An illustrated day
Nov. 28th, 2006 08:44 pmChecked out the Incident e-arc again--hey, it's my first online story, ok--and saw that there's another illustration. Jani, running with the girl, Annalise. And Jani has short hair! And dark skin!
It's quite stylized, and very neat.
In other news, my editor sent the second pass at the ENDGAME cover. This has the background. Shades of sepia, dark brown, and greyed blue. Desert. Buildings that seem a cross between Petra and Angkor Wat. Moons, and spaceships and Jani walking down the stairs of a temple-like building, knives in hand. Her hair is too long--shoulder-length--and will be fixed. But even now, it's flippin' gorgeous. A Dune-ish science fantasy cover.
Could be a wrap cover, with lettering in sliver-blue metallic ink. A complete departure from the first four covers, but in the mood of the story and like I said...I love it.
ETA: Upon further review, one could say that this cover compares somewhat to that of CI, and that there is some semblance of logical progression.
By golly, I like it.
