Hi all!
This is Call of Dust, a book cover I made for writer Mark Saint earlier this year.
Unlike other times I don't know a lot about this novel, but it happens in a world where classical fantasy and Call of Cthulhu myths merge together.
More info on the plot can be found on the back text. This is an expansive world and more novels are to follow.

Unfortunately I did work a bit chaotically and didn't make a process animation for this one.
Both the dragon and the man were rendered in Daz Studio and everything else was taken from real photos.
These are the renders I used, I didn't modify them all that much except for I made the guy much more buffed and his pose more aggressive:
I don't generally show these cause they look really crappy but since there's no process... here are the two sketches I made. The first one was rejected (I really kinda like the scene higher up there) and the second of course was the one I used and where I started from.
These are the stock photos I used:
