My good friend Beth runs a successful book review blog and was excited by the new book in the Twilight Saga being released. I love books to and am always fascinated by the book covers, their beautiful artwork and the meanings behind them. The book cover has a huge influence on you, it makes you pick it up and turn it over to read what it is about. It's the first impression you get.
Book Cover Mash Up
I decided to create a mash up of the first Twilight Book Cover and the most recent, Midnight Sun. After a bit of research I discovered that the apple in the ladies hands on the first book cover represented Bella, her pure heart and forbidden fruit for Edward. Midnight Sun is the same story but this time told through Edward and its front cover has a picture of a bitten pomegranate. The pomegranate is considered the forbidden fruit of the underworld in mythology, and so I placed it in Edwards outstretched hands as he is offering his heart to Bella.
I videoed myself colouring my drawing with Alcohol Inks and speeded it up by x216 which you can view here or by clicking the picture below.
