Cover Release for Silver Stars (Guardian of Aster Fall 8)
Added 2024-05-20 16:55:02 +0000 UTCHere's the cover for Book 8!
Miblart did it, like the others. It took a couple of months to go through a bunch of drafts.

Good reference, but it’s complicated to get an artist to make it exactly fit my vision. This works for the idea and fits on the cover.

2024-05-21 22:21:52 +0000 UTCJust preference now, but he doesn’t like being too short.
David North
2024-05-21 22:20:01 +0000 UTCHe is no longer locked into a minimum height? ...I do kind of remember something about that, the beginning of Fourth Star? Need to reread.

2024-05-21 22:19:30 +0000 UTCI was more thinking how Atlantis fully shielded looked from outside in the SG series, when flying in space but with a massive hall in the center instead of all the towers

2024-05-21 22:17:28 +0000 UTCUp on a peak. Couldn’t get an accurate one that fits well in this cover.
David North
2024-05-21 21:41:47 +0000 UTCHe adjusts it to whatever he wants these days. 6.5-7ft or so.
David North
2024-05-21 21:23:24 +0000 UTCI actually have to ask because I can't let it go: how tall is Humanoid Sam now? Previously, every time he grew his bottom end height would rise as well. Now that he is 5500 ft tall as Titan Sam, how tall is Human Sam?
Carl Mason
2024-05-21 21:14:03 +0000 UTCWell, it does look like the top part of Minas Tirith. Kinda.
Nicole Hicks
2024-05-21 18:28:17 +0000 UTCWell, that just doesn't seem right! If your gonna put it on the cover of the book and Silverguard is the place where much of the action takes place or where the main character is at a lot of the time in the book, it's Silverguard your gonna use as the cover picture on the book, not an annex of Silverguard.
Nicole Hicks
2024-05-21 18:25:37 +0000 UTCOr maybe make this not be Silverguard itself, but one of the annexes? They are supposed to be smaller, right?
Carl Mason
2024-05-21 13:39:00 +0000 UTCWhat about the Titans Forge?
Tsunami
2024-05-21 10:10:16 +0000 UTCI was kind of picturing Minas Tirith as a base, for the Relic, too. Mixed with a little machu picchu for the relic.
Carl Mason
2024-05-21 04:49:13 +0000 UTCTheir rays are visible behind the mountain. So yes every book
Seth
2024-05-21 02:46:38 +0000 UTCI like it. it was way more spartan in my imagination but this is much better
TerrestrialOverlord
2024-05-21 02:12:10 +0000 UTCGreat cover art!! More details for the reader’s imagination to capture when reading
Joe Steitz
2024-05-21 01:27:21 +0000 UTCthe moons were not on the cover for Book 4
Alfred Owusu
2024-05-21 00:45:41 +0000 UTCNot with appreciable detail, anyway.
Carl Mason
2024-05-21 00:06:48 +0000 UTCThink of this as a concept. The real thing wouldn’t fit on a cover. :)
David North
2024-05-20 22:06:28 +0000 UTCIsn't there supposed to be a mountain? And Isn't the piece of the Vos'Rekan that Sam turned into Silverguard like an island the size of one of the medium sized Hawaiian Islands? Tracks of open land was mentioned once. This is still a cool cover for the book but it doesn't seem to do Silverguard justice. Too small!! Think Avengers Asgard. That's what I imagine size-wiise with a huge mountain and huge castle complex and Sam's forge on top of the mountain.
Nicole Hicks
2024-05-20 22:05:45 +0000 UTCI love that the Moons are always a prominent feature in every book cover
Seth
2024-05-20 21:16:05 +0000 UTCBeautiful!

2024-05-20 18:06:32 +0000 UTCHaha, the bottom part actually is based on Mont Saint Michel. The top is based on a 3d castle render.
David North
2024-05-20 17:46:29 +0000 UTCIt’s evocative of Mont-Saint-Michel
John Smith
2024-05-20 17:44:44 +0000 UTCOk, that’s epic
John Smith
2024-05-20 17:43:57 +0000 UTCBig ol' cathedral city, nice.
Carl Mason
2024-05-20 17:12:10 +0000 UTCVery classy
