs, Hatshepsut. As her history is quite shrouded in mystery due to many of her reliefs being destroyed, I wanted to portray an atmosphere of that mystery into my cover.
I wanted to present it in a way where an explorer discovered one of her historic reliefs where she was crowned by Amun-Re as she became Pharaoh. The light of his torch illuminates the relief but also projects a piece of Hatshepsut's spirit through that light; symbolizing how she claimed to be a god, being the daughter of Amun-Re.
Suggestions, pointers and critiques are welcome! Thank you for stopping by~
