Feedback on draft artwork
Added 2022-07-19 04:40:22 +0000 UTCHi all,
This is the draft art for the next book in the Grand Game series. I'm not quite convinced by the cover. Any comments/feedback to improve it are welcome.
Note, the above artwork is still B&W and needs to be colored.

Late to the party. Overall I like the feel of the cover. The swords are in all covers quite different length. Book 1: roughly hand to shoulder. Book 2: Blade goes only from hand to elbow. (could have been longer they would qualify more as long daggers) Book 3: The length here is again more like the first. The fixation of the swords is also slightly "flimsy". The X leather strap does not look to me like it could hold two blades. https://www.kultofathena.com/product/rfb-double-sword-back-harness-black/ I know that reference has the handles up but it would create some kind of teeth style :) Regarding the issue with the arm length to pull the swords out. If the harness had a quick release mechanism then the arm length would be less of an issue (I am not an expert in this regard). Does not solve the gravity part.
