I have a new cover for BW1. The artist is booked forever, and takes a long time to get work done, but does good work.
No other covers are currently in process of being redone, but I wanted to update this one to maybe bring more eyes to the series.
Oops, it just did!

Didnt register about the dress... fair enough!

Ah. Good point. Also, I love the little purple magic haze with the Shaping. Now everyone gets a little color puff specific to them in my head. It'll never be mentioned but I will know it's there.

Ah. They deserve it. Amazing talent.

Well she is wearing a dress there, which she didn't do until after Sean, so...

physical copy new cover is in the works still.
The artist has a full-time gig with a game company, so I can't just book them.

I think you might be right there.

Insert massive eye-bulge emoji here.
INCREDIBLE! Honestly, I'd recommend booking that artist for future novels. No offense to the previous artist's hard work but this is tons better. Fiona never looked so good! Heck, I'd almost recommend new covers with Myna, Helga, Aria, Hallie for 7. I know it might be cliche as a lot of authors already do this but the results speak for themselves here. I want to buy a paper copy right now to have on my shelf. Or a poster on my wall!

I have a question on the cover.... At that time, wasn't the metal side not capable of shaping? In the image, it looks like she is shaping wood with her metal arm.
Jeff Irish
2022-09-12 10:22:30 +0000 UTC
Beautiful work! I really like how much it contrasts the metal and skin, and also brings forward the shaping. Lovely work, and hopefully it will indeed bring more notice to your work as well!

i love this one the detail is amazing it looks a lot better than the other cover but I just really love this story

Oh and it's probably my favourite series, well deserving of a new cover too.

Amazingly good.

Oh boss, finally some professional cover art! The stuff you had is good for amateur art, but this is the gold standard for Amazon books these days

Finally!!! I always thought you were leaving a lot of sales on the table due to your cover art not really selling the book. A shallow thing, I know, but eyeballs are eyeballs, and once you draw one to actually read the blurb and look at some (glowing) reviews, that's 90% of the job. Cover art exists to sell the book.
I was guessing you'd hire SubVersion, but this is very, very well done.

Looks fantastic. I know a lot of people ignore the plainer or less polished covers so this should help. Have to admit that I thought BW was selling well based on how often just I recommend it. I never recommend anything.

That looks amazing!

Dannnnngggggg. I liked the old one because it was different. However, this rendering is just plain amazeballs.

Could be after that first dinner she wore a dress to
Daniel Schinhofen
2022-09-10 18:40:02 +0000 UTC
it's being worked on
Daniel Schinhofen
2022-09-10 18:39:25 +0000 UTC
Love the new cover. I think it more properly represents Fiona.

WTF 😱 this is way better. I do rather the more sexual ones but this is well done to give an idea of what the history is about and here fiona looks amazing. Well done, I do rather 3D rendering than hand drawing so for me this is way better. 👌

Agreed the new cover looks amazing.

The old cover drew me in because it was a women just not a women flashing her lady bits like most others seem to do in the harem slice of life ganre, plus dont hate me for it, it was rustic not flashy, i thought this author has put more time and effort into the story and i was not proven wrong .
Dont get me wrong i love the new colour and understand why to reach a bigger audience who like flashy things, which is cool we need this to get more exposure, if you had seen how crappy jk rowlings early first draft editions she did and how better and better covers came about.
My early terry pratchett signed books are like that and are now well thumbed (plus have special little addons just for me so would never sell them) one day i hope to get a full set from yourself so i can put them on the shelf so make the spines good to look at as well please lol.

Trey Atkins

Is this going to be available in paperback? I haven't bought any paperbacks of your stuff yet, but I'd definitely buy this on for the cover alone

Love this
Mark mcwha
2022-09-10 16:41:57 +0000 UTC
I assume this is after she met Sean

Dang. Glad they found full-time work. Plenty of talent out there who may be interested to work with you. Really enjoy BW and AR.

Looks great
Joshua Morris
2022-09-10 16:36:04 +0000 UTC
It's a amazing cover but I thought she couldn't use her energy in her left arm before sean. She also tried to cover her shame as much as possible.
Aaron Blue
2022-09-10 16:36:01 +0000 UTC
Love it but isn't Fiona's energy supposed to be green?
Yackaban
2022-09-10 16:31:51 +0000 UTC
If only. The artist has a fulltime job with a game company, they had a small lull that let me sneak this in though. Doubt I'll ever get more form them.
Daniel Schinhofen
2022-09-10 16:30:50 +0000 UTC
nope always followed the collarbone to the shoulder.
Daniel Schinhofen
2022-09-10 16:30:16 +0000 UTC
if I remember correctly is stopped at her collar bone
Yackaban
2022-09-10 16:30:13 +0000 UTC
Am I mistaken? I thought her right side was the metal one.

Beautiful interpretation of Fiona and the setting. Would love to see more of the characters, from all your series, by this artist.
JC
2022-09-10 16:28:57 +0000 UTC
Looks awesome, isn’t the metal on her face as well or am I remembering wrong?
