New Volume 1 Covers! (WIP) (Patreon)

Since signing with a publisher, I proposed the idea of redoing the cover since they are specifically made to SELL when they sit on a shelf. The publisher agreed. I've learned a lot in 5 years, and hearing some advice about redoing the cover had me thinking. I took the fresh approach with the Volume 2 concept many months ago, but Volume 1 definitely needed a revisit, so here's the process!

What you're seeing is what I believe to be the final layout. It still has to be produced and rendered, but everything is in its proper place. I went through a lot of trusted peer review and landed on this. I also included a new back cover that may be used. I simply want to convey the whole story’s themes and vibe on both front and back. People like seeing characters on covers! The challenge is not making it scattered and chaotic. There's a balance and flow with composition, so I HOPE I got it right haha.

Anyway, here's a few samples!

P.S. For anyone that bought copies from me at Anthrocon 2022, consider your copy a super rare print exclusive that will be worth millions in the future lol (I kid).
