My Endangered Cover Painting post got so many comments so quickly I was forced to respond in a separate post, which you'll find here.

...that reminds me I hoped to contact you about doing a bit of cover art for me... :)

Yay!

I am so thrilled that lots of people jumped into the conversation. It's really turning up some interesting ideas, including things to try that might help preserve big fancy book cover art.

By amusing synchronicity, ellenmillion just opened discussion for the early stages of a sketch that we hope to develop into the cover of the next Torn World anthology. It's not going to be six feet tall, but it's a nice wraparound of a high-conflict scene. Folks are into detailed discussion of art theory, mostly composition at this stage as we try to decide on blocking and balance. I love this.
