On this page you can see a selection of pictures, outlining the process undertaken by Louis as he put together the sleeve front picture. Included are a few of his sketches, to highlight how he worked with the author to accurately transform Robin's thoughts into the final sleeve. As part of the process working with the author, it was important that each aspect of the image was drawn to fit with the descriptions in the book, a fine example is how Louis worked to ensure that even the bricks on the walls, fitted in with Robin's ideas of the Hidden Crypt.
