Description
For this cover, I had to figure out how to include five unique characters from the book without making it too congested. So, like many a band of heroes do at some point in their epic tale, I had them pose for an impromptu portrait to document their place in history and folklore.
Once I get the text placed, I'll give ya'll the details about the book, itself. :D
Zoom in for better view. If ya'll see anything I need to do more postwork on, before going to print, please send me a message so I can fix it. Thanks

That tall girl!! She look MEAN! I Like this image..
WOW..What a marvelous team here, very cool characters, looks like and RPG game scene, loved it!
Lol ... She's supposed to look deadly. She comes from a race of elven assassins. Thanks
Thanks, mg. :D The author gave me a very eclectic group to work with.
Fantastic collection of superheros!
Very cool character designs! Great work
Looks like you nailed it to me... excellent collection of heroes. Their personalities come across beautifully.
It is excellent. I thank you. 5+!
thanks, cytron, nite, & barry. :D I had fun learning about each one of them and figuring out how they'd stand, what expression they'd show, and accents to their clothing or hair, right down to the nipple-ringed pirate. :D
Thanks, Fidelity. I must have been responding to the others at the same time you were commending. Thanks for the 5+ :D
An amazing & unique cast of characters! You've done a great job portraying them!
Thank you. It took some time to color balance the work and keep consistent with the book, at the same time. Authors, when creating their characters, don't necessarily 'see' how they'd look together, whether they'd look balanced or like the Village People or not.
~A really fabulous collection of characters!~
Thanks, alessimarco. :D
Very cool characters. Love the tall archer.
Thanks. :D I found it odd that of the five, she is meant to be the assassin, a racial trade, it seems. She's hardly stealthy ... lol. Lime green hair and 9 foot something ... So, I tried to portray her deadly confidence and nature with her stance and expression.
Amazing set of characters! They look very well balanced as a team. That is so hard to do. You pulled it off perfectly. Nice scene and lighting.
cool characters and personnages,good job
Very fantastic character, pose and outfit. Beautiful scene. Very well done.
Thanks, Jules, JC, and Byte. :D Between focusing on the individual characters, the color balance, the compositional balance, and the merging of dynamic cloths with conforming closes (and not making the conforming clothes look like plastic against the dynamics), it look me longer than I expected, but the client is happy with it ... which the most important part. Now it's just the waiting on her approval of the cover design. She didn't like the first text set-up I submitted, so I had to re-group. As soon as we have a winner, I'll post the completed cover. Thanks for all of the support, everyone. :D
LOVE IT, Beautiful characters
Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The characters look great and nice render. Thanks for commenting on my artwork and adding me to your favorites.
I like it the way it is and love the long staff and flint lock pistol!
