The Deeper Darkness - Book Cover

I'm currently working on the second wrap format book cover for K.E. Stapylton's Prism series (YA fantasy). It's great to be working with Kareyn again and I'm quite excited about how this one is coming along!

This is an absolutely fantastic scene. I've read the manuscript by KE Stapylton, and you've exactly portrayed the scene I remember reading. In particular, you've really captured the fear and sense of being overwhelmed in Rabbit's face. The brillig is perfect, and the way you do the luminescence in the water just makes the darkness look "deeper". Your art is truly wonderful, Laura. Your work is an excellent match for Kareyn's stories. --David.
