My thoughts exactly. A bit of mystery and implied action. The image I have in mind specifically is that of Tavera and Derk's arms being bound together with ribbon. Of course, I'm no artist, so...yeah.

I am not either, which is why the book I just release had its cover designed by an artist. she painted the scene, and I loaded it into Photoshop and added text.

Ok, I'm reviving this thread after 3 months of death. I promise I'll be quick and then put a shotgun to it's skull.

Anyhow, I've finally finished up the new cover and I wanted to share it here and say thanks again to everyone who provided input.

chrisanthropic - when I looked back at the first cover and now I see your new one - what a major improvement. Bravo. My only comment is that I'm not sure what the hand is holding? Is that a magnifying glass? But the cover has power, nice fonts and it interests me. Best, Michael Grossman

Nitpicking-wise, I'd say the shadow at the top of the bowl seems a bit too dark to me, but all in all, I'd say, YES, that looks like a good cover.

(Looks to me like the hand isn't holding anything, but hovering over a scrying *something* that shows the face. In full view I saw the ripples in the water, otherwise it could also have been a mirror with a deep frame.)

Yes, we were extremely happy with the artist's ability to capture her emotional state in that scene.

I'm glad you were able to understand almost exactly what we were going for - it's a scene from the book where the main character is hesitating at a temple entrance while dipping her hands in the chalice of holy water and contemplating the issues at hand. And of course it's also a picture of a thief grasping a jeweled chalice...

Thanks! It took hours of scouring font sites until I found them but I am very pleased with them as well. The main font is 'Shangri La' and the second one is simply 'Calligraphy'.

Anyhow, thanks again for the feedback. You guys saw what the cover could have looked like (in the first post) and instead we have this. Thank you all for the advice, comments, and support.

Wow, I did absolutely nothing to help you achieve this outcome, but am dropping by to say great job!

I love this cover and would be likely to pick it up on the artwork's strength alone.
