Project 4: Influences and Synopsis

Synopsis:
It takes a graveyard to raise a child.
Nobody Owens, known as Bod, is a normal boy. He would be completely normal if he didn't live in a graveyard, being raised by ghosts, with a guardian who belongs to neither the world of the living nor the dead. There are adventures in the graveyard for a boy—an ancient Indigo Man, a gateway to the abandoned city of ghouls, the strange and terrible Sleer. But if Bod leaves the graveyard, he will be in danger from the man Jack—who has already killed Bod's family.


I've been poking around the internet, looking at what other people have done, and I've come across some lovely things! Photos, sketches, paper cutouts...







I'm trying to decide what scene I want to focus on as the cover art. There are so many pivotal moments that people have captured, but there are also these tiny moments in the book that I enjoy, like when Bod befriends the witch, or when Silas brings Bod food from town. So many ideas..
