Hello there! Could you please share your existing mock-up along with the intended book trim size and whether the illustration should wrap around to a full cover or be front-cover only? I can recreate your concept as a completely hand-crafted illustration inspired by the realism and dramatic lighting of the Dutch and Flemish masters, while preserving your original composition and avoiding any AI-generated elements. I'll begin with a detailed sketch based on your mock-up, refine the composition for your approval, then build the final artwork with careful attention to anatomy, textures, atmosphere, and painterly light so it feels authentic and timeless. Throughout the process, I'll ensure the artwork is suitable for professional book printing and provide editable, high-resolution source files for future publishing needs.
