The steampunk challenge made me have a look around for various books, among them the Parasol Protectorate series by Gail Carriger which was mentioned quite often as a recommendation:

• Soulless
• Changeless
  Now, where is the parasol in the cover, I wonder.
• Blameless

OK, so today I’m not comparing covers, but I’m rather showing you how a cover is created.

I’m talking about the cover of “Blameless”, the third instalment in the series. If you, like me,  love Photoshop this is going to be especially interesting.
