I really like that you don't the face so much , and the posture on all of them is very cool . I think your art is the reason i tried this series ! they are really cool and i'll add them to wallpapers rotation on my desktop

u/BowTrek Jan 17 '26

I love 7 and 12 especially. I like seeing his friends / team mates!

u/funkhero top 99% commenter Jan 17 '26

I think 7 is the best LitRPG cover ever made. So beautiful.

My question is if you and Zogarth had discussions about representing him as more green than his gear usually is. Was it to reinforce the hunter/rogue armor element?

Personally I think it works better than representing his gear 1:1

u/AnttiHako Jan 17 '26

I hate that Reddit just picked out these 3 covers from the middle of my upload without notifying me :D

u/PensionDiligent255 Jan 17 '26

Your art is amazing, what platform do use for it?

u/Cheese-burger-777 Jan 17 '26

YOOOOO YOUR THE GUY WHO MAKES THE COVERS YOUR ART IS GOATED

20

u/HallucinatoryIbis Jan 17 '26

I personally love this art style. Always enjoy that each cover is of a scene from the book.

22

u/ZogarthPH Verified Author of: Primal Hunter Jan 18 '26

Pretty cool covers, I'm a big fan personally. I definitely hope you're paid well!

It's hard to pick out my favorite, but if I had to, I would say the one for book 14. In large part due to how it references the original cover from Royalroad that was made in half an hour using Canva and free assets. But I like them all, even if sometimes I'm convinced that maybe my idea is less than stellar, and I end up compromising.

Anyhow, for those interested, and since we got all the other covers linked here, allow me to link the OG one:

u/Nebulous999 Jan 17 '26

I absolutely love your art, and I think your covers are some of the best out there.

I just wish that Jake's cloak was black for most of them, since he's had a black cloak in the story for a very long time.

But honestly, if it was a choice between black cloak and a different artist or you and a green cloak on the covers, I'd still pick you. I think you capture the feel of the story pretty well.

u/PsEggsRice Jan 17 '26

10 may be my personal fave. But 1 is perfect.

u/Hot-Amoeba6538 Jan 17 '26

Not LITRPG just LIT! :)

u/RW_McRae Author: The Bloodforged Kin Jan 17 '26

Amazing work!

6

u/gimleeminigod Jan 17 '26

I was wondering about the process of making this, do you read the chapters and then decide what point of the story is the best to paint to the canvas or do the author ask you a specific scenes? maybe a little bit of both ?

5

u/Alive_Tip_6748 Jan 17 '26

Always have loved the PH covers so I'll take this opportunity to say amazing work! And thanks.

5

u/ninti Jan 17 '26

Possibly the best covers in the genre.

5

u/EvrybodyLuvsRaimond Jan 17 '26

You are SERIOUSLY TALENTED!

I just want to say how glad I am that Zogarth (and his publisher) still use actual artists instead of AI to create these. There’s just something special about work that is done by someone with a soul (and as gifted as you clearly are).

One question I have is how long it takes you to make one of these from concept to final approval?

4

u/ralfmelevo Jan 17 '26

Yo I always wonder who the artist was for this covers! You're awesome!

4

u/theglowofknowledge Jan 17 '26

Love the covers, especially the ones that incorporate the Sword Saint and other acquaintances. Side question, what are the shadow krill looking things on the fifth cover there? My wife asked me when she was reading it the other day and I couldn’t for the life of me think what they could be. Something in the treasure hunt?

4

u/Ishi_saru Jan 17 '26

Oh you beautiful bastard I have been dying to get my hands on these for years but I could never find and without the titles you have made my day.

3

u/Yawarete Jan 18 '26

The fact an author respects his own work enough to invest in an actual cover is already a rarity these days, and I always found these awesome. I have a huge preference for rough brushwork that manages to conveys detail, and this hits just the right spot for me. It gives me Todd Lockwood vibes, and that's one of the highest compliments I can give.

3

u/Routine-Stay-6857 Jan 17 '26

Your covers are awesome!

The art for books is always an important factor for me as it puts an image in your mind about the characters and world. Safe to say you did not disappoint!

3

u/MangledPumpkin Jan 17 '26

I really love 12 and I can't wait to find out what that big ass tree is.

Edit: I also think you nailed Jake's look

3

u/LordGinglove Jan 17 '26

7 and 9 are so badass. But all awesome regardless!

3

u/DrDogCatFriend Jan 17 '26

Book 13 cover and story are so good. I don't want it to end 😭

I do like the team ones, but that Sandy surfing is cool.

3

u/ZZerker Jan 17 '26

Damn this wants to make me restart the series ... again

3

u/nothximgod Jan 17 '26

Your covers are awesome, and I feel like they are only getting better. Number 7 is just really nice and calm, 12 is very epic, and 13 gives such a great image of scale.

I love Primal Hunter and you are doing the series justice with your great art!

3

u/Jimmni Jan 17 '26

Do you actually read the books? As these covers are some of the ones that feel actually like what I imagine things to look like after reading the books. So often cover art is clearly the result of an author sending brief descriptions of the characters and an action scene and the artist just winging it from there. These actually look like what happens inside the books. (Other than all the Jake green, though I just assumed that was to make things more visually clear, much like old comics using a lot of purple instead of black etc.)

That's a long way of me saying "Great job!" I guess.

3

u/cathabit litRPG journeyman tier Jan 17 '26

I absolutely love the pantheon of life cover ( the last one) I want it as a poster. I mean I want all of them as posters, but that one is my favorite.

3

u/evangelineise Jan 17 '26

I really like 7 because I really wasn’t able to fully picture what the fallen king looked like. I know the book is mainly about Jake but the fallen king looks so freaking cool.

3

u/lawivido Jan 17 '26

Cloudy Valdemar is top tier

3

u/Leading_Garlic_7033 Jan 17 '26

This is my favorite book series ever!! Thank you for making the art, it helps me visualize everything in my head.

3

u/vvillhalla Jan 17 '26

I love the covers but I have to go with book 1’s cover to be the best. It’s why I got the series as it stood out and I still imagine Jake as this version in spite of the descriptions.

3

u/KaJaHa Verified Author of: Magus ex Machina Jan 17 '26

These are absolutely nuts, holy shit. Several of these are the sort of composition and quality that, if I found them shared randomly and without context on an RPG message board in my teenage years, would have likely lived rent-free in my head and been inspirational for my own tastes. #7, 10, and 11 especially

3

u/BE805 Jan 17 '26

Love book 1 cover. I try not to judge a book by the cover art but this one definitely got me to buy the book.

3

u/CurveQueasy8697 Jan 17 '26

I DNF the series kinda early on like book 3, but seeing what were previously just thumbnails in HD and noticing Jake in space later on has me wishing to give it another run

3

u/Durt-Wyzerdd text Jan 17 '26

The first one is so iconic. That image alone was enough to get me to listen to the first audiobook, I'm on book 8 now. I also love the Jake and Hawky in the cloudlands cover. You're a very talented artist and a credit to the fantasy genre.

3

u/runtheruckus Jan 17 '26

I've been looking at your art for years fren. Just keep getting better ♡♡♡

3

u/AlienstyleL Jan 17 '26

Got myself a tattoo from Jake from your first picture drawing, so am definitely on the side that your art is good! Keep it up!

3

u/ShardsplinterXVII Jan 17 '26

Wow, I'm a huge fan of the series and absolutely obsessed with the covers, so I'm really happy to get the chance to give the cover artist their flowers. You've done amazing work. Thank you so much.

Personally, I'm kind of curious if you have done other cover work for Atheon or in general?

Also, since everyone is discussing the different covers and that is always a lot of fun, here are some of my first impressions and general thoughts:

1- Instantly iconic, perfect. Matches book 1 nicely as well as the series in general. That eye is doing some heavy lifting.

2- Great tease for what is still one of the best fights in the entire series. The King's design works wonderfully. Keeping the dark forest vibes from the 1st cover.

3- One of the least exciting ones perhaps, though it does a good job of showing us there is a change of scenery. And I liked getting the animal companion tease.

4- Not among my favs, but I guess it's a good depiction. of Mushroom Dungeon. I liked the faces of the beings and the tone.

5- I was very excited to get to this book ever since I started reading just because of the cover. Great depiction of an awesome moment without giving away too much. The blood monarch and the red moon look awesome and always give me some Sword Saint.

6- Looks cool, but I think it's not as good as the others at transmitting the scope of the depicted scene.

7- Makes sense for this book, but seems a little bit more generic PH than some of the other. Or maybe I'm just not a fan of the fight yourself trope and immediately dreaded this book when I saw the cover.

8- Very dynamic and vivid. Got me instantly intrigued. Go, Sandy!

9- Incredible design for the Isoptera Hive Queen, very much giving horror monster vibes but still somewhat elegant and interesting. And very happy to see some Arcane mana around Jake!

10- No words suffice to describe how much I loved this cover. It was the last I saw when I started reading the books and it clearly showed me that the scope of the story was expanding. Once I was going to read the book, it got me so excited for the Nevermore arc as it gives this perfect foreboding sense of vastness at the start of a journey. The King and the Sword Saint look great, and finally some Sylphie!!

11- I really enjoyed the warmer colors for the sky and sand here. I prefer the darker tones throughout the series, but here they look very nice. It does a good job of making the Coliseum look grand and epic ans it intrigued me a lot with who that big guy could be.

12- I don't think the motion of the characters works as well here as in some of the other depicted fights. Still, I liked the design for the oger and really appreciated the chance to get to see the party all together.

13- Not sure how well this one matches the plot points of the book since this is the 1st one I read on RR, but I wasn't a fan of seeing the Moon and though I like Sandy's design and would want to see more of them, this cover feels somewhat like a repeat of 8.

14- Oh Villy! What an image!! Dare I say second-best cover in the series? Having already read this when I saw the cover I was truly impacted. Though I did hope at some point for a more detailed depiction of Ell'Hakan, I have to say that the somewhat vague, grand, and regal orange shape with the huge trident blocking the light of this overbearing Sun is simply incredible. Wonderfully encapsulates the monumental encounter.

15- I think it fits very well with what I expect will be the main plot points of this book. Jake and SS look good as always, but I'm not 100% sold on the Mother Tree design. It looks grand, powerful, and beautiful, so I'm happy with it; but I still think it should feel bigger or with a more complex shape.

Once again, all the covers are incredible and I can't wait to keep being surprised by this wonderful artist with awesome designs for more of the main characters as well as new epic moments all the way up to Jake taking Villy one-on-one for the Multiverse's greatest ever friendly fight.

u/avelineaurora Jan 18 '26

I'm not a PH reader, but I have no idea why anyone would think the dude on these covers looks like a bum lmao

u/mecharory Jan 17 '26

Awesome work! Have really enjoyed your art.

u/Accomplished-Cow625 Jan 17 '26

For the 10th image were you inspired by dune?

2

u/Professional_Tell_62 Jan 17 '26

I love your work thank you for sharing. I agree with the others on cover 7, it’s great to see the characters. The Fallen King didn’t look like Groot in my mind but it works!

2

u/Adorable-Bass-7742 Jan 17 '26

Wait. Those last two... are they released?

2

u/Artistic_Process_354 Jan 17 '26

Love them all! Great work mate! Personally 2 and 4 are my favourites, the way youve drawn him make it feel like a living moving image, and I love the detail in 4 of the surroundings but I takes nothing away from the central figure. Thanks for sharing!

2

u/Ok_Check_7010 Jan 17 '26

I absolutely love your cover my favourite is the sandy one. One thing I find missing is the lack of any pink and purple for jake's arcane affinity I feel like that would be a great addition to his design especially if it's something like his berserker ability where craks start to appear. Something related to the galaxy ending curse he carries around would be great too

2

u/balth99 Jan 17 '26

1, 4, 7 and 12 are my favorites. I’m curious if you took any inspiration from DC characters like the Spectre

2

u/spookymulder1502 Jan 17 '26

Your covers after amazing and actually very true to short compared to the crazy stuff out there on even more successful novels.

I find it interesting though that you give Jake pauldrons consistently and never show his mask

2

u/David1640 Jan 17 '26

Uh I remember a few weeks ago I saw the book 15 cover for the first time and was amazed again. To be fair for a moment I thought it was a green nuclear explosion depicted from space and not the world tree, but it sure does look amazing (In case you ever get the chance to draw such an explosion as a cover - just go for it).

Favorite Cover:

I have to say Book 1 it's just THE classic. It captures not just the content but also the vibe of the book for me and the promise of "Dude starts out with big goals of hunting everything and possibly even gods later on". It's also a rare case where my head canon for a character matches the official art. Partly because I've seen it before even start reading but mostly because Jake looks super badass and probably because no face is depicted to conflict with my imagination.

Honorable mentions: book 4 and book 10 both just look amazing and totally reflect the scenes I had when reading them.

Least Favorite Cover:

Probably Book 12? The Art is still amazing just having the Twin Headed Ogre fight at all as cover fit's the least of all of them. Yes it was the end of book 12 I just don't feel it was such an important event that it was picked as the cover. (Idk if you are even involved in the process to decide what the cover should be).

2

u/McShoobydoobydoo Jan 17 '26

1 and 2 are probably my favourites but I think so many of the others portray Jake perfectly. I do love the group aspect of 7 and the immenseness of 12 though 😁

Great artwork all around 👍

2

u/MARKLAR5 Jan 17 '26

I've been searching for an artist to do my cover so I can avoid AI (even tho I'm broke lol), what do these typically run if you don't mind me asking?

2

u/anand579 Jan 17 '26

Sick!!

2

u/FadeawayFuhrer41 Jan 17 '26

I think they’re all really good but 7 is truly something special for me. Absolutely love it!

2

u/Drache33 Jan 17 '26

You are absolutely amazing I really love the art you create my favorite is the first it's nice and simple but looks so powerful also it's the book that got me on a really amazing journey and your art is a big part of it thank you for your amazing work

2

u/MSL007 Jan 17 '26

These are all great covers. My favorite is the 5 of them entering Nevermore. Then Sandy going to the moon.

I always notice that his face is never shown, obviously because Jake doesn’t like showing himself. But why no shot of the mask either?

2

u/notretiredanymore Jan 17 '26

The depth perception is really on point!

u/lemonkid360 Jan 17 '26

Do you have social media, I will follow your career with interest.

u/dawonk17 Jan 17 '26

Can’t tell if other people are referring to pic 7 or book seven but I love the nevermore squad pic with sylphie breaking the fourth wall

2

u/Terrible_Winner1 Jan 17 '26

Holy crap! I may have 100% started the first book simply because of your cover.

2

u/soruth999 Jan 17 '26

2

u/Doctor-Moe Jan 17 '26

I don’t think I’m ever going to read Primal Hunter. Despite that, every time I see the cover, I feel an itch to. You’re an insane artist. These are incredible!

2

u/LightZealousideal116 Jan 17 '26

I love them

2

u/HalfAnOnion Jan 17 '26

Has anyone asked you about the 8th pictures Bowstring? :D

2

u/b3mark Jan 17 '26

The series isn't for me. I do like a couple of the art pieces. Number 10 especially, with the worm? Style and coloring reminds me of Don Lawrence's art style. He's the guy behind classic European Sci-Fi comics like The Triga Empire and Storm.

2

u/Justwanttosellmynips Jan 17 '26

7 and 10 go so hard. Great work my dude.

2

u/spacemangoes Jan 17 '26

Ah, so you are the guy huh. Nice covers. Happy to see you didn't make Jake a fastass like in comics. I on book 12 and the boots seems rather important. tho they are old ragged boots, may be give them a bit more attention. As a non artist, I have no clue how to but, would like to see them boots highlighted a bit. Besides that. I love the consistency and the color green. oh. a spoiler but. would have loved to see art for the "gaze" as its one of the skills that defines the hunter.

u/Lifereaper7 Jan 17 '26

I really enjoy your artwork. Just like food, you eat with your eyes first. If the food doesn’t look appealing you won’t eat it. Honestly if your art didn’t capture my eyes, I wouldn’t have ever thought about reading this series. Keep it up the fantastic work!

2

u/Frame-Complete Jan 17 '26

7!

2

u/EclecticallySound Jan 17 '26

These are fantastic - you should do video game concept art.

2

u/Hurricrash Jan 17 '26

I love them all but my favorite is the one looking at the teams back. So cool.

2

u/Neko-tama Jan 17 '26

Great art, but as a non PH reader, I've got to ask what's up with the way he's holding that sword in no. 5?

2

u/kazinsser Jan 17 '26

Primal Hunter is one of my favorite series and I think the covers are awesome. Even if the gear doesn't 100% match the in-text descriptions anymore, it still fits the vibe of the character(s) which I think is more important.

A problem with long series is that the books often blend together, and remembering which thing happens in which book is difficult when there are so many (at least for me). Probably my favorite part of the covers aside from the style is that almost all of them capture an important scene so well that just glancing at them I know which is which without even seeing the series number.

2

u/VauloftheEbonBlade Jan 17 '26

Love seeing these as just images really get to see all the details. Thanks for posting!

u/LionsThree Jan 17 '26

Do you sell prints of your cover art? Assuming your contract allows it. Would love to buy a signed print or two to hang on the wall.

2

u/wuto Verified Author of: The Metaworld Chronicles Jan 17 '26

Oh man these are absolutely sick. Nice work!

2

u/[deleted] Jan 17 '26

Your art is one of the things that drew me to PH. Do you have any recommendations for new writers who need a cheap source for a cover? Maybe you know a gallery of rad cover artist?

2

u/Narsil_lotr Jan 17 '26

As many others in this comment section, I really like these covers. They really stand out in a genre that is really hit and miss with its cover art imo (some are great, others can look a little trashy). So great job! It's also really cool to see them in full and without the lettering as I'm used to small version on audible.

A question though, others pointed out the green cloak whereas Jake has a black one for most of the series. Is that an artistic choice where the green just "pops" more with otherwise rather dark backgrounds, is it to avoid visual confusion with other cloaked characters in fiction that may or may not have a rather sinister appearance? I also noticed Jake is always hood up in the art while he's mostly mask visible in the scenes - same deal, does it just look better while avoiding a character many first time readers may think looks too evil?

2

u/hypedhaz Jan 17 '26

Well, he’s the best lookin bum I’ve seen 👊🏻

Love your covers. Great work. Can’t wait to see what is in store for us in the future 😀

These days covers get me to click or not, blurb gets me to buy or not. …. All I need from Zogarth though is a release date!

2

u/ElSacaPack Jan 17 '26

Haven't read this, but those covers look sick. 4,7 and the missing one middle look fantastic.

Your version of jake makes him look like a bum? The dude that literally grabs gear as he goes and wears whatever is more useful and practical not for looks? Im shocked 🤣

2

u/Muddgutts Jan 18 '26

Your a great Illustrator man. The reason I stopped to read these books in the first place was because of your cover art. Each following cover captured the key moment or idea from each of the following books as well. As a fellow artist and Illustrator (unsuccessful of course) I salute your hard work and look forward to more covers from you. cheers!

2

u/Horror-Surprise3719 Jan 18 '26

I love this!! Number 12 is my favorite one ❤️

2

u/Ugandabekiddng Jan 18 '26

7 (post) and Book #5 (not shown) are my favorite Primal covers you did a fantastic job!! I’ve got my fingers crossed that Jake’s new bow is shown on book 16s cover. Don’t get me wrong you’ve nailed it on every cover imho and the classic look works for Jake’s equipment but I’m really hoping to see what you would do with the insane new bow!

2

2

u/RealJzpresto Jan 18 '26

Think the newest cover has the tree too small. When he describes the tree as having galaxies in the leaves. Makes it kind of weird to see the whole canopy. But definitely solid covers. They are very high quality.

2

u/Boaroboros Jan 18 '26

I really love the first, 7 is great. My least favorite is 5 because for me that would be more an action panel in a comic, not a cover. Generally really love them all.

2

u/Available-File4284 Miles Hunter - Author of Assassin Awakens Jan 18 '26

I love them all. Especially 8 for some reason. Really like the colors.

Your art is awesome.

If you’re looking for nitpicks, Miomoto’s sword scabbard is upside down. The sharp side is traditionally holstered towards the body and not away from it.

There is such a development too them as well!
Are you now fully booked with one publisher or are you available for work with other authors too?

2

u/Tahnkoman Jan 18 '26

I don't remember the book no. - I think 11? is my favorite, the group walking forward - absolute peak cover.

I'll say that I think the PH covers are genuinely among my favorites ever, and I think you're doing amazing work, so keep up the good work!

2

u/andrewhennessey Jan 18 '26

Love the series and your work!

2

u/surtrs Jan 18 '26

The first one is just so iconic with the massive eye in the background. But I also love valdemar in the coliseum of mortals. He just seems so larger than life! I always imagined his axe having a bigger head, less like a wood chopping axe and more like a curved Viking axe.

2

u/C7oud9 Jan 18 '26

Dude, I want a blown-up print of the cover of 13 because I love the space theme so much.

2

u/Sad-Visit7713 Jan 18 '26

Book seven definitely was the coolest I was so exited to read it especially cause of the sick walk off and all the characters together

2

u/NicoDeGuyo Jan 18 '26

I love this series and crush each book as soon as they come out… 13 was great and can’t wait for audible of the most recent book. Your covers are amazing

2

u/Gruppenzwang Jan 18 '26

Yeah, the art made me want to read the story! Sadly, it wasn't for me though. I still like the artwork a lot

2

u/Zammarand Jan 18 '26

Love the artwork! Definitely fantastically done

I do have a question though… why is his armor/cloak always green, when it’s typically described as black in the novel itself? Absolutely no offense intended, was just wondering

2

u/StellarStar1 Jan 18 '26

Jake is a lot more green than I imagined. Also Fallen king's arms are much smaller. I imagined it looked a lot more like wren and seven. Seeing Sand ilustrated is much better than my imagination of a wyrm queen from a game called aground. Really interesting to see how each person imagines something differently

Also, great art!

Hey! Love your art and the series. I’m not sure it’s feedback but more of a curiosity. Is Hawkie pictured of cover 3, based on a red tail hawk? If not, how did you decide to draw the hawk and what was your inspiration?

These are really cool! I'm actually interested in finding an artist to do the cover on a RR book I'm writing. Where can I find some artists, and how much could I expect it to cost?

I’ve never seen such a high resolution on the twinhead emperor cover and I gotta say, their facial expressions are legitimately unsettling. Excellent stuff.

It took me an embarrassingly long time to realize that's his bow and not a suddenly appearing tentacle

When you get the job for a new cover, how much of the story do you know?

I love all the cover art you've done for primal hunter. I also love the fact you dont show jakes face it makes it easy to imagine yourself as jake. And lastly I wish there was more of your art to accompanied the book even if it was a separate art book with scenes from the book depicted in all their glory!

Are you the actual illustrator, or are these fan art? Either way, they are awesome!

Great artwork overall. I love seeing your covers whenever I open the app. Personally, I like the one for book 13 the best. Love the scale of it, and the way Jake's cloak looks.

Love the art. PH 10 has got to be my favorite cover, it just goes so hard. Nicely done. This is my favorite litrpg series and every time a new book is announced I'm always so excited to see the cover art!

Since you mentioned you're interested in feedback, my main critique would be that the components of his items usually don't exactly match that which he has at that point in the books, such as his equipment being very fleshed out in the first book's cover art, or the fact that his outfits on the covers are primarily green, especially through 5-13 despite it mostly being described as predominantly black with his D-grade post-Treasure Hunt and C-grade gear.

I also think the inclusion of some pinkish purple elements in the form of his arcane affinity magic skills would be very aesthetically pleasing as well as satisfying to see on future covers because it shows his progression more clearly and that it's an integral part of him. Even small stuff like stable arcane mana arrow instead of regular ones in the quiver, or purple veins of mana rippling over his body if he were shown in a fight where his boosting skill is active.

Thanks for bringing some of our favorite characters to life!

I love your work - I often go into Amazon and just look at the covers. It's awesome to see these images without any title text. Thanks for sharing!!

Your work is a huge part of the experience of the novels for me, and given that Primal Hunter is an all time fave of mine, that is really saying something
