Water for Elephants

So, for my core illustration class, we were assigned to design a book cover for the novel Water for Elephants by Sarah Gruen. Luckily, I'd read this a few months ago, so it was pretty easy for me to do something more narrative, or that related to the characters. I'm not that happy with the colours, in fact I kind of like my original paintings better. Maybe I'll comp them together again from scratch at some point. My professor seemed to like it, though, so it's not all bad.
