Contest Brief

Cover image for novel book

colored, little/no details
2100 px width
3200 px height
final submission image format: PNG

In the center of the image, there's a tunnel with 4 human silhouettes, which move towards the inside of the tunnel(away from the scene's perspective observer). One of them is in a horizontal/lying orientation. The two persons on the left escort/guide the sleeping person along and the one person on the right is following at some distance.

It's important for the image to express the three upright persons to look mysterious and lofty/lordly/superior/august and calm; they are technologically advanced aliens. The image should also give the impression of the sleeping person being at the mercy of the others but also of being guarded. And the tunnel is to express moving into the unkown, into the hidden.
Ideally, the image's perspective should be a little more distant from the persons and slightly more elevated than for my example.

The sleeping person may either rest on a non-opaque levitating platform or may (be made to) levitate without visibly resting on anything.

The two persons on the left are described inside the book to wear steel-blue robes and the right one's is described as bright an shimmery (beige/white), the sleeping one is wearing moss-green. But the image is not required to comply with these colors.

Less detail is preferrable in order to leave a lot of space for the image's observer's own imagination. And there must not be hard shapes, everything should be round.

The tunnel is in the middle of the image. The remaining space of the image may be filled by the colors of the tunnel or by some other color harmonizing with it. It's up to the artist; the persons may also have less contrast with the background than in the example. A dark tunnel with bright persons is possible, too.

Hello uufvijajkumar! I don´t hate it, but it looks too different from the tunnel scene, which I need. ...But it´s a very interesting image...- your persones look very expressive:) I need upright persons, noble, wich lead a sleeping person on their site into the tunnel... therefore from behind...(please see my sketches). And blue or golden illumination I would prefer...

Flat design for the persons, the tunnel design is up to the artist. I will include the winners name in the imprint, if he/she wants and if I use the image. The sleeping person is the main character of the book and should be visible clearly from above.

Desired perspective on the persons - see second sketch. The tunnel can be different, but ther is no visible end to the tunnel.
