She's awesome.
So, without further ado. The covers:
(Look at me not playing hard to get...)
Oi, but this cover was a bear and a HALF to get just right, but I like how it ultimately came together. Yep, I was sneaky and worked in the old cover art - which was one of the biggest struggles. The other struggle was making sure that Madeleine didn't look like she'd been beaten.
Confession here - I never liked the sword that my cousin used for the cover of Kingdom. So, now that I had the power to do the cover myself ... I made sure that I had the right sword. Emerald in the pommel. Not a weird lion-looking thing.
Now we're to the Ankulen's new cover, first of the ones that Alea did. I was going to do this one, but she messaged me saying she had a concept ... and I offered to send her some pictures of the bracelet that I made for the original cover ... and of my legs. I had to shave my legs first. Anywho. I love the fact that the opening of the book is on the cover, and that there's a pen in the title. It's awesome. Alea is awesome.
You might recognize these cover - they're some of the fancovers that Alea did for Water Princess, Fire Prince. See, I mentioned to Alea that I kiiiiinda wished that they were the real covers, and she said she could make it happen. So, yes. Ain't they gorgeous?
I love all of these covers so terribly stinkin' much.

ReplyDeleteAh!! Yeah, using purple I can see how that might have been a problem! But you did a splendid job!
ReplyDeleteI thought I'd seen them before!!
Well, hey, the horse works for Sew because Our Heroes do a lot of riding. (Fun fact: I actually got a sneak peek at this one because I have it on my Amazon Wish List!)
ReplyDeleteI like the mandala design on WPFP--adds that little touch of whimsical intrigue, if that makes sense.
So much prettyyy! Sew is my favorite! ^_^ And WPFP is my fave of Alea's. :D SO MUCH SHINY AND COLOR EVERYWHERE! I'm excited. :D
ReplyDeleteGreat job Kendra!!!! I really like these covers better!!!! Both of you did GREAT JOBS!!!!!!!!!! <3
ReplyDeleteWoohoo!! Are they available in paperback yet? ;)
ReplyDeleteSo far, only Sew, it's a Quest is, but I'm about to take it down for a day or two because I discovered a small formatting inconsistency in the proof that I need to address.
DeleteI LOVE that Do You Take This Quest? has the original cover art worked into it. <3
ReplyDeleteAmazing! Loved how you were able to use some of the old cover art too! :)
