Fortunately the works are still in project format, so if it needs to be a shade lighter but people like the top one better, I can figure out how to make that one a bit lighter.Ted Crosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09022309459554237650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2319453613836766610.post-37936908497977763092012-11-25T19:31:56.116+01:002012-11-25T19:31:56.116+01:00I like the middle one.

It feels epic, not like covers with a picture of the MC holding a sword or looking all freaky (weird color eyes, pasty faces, or outlandish clothing). I'd buy this novel just to get to the scene depicted and find out what all is going on here.<br /><br />Vic does good work. You must have also Ted for come up with this so fast. Awesome.<br /><br />.........dhole dolorahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715849844092553699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2319453613836766610.post-64513726313988390772012-11-25T18:52:32.675+01:002012-11-25T18:52:32.675+01:00I appreciate the feeback.
