Always read the fine print when making a bargain with a sea hag.
Lost
to the clutches of her grief of losing her mentor, Saskia Dorn welcomes
the opportunity to take down a warehouse of drug dealers. When their
leader makes a break for it, Saskia and her ex-boyfriend, Sedge, chase
the criminal shifter into the sea off the coast of northwestern Alaska.
Not only do they lose their quarry, but a vicious sea hag snatches
Sedge.
Saskia can’t take another loss and attempts to bargain
for Sedge’s life and the salmon totem the witch has trapped in her cave.
The sea hag wants only one thing: her long lost love. Who is dead. And
living under the freaking ocean with the Salmon People. Find the Salmon
People and return with the witch’s love before Sedge’s life is forfeit.
Simple, right? Yet she can’t leave the Salmon People’s land without
finding herself first.
Coming February 6th, 2017.
Saskia's gaze is intense! If she were really staring at me that way, I'd be backing up and making a hasty retreat.
This was a tricky cover in terms of lighting. This story takes place at night on the sea and under the ocean. I wanted to make it look like night, but I couldn't make the background too dark or else no one would be able to see the ice floes. Going too dark with the image had it looking like someone made a snowman in the background.
I also wanted to darken the shadows on the model to match the background. She was brilliantly lit, and it was difficult to dim down the brightness to create the effect I wanted without washing her out completely. Hopefully I achieved the look of almost night.
But what I wonder most is why the sisters are always wearing tank tops in the cold of Alaska? *LOL* Good thing they can just shift into polar bears.
