The on going dilema of the cover.
I had a major wobble this week trying to tweak artwork in the process of designing the paperback cover. To be honest I went mad for a while and created a monster!

Then sanity crept back and I finally taught myself how to use layers in image editing software and found a font which works well with the fantasy genre. I also decided the name change (The Beast/Blade of the Beast) for the book lost the simplicity of the original, though I do still like it.

I like the fact that with this cover you get more of the monster.
Who knows if it will change again over the coming weeks. I hope not. At least I now have a cover for the paperback.

What do you think?
