White Hands, Dark Ends
Book cover illustrations and design for Tysha Slade‘s White Hands, Dark Ends.
When the author approached me about illustrating her horror-themed novel, I was immediately intrigued. Although it’s not my usual genre, this project offered a refreshing creative challenge — exploring a darker atmosphere while maintaining elegance and visual balance.
I designed and illustrated the front, spine, and back covers, incorporating custom decorative elements, typography, and a cohesive print layout.

The final cover was adapted for multiple formats, including hardcover, paperback, and audiobook, ensuring a consistent visual identity across all editions.
The result blends illustration and design to capture the book’s haunting yet captivating tone.
“Natalia is beyond exceptional. Her work is phenomenal. I’m launching a horror novel this October. I approached her with this reference photo and I must say, her work completely exceeds my expectations. This was her first time doing horror genre. I hope she gets to tap into that more in the future. She’s very knowledgeable and patient with me. She’s super sweet and will update you on every detail including if there’s a setback. She’s the one I’ve connected with the most. Natalia also gave me mockups as well and I wanted to cry so bad at work when I first saw it. I recommend everyone to work with her. I wish I could give her a hug but I’m on the other side of the world. Natalia, I truly cannot thank you enough. You saw my vision and executed. Not only that but I love every detail that you suggested as well. I wish you the best in the future and hope that you stay booked and busy!”
