Neural Wraith - Chloe Cover

Added 2025-11-02 02:22:15 +0000 UTC

Some comments on the 2025 anniversary post (go read that, btw) reminded me that I never posted the updated Kushiel cover art or even Chloe's cover for the eventual Neural Wraith omnibus (god knows when that will happen lmao).

With Neural Wraith ending with Book 5 (almost certainly), I decided to commission an extra piece of art for an eventual omnibus for the entire series. Maybe putting the entire series in one book will fix the readership falloff and sales problems. Who knows. It also gave me an excuse to get Chloe drawn, even if she apparently lost her clothes.

I wanted this cover to harken back more to the original Uriel cover in terms of style and theme, as while I love the Ezekiel cover, I get the feeling a lot of people didn't vibe with it and especially the Helena cover. Although it's difficult to beat the Uriel cover in terms of vibe and feel, as it hits a lot of elements at once (police, android, hot chick, cyberpunk, color scheme).

Finally, for anyone worried, any omnibus will be 6-12 months after Book 5 comes out, so don't worry about being screwed over if you grab the books as they come out. I just like having art of the girls and being ready.

There's also a fanservice version of this cover for Messengers only.
