2" Animation backgrounds to E - Books

 For The The Roman Eagle book by Simon Sparrow,  Twi ideas for the front cover. First one Soliders waiting to go in to battle.

The

The 2nd book Soliders waiting again , but features are more on the  men carrying the flags.  

 The first book is THE ORacle, it has an ancient feel, I wanted to try to create a heat feeling, a glaze background

In Sleeping Beauty we always have this perfect castle all in tacked. Yes there is a spell but I wanted it more real, if  a building is left alone for years then nature will reclaim that land, and what man makes falls down this then is the background.  Also I did not want to do a re make of disney done badly.
