  Hi, I did in fact like it Tomas. It just didn't suite this specific project. It didn't have the Keith Parkinson influence I was hoping for this project specifically. Thank you.

Hi! I see that you've provided a lot of information for the project, but I still have a few questions. You say that it's for adults, but can you be more specific like around 20-30 or 15-25 years....? 'Cause there's difference in the world perception between the late teens and the adults. Second - 4 main characters, but you want jiust one of them to be on the cover - the magician-warrior you've descriped, right? And for the style you shown as an example, well I don't think it stands out - it's a matter of taste - right, but from a possision of a fantasy reader-veteran ( :D ) I can say that it looks to me like 90% of mid-class fantasy literature cover. I got something in mind, but before I start working on it, I need you to give me some waypoins. Also - if you got any color scheme in mind - how you imagine the athmosphere in your world? Is it more cold or exotic?...

Hi. Please tell me more about the book that you are writing. The storyline or the plot or the theme.

  Hi,
  I am not going to disclose too much about the novels themselves until confirmation of copywriter registration and the issue of the necessary intellectual property references.
  It is a book for adults set in a fantasy world. Magic and science exist side by side.
  Most of the world is run by old families much like feudal Europe.
  Many strange creatures exist, from dragons, to giants and more.
  The storyline itself revolves around the central theme of an unbreakable friendship between the 4 central core characters, and the challenges they face in early to mid adulthood.
  Please note there is no throwing of rings into volcanoes involved here.
  Regards ,
  Mike.

Hi, I am currently working on my submission and am done with most of the artwork but I have a few questions that would be easier to ask now rather than after it is completed. Do both sides of the army have a colour scheme? So far I added blue-almost purple for the 'knights' side, so the main characters outfit is that colour but I can quickly change it to reflect what image you have in your mind. Also are the barbarian army similar to how the dotraki (from game of thrones) look? If you have detailed any of this in your book then I would appreciate being informed. Or even provide references.

  Hi,
  
  No specific colour themes yet for the army. I will consider something light, like a light blue or light greene.
  
  The ""barbarians"" in my mind are not like the Dothraki, not so wild. Perhaps more just like shabby knights. Less shabby and shiny that the organised knights. Think more Wildlings just not as cold if that makes any sense :)

Hi Again,

I am going to start rejecting some submissions that are not updating to try and cut down on the number of entries to review. If you feel you have made significant changes to a rejected image please resubmit it and i will consider it again. Thank you.

Hi,

I will not chose a winner until after the deadline.

I will do the best checks I can for copied work and will request providence of various stages of the final product.

If the novels are even slightly succesful, owning the copywrite on the artwork will be extremely important to me.

Regards,

Mike

Hi. Please let me know if you suspect copied works. With specific details please. I will check as best i can and not award to a copied piece. Some common themes are coming up from my comments:

1. Please check Keith Parkinson work to give an idea of the kind of art style i am looking for. Don''t copy.
2. Don't be afraid to add a little colour!
3. Imagine a bookshelf full of books. What is going to make someone look at your cover?

Regards,

Mike
