Imperial Traitor Artwork - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

The final Imperial book now has a cover image. It still has all the lettering to put in place, but I thought you might like a taste of what's to come. Here's the raw image to give you a feeling of what the cover will look like. Once again, Geoff Taylor has managed to capture the imagery in dramatic fashion. What do you think?

Nice! A very good depiction.

Joel007 · 20th September 2006, 05:23 PM

sweeet

AmazingAmanda253 · 21st September 2006, 07:46 PM

Wow, very cool.

Spooky! Striking colors, and the faces in the dark rocks are scary. Really catches the eye!

Wow - this really brings to life the image I had in my head of the Assassins' Guild HQ from proofreading Imperial Assassin. A great piece of work - Geoff has definitely done it again!

Very intriguing! That cover suggests any number of interesting possibilities ...

That is very something... not pretty but interesting

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. I think once the lettering is in place it will compliment the other two covers very nicely. Once again, there will be an animal icon as part of the title - this time it will be a leaping panther which will form the 'T' of Traitor. All I have to do now is finish writing the story! Nearly there - only about another 2 weeks to complete the draft I would say.

Joel007 · 22nd September 2006, 02:16 PM

oooh, a panther! can't wait to see that one

the lettering on the other 2 covers is spectacular. (I actually got someone to read it once when they were impressed by the artwork, and then in awe of the texturing!)

interesting, doesnt give much away as to what the storyline will be either

Mark Robson · 28th September 2006, 11:14 PM

Well, it's not quite as I'd imagined it, but I think the art director at S & S has an excellent instinct for cover art. I'm aware that sounds a bit pompous coming from me, as I can't draw an egg, but I like the finish is what I was trying to say.

Winters_Sorrow · 28th September 2006, 11:20 PM

Well it IS very striking and that's the goal of cover art I guess.
The panther or whatever it is forming the "i" is pretty good too

Very striking cover indeed.
