Cover Shenanigans
Added 2021-02-15 00:13:29 +0000 UTC
So I Commissioned some art of Jess for the cover of Book 1 along with art of Smartass for Book 2. This represents three days of work on the part of the artist, and I think it looks fantastic. The finished product might be a couple inches more lewd but still within acceptable parameters...hopefully. I'd like to hear what you guys think about it. opinions about changes are being reviewed for the next 20ish hours before I send the final notes to the artist.
You may want me to keep the original cover, but I wanted to hire one artist to do 2 new covers for 2 major reasons:
1: so they would both match each other, and
2: so that people who might have skipped the first offering of the book on kindle will see something they might click on this time.
Oops, forgot to link the artist:

He good at armor, which is Jess's thing.

2021-03-02 06:28:39 +0000 UTCface seems a little to young, maybe a few years older as she looks like she's sixteen... so its kinda weird to talk about showing more skin.

2021-02-27 03:30:23 +0000 UTC@Macronomicon It reminds me of another KA redhead from another of my favorite series. Have you ever read the Tabitha series by Andrew Hall? Really cool sci-fi series with similar looking MC. Good read if you get a chance.

2021-02-18 22:14:19 +0000 UTCMaybe possible to have more of her armor manifesting in the image? Might show some skin that way too

2021-02-15 20:12:31 +0000 UTCOh look! It's edgy merida
2021-02-15 15:35:42 +0000 UTC@Johnathan Grant I think I mightβve deleted your comment while scrolling on my phone... the comment was for a more dynamic pose sprinter crouch.

2021-02-15 09:40:21 +0000 UTCHmmm, good point. What do you have in mind?

2021-02-15 06:05:14 +0000 UTCHer off hand angled weird. Her hair threw me off a bit but then I decided I kinda liked it. Weapon is also different than I pictured. But I like it too.

2021-02-15 04:39:57 +0000 UTCI would put Merla and Terresa in the back, even just as shadows, facing each other, to foreshadow things, and make the readers go ooh I gotta show this to my friends.

2021-02-15 03:36:03 +0000 UTCI asked the artist to make her look 'innocent' to make the evil armor look eviler by comparison. that's probably what you're picking up on, there.
Macronomicon
2021-02-15 02:35:28 +0000 UTCnah, it's not done.
Macronomicon
2021-02-15 02:34:39 +0000 UTCsorry but the face looks like a kid playing dressup and the hair is ok but not right for the character imho oh and I thought the sward was a katana or do I miss remember?

2021-02-15 01:48:20 +0000 UTCLooks good! Kinda getting a medieval painting vibe from her pose if that makes sense. XD Is the Smartass one done?

2021-02-15 00:53:49 +0000 UTCshe was one of the reference pics i gave the guy, sooo...not too far off the mark there.
Macronomicon
2021-02-15 00:24:55 +0000 UTCIt looks nice, for some reason I saw it and thought about Merida from Brave.

2021-02-15 00:20:39 +0000 UTCIt will live on in our hearts.

2021-02-15 00:18:14 +0000 UTCI like the new cover!

2021-02-15 00:17:19 +0000 UTCI'm torn. I want more people to buy your book, you deserve it. I also like the current cover, the strangness is what got my attention
