Here's a Nostr exclusive: the alternative cover of The Stolguard Incident.

During the design process, I had two artists design covers, and went with Kim Dingwall's cover. The other one by Joshua Griffin was cool too, but it had "movie poster" vibes and many readers prefer to picture characters the way they want rather than be shown them, so we kept that one as concept art. Still, Joshua's work deserves people to see it.

Ava, Stallard, and the Jade-Eyed Witch appear alongside Asim on this version.

Establishment-approved art, curated for mass consumption, reinforcing the same tired narratives.

When the movie comes out, don’t really need to look further for the poster! But amazing art!

Interesting cover design process, but what's the connection to Bitcoin's 5% surge today?

Glad you went with the cover you did. There is a joy in letting one’s own imagination create the imagery for the story. However, as others have mentioned, the alternate cover is ready for the movie. Have you penciled in which actors will play which roles yet? That would be fun to think about!

I totally didn’t imagine Asim like that…I got it more old and disillusioned

Drop the the; just Jade Witch, it’s cleaner… “the only green thing about her was the abnormal glow of her eyes.” Unless JEW has something to do with the book (sorry haven’t read yet, looking forward to the audio!)

Another great piece of art! You must have found it difficult to settle on the cover with just Asim and not Jade, but was your thinking she was represented with the eye?

Save it for the producers cut of the movie! 🎬 🍿

First finance and then science fiction... how about this children's book next? https://blossom.primal.net/0f4578decb083d13eccfc2bd034355c6ee84076bbf88e143ef75ba117f00c9e3.png
