[ThomasCardin]

Hello, my name is Thomas Cardin and I am about to release the third book in my Gifts of Vorallon trilogy, Lord of Vengeance.

The Gifts of Vorallon is the forbidden tale of a mythological figure, a hero of destiny in Vorallon's the first age. It is a time when magic was in its infancy, primordial and strong. A time when Gods walked among men.

This is the cover I have painted for the third and final book:

I will see how it looks on my proof copy from createspace, but I want to give readers here a chance to check it out and offer their feedback. The first two books in the trilogy, can be viewed through the links in my signature - their covers were painted by me as well, using photoshop with a smattering of 3D elements created in 3DS Max.

Besides being a new author, my day job has been a computer graphic artist and animator for the last 25 years...I began way back in the 8-bit days doing game art for commodore 64's - the cave man days of computer art

Welcome to KBoards, and congratulations on the book!

This is just a friendly reminder that KBoards is a Readers and Kindle Fan forum. Authors are always welcome to post anywhere but, as you browse the 'boards, please keep in mind that self-promotion, of any sort, is ONLY allowed here in the Book Bazaar.

A brief recap of our rules follows: (Note that this doesn't mean you've done anything wrong; we just want you to have a ready reference, so post this note in every thread. )

--Please bookmark this thread (using your browser's bookmark/favorite function) so you can update it as we ask that authors have only one thread per book and add to it when there is more information. You may start a separate thread for each book (or you may have one thread per series of books, or one thread for all of your books, it's your choice).

--We invite you to use your book cover as your avatar and have links to your book and website in your signature. Instructions are posted here

--While you may respond to member posts to your thread at any time, you may only bump your thread (back-to-back posts by you) once every seven days. Once you've responded to a member, that resets the clock to zero and you must wait seven days to post, unless another member posts before then.

--We ask that Amazon reviews not be repeated here as they are easy to find at your book link. Also, full reviews from other sites should not be posted here, but you may post a short blurb and a link to the full review instead.

--Although self-promotion is limited to the Book Bazaar, our most successful authors have found the best way to promote their books is to be as active throughout KBoards as time allows. This is your target audience--book lovers with Kindles! Please note that putting link information in the body of your posts outside the Book Bazaar constitutes self promotion; please leave your links for your profile signature that will automatically appear on each post. For information on more ways to promote here on KBoards, be sure to check out this thread:
Authors: KBoards Tips & FAQ.

All this, and more, is included in our Forum Decorum. Be sure to check it from time to time for the current guidelines and rules.

Thanks for being part of KBoards! Feel free to send us a PM if you have any questions.

That cover looks beautiful. I totally dig the birds in the background! I'm not entirely sure about the human figure, though... it looks a bit too computerized to my taste. But the cover matches the previous two book covers very well

I think your cover goes well with your description of the book.
