Cover Art - Feedback Requested

799 Views 13 Replies 10 Participants Last post by  ToniD
Hi folks,

Having finished my first novel last month (yay!), and having taken most of that month off from writing to deal with family stuff, I've spent the last couple weeks getting the MS squared away. Part of that process, of course, involves lining up cover art. I asked the awesome Jeroen ten Berge (http://www.jeroentenberge.com/) to design a cover. We've gone back and forth a few times and now have a cover that I think is pretty good. But before I pull the trigger, I'd appreciate some feedback from the unbiased.

Of course, I can't seem to figure out how the heck to upload an image file on here. ??? The little "Insert Image" button just puts in some html code, but where does the file go?

Argh.

I guess I'll just point you toward my blog post where you can see it. http://michaelkingswood.com/2011/06/19/masters-cover-round-3/ Sorry about that.

Anyway, if any of y'all have any thoughts, I'd love to hear them.

Thanks!

Nice. The colouring on the first two said "western" to me. The third is much better. I like it a lot.
The bottom left one says "Cowboys Vs Sauron" - I'd totally read it :p

Overall it has a sort of "On The Beach" by Nevil Shute feel to it, I like it. Congratz! :)

LOL

Only problem is the character's not a cowboy, and he's not fighting Sauron. ;) Hence the reason for changing it.

Hi Michael,

Here's the code you would use to insert the image in your post here:

Ding, ding, ding!  That's a winner!
I like the top one best, definitely - the one Sybil posted. The blue road really adds something. I like the way the title glows, too.

Really like that cover.

Thanks for the assist. :)
The fabulous Jeroen does it again! He does our covers too. Love this one.  ;D
Good cover!

I also like the glowing title, and the shadows cast by the horse/rider.

Also, you have a threatening eye under your first and last names. Ominous.
