As always, enjoy the high resolution cover of the new Spellblade and of Alice. It's a gorgeous image of her and does a great job of riding the line between fanservice and being a great fantasy cover.
I've also included the initial line draft of the cover, which I mentioned months ago (don't worry about the text - the heading was for reference and the DT covers were long finished by this point). It definitely had a much sharper feel to it but I loved it.
One of the things I love about my newer covers is the level of detail in them as you zoom in, rather than just at the "cover" level. Commercially, the thumbnail remains king, but I am a sucker for great art. This cover retains a ton of detail when you zoom in.
The next cover in the series goes to Ciana, as I think a number of Messengers saw when I briefly posted a WIP of it. After that will be Seraph, then the final cover is a tossup between two characters.
