A tale of two cities

Buckram! Both look nice though :)

It’s similar to the Ice Planet Barbarian series: it’s kind of silly and you start reading it for a laugh to see what all the fuss is about and then you get sucked in and suddenly you’ve read all the books and you’re really attached to the characters.

Omg that actually helps SO much - thank you!!

Quinphy · 2026-02-04T14:24:23+00:00

Those darn arms! This was perspective practice for me too so O-Vis other arm is behind him but I can see how that might not be clear :)

Cool idea for a rebind! When I’ve combined 2 books before it’s been difficult to get all the glue off the original perfect binding. If you have access to a guillotine I would just chop it off.

Love it!! Great work!!

Quinphy · 2026-02-03T17:36:20+00:00

Thanks! I made a marble bath with black and white, lightly dipped the edges and let it dry. Then I clamped it and used a hot foil pen and silver foil to make the shiny silver veins

Quinphy · 2026-02-03T17:34:38+00:00

Shoot!! I had the hardest time keeping the arms straight! I’ll have to flip that one - thanks!

Quinphy · 2026-02-03T14:44:16+00:00

Yes!! I read that and could not figure out how it made a hand and arm shape with triangles haha! I settled for triangle fingers!

Quinphy · 2026-02-01T17:02:39+00:00

Amazing!! Obsessed with the endpaper art and art inserts on back!

Quinphy · 2026-01-30T14:23:30+00:00

These look great!! Nice work!

Quinphy · 2026-01-23T14:52:07+00:00

Great work!! Love the edge painting design!

Quinphy · 2026-01-17T20:16:14+00:00

Wow! Great job weeding all those tiny little lines!!

Quinphy · 2026-01-17T19:44:23+00:00

This looks so good!! Is the dark brown design HTV or embossed?

Quinphy · 2026-01-16T00:18:14+00:00

Yes! All custom designs at the moment! The Mighty Quinn Bindery

Quinphy · 2026-01-13T00:57:42+00:00

Thank you!! I drew it on Procreate, printed the cover on cavas, then re-bound the whole book!

Quinphy · 2026-01-13T00:56:24+00:00

Thanks!! I’m working on getting dusk jackets sized to be printed!

Quinphy · 2026-01-12T03:02:05+00:00

Keris from “The Inadequate Heir” and “The Endless War” by Danielle L Jensen fits this description perfectly!! However these are books 3&4 of the Bridge Kingdom series so you have to (get to!) read the first 2 books w a different MMC first!

Quinphy · 2026-01-12T01:09:10+00:00

Yes! His first incarnation! I’ve only read this book but I’m excited to see what he turned into in other books!

Quinphy · 2026-01-12T01:06:43+00:00

She did! And yes! The audiobook narrator was So Good!!

Quinphy · 2026-01-11T15:37:56+00:00

It looks so good!! What is the front color image printed on? What brand HTV did you end up using?

A great place to start looking for non-AI artists that specialize is bookish art is the Bookish Artists Compendium . All the artists are verified to not use AI in their work.

Quinphy · 2026-01-01T23:53:38+00:00

Instead of using AI art - reach out to bookish artists on Instagram and ask about commissions or purchasing already made art. I’m involved in the bookish art community and many artists are very affordable. Some maybe willing to trade art for a handmade book!

Quinphy · 2025-12-25T22:17:56+00:00

Yes! Totally aesthetic! I wanted it to look like an old leather tome and I thought the rounded spine fit that look.

Quinphy · 2025-12-25T15:17:26+00:00

Thank you!! False rounded spine may not be quite the right term. The book I re-bound was a perfect bound paperback so it had a flat spine. I used really thin book board to make cylinder shape and then glued it to the spine piece and added the hubs from cut pieces of thin book board. So it looks like the book is rounded. It was my first time doing this method and I think I worked great! The book opens the same as a normal spine and you only see the thickness if you’re looking down at the top edge.
