oh hey!

I used Sleeper to create a mock cover for the Prophet's Paradise, by Robert W. Chambers

by itself it's a collection of very beautiful and chimeric poems that have been haunting me for some years.
I thought it was fitting

"Regret" presents Beatrice, a character from the animated series Over the Garden Wall. Beatrice was cursed after throwing a rock at a bluebird: all her 12 relatives, as well as her, were transformed into bluebirds. The illustration shows us her transformation, looking in shock and crying as her right arm transforms into a bird's wing. She stands in front of a dark forest, the deep orange of autumn slowly being consumed by cyan and blue. Flying around her and into the forest we spot 12 bluebirds. The illustration also brings a foot frame, with four pumpkins and Enoch - another character, the ruler of Potsfield - in the center. illustration of a lady clad in armor and holding a richly ornamented shield.
