Emerald House Rising cover proposal revised

[pegkerr]

Im happy to say that the editor listened to my concerns about the cover and took them to her designer, and I'm so pleased with the revision:



Okay, this building doesn't show the city of Piyanthia on the scale that I envisioned. In my headcanon, what the cover is showing is maybe a guard tower or outpost along the Koh River at the entrance to the harbor that Piyanthia is built around.

I can live with it. In fact, I'm quite happy with it. When the editor told me that she was sending it back for a redraft, I didn't think the designer would do such a good job of incorporating my comments and addressing my concerns. And most importantly, it isn't stock art, but something that was designed specifically for this book. Hurrah!

Oh, that's a nice one. I'm still not altogether reconciled to the font of the title, but it does curve well with the lines of the art. And I can read it, so I don't really know what I'm being fussy about.

I'm glad they listened to you. It's sure not the way to bet that they will.

I had always assumed that book covers were custom art (unless it was a photograph of a famous RL landmark or something), so I was really surprised by the issue that had happened with the previous cover. I'm glad you got something truly unique this time, and more fitting. <3
