Cover Release for Silver Stars (Guardian of Aster Fall 8)

Here'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.

Cover Release for Silver Stars (Guardian of Aster Fall 8)

Comments

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.

David North

Just preference now, but he doesn’t like being too short.

David North

He is no longer locked into a minimum height? ...I do kind of remember something about that, the beginning of Fourth Star? Need to reread.

Carl Mason

I 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

TerrestrialOverlord

Up on a peak. Couldn’t get an accurate one that fits well in this cover.

David North

He adjusts it to whatever he wants these days. 6.5-7ft or so.

David North

I 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

Well, it does look like the top part of Minas Tirith. Kinda.

Nicole Hicks

Well, 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

Or maybe make this not be Silverguard itself, but one of the annexes? They are supposed to be smaller, right?

Carl Mason

What about the Titans Forge?

Tsunami

I was kind of picturing Minas Tirith as a base, for the Relic, too. Mixed with a little machu picchu for the relic.

Carl Mason

Their rays are visible behind the mountain. So yes every book

Seth

I like it. it was way more spartan in my imagination but this is much better

TerrestrialOverlord

Great cover art!! More details for the reader’s imagination to capture when reading

Joe Steitz

the moons were not on the cover for Book 4

Alfred Owusu

Not with appreciable detail, anyway.

Carl Mason

Think of this as a concept. The real thing wouldn’t fit on a cover. :)

David North

Isn'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

I love that the Moons are always a prominent feature in every book cover

Seth

Beautiful!

K

Haha, the bottom part actually is based on Mont Saint Michel. The top is based on a 3d castle render.

David North

It’s evocative of Mont-Saint-Michel

John Smith

Ok, that’s epic

John Smith

Big ol' cathedral city, nice.

Carl Mason

Very classy
