Book IV Cover preview

Normally I post completed cover art, but I decided to post what I have so far for the front cover of Book IV of The Legacy Incarnate: Incarnate Key.

For some reason the picture looks gray
on blogger...

As you can see, it's just line art right now.  I use GIMP to illustrate my book covers, and I used a lot of paths on the buildings.  I also incorporated some symbolism relevant to the story and the world of Libera in general.  If you're familiar with the Chronicles of Libera, can you spot the symbolism?

I also base the cover art for this series off of a scene in the story.  By the point of this scene, the characters are pretty worn out, physically and emotionally, but they have each other to lean on soon before the greatest trial Sabra must face in this nocturnal city.

Some of you may have noticed I haven't posted any Strange Blessings serials lately.  I've been caught up in another short story project, which has been uber fun to write, and that I may post here on the Lair. (It's a fan fiction, so I may need the permission of the original creator of the world before posting  it on this, my promotional and authorial website.)

Revision has gone very well on Book II of LI: Incarnate Dream, and I've been teaching myself how to keep consistencies in mind, and to look back at key points in a manuscript so that the story flows well.  I'm nearing the end of the third revision.  The adventure of formatting and completing the one-piece cover art are soon at hand!
