Early this year I worked with Halil Ural to get a cover image for J.R. Parker's novel. Halil was apprenticed to established fantasy artist Kerem Beyit. So I approached Kerem and he agreed to do the piece. It is turning out fantastic. Kerem Beyit is from Turkey and you can see a host of his work at http://www.theartofkerembeyit.com/
Here is his preliminary sketch for my book cover (I think it is the best version yet!)

That's awesome! I love the new design of the blog by the way. Looking forward to Offspring!
There will be a number of changes to the heroine, but mostly just her clothing. But it is looking awesome!
Preliminary sketch? I can't imagine what the finished picture will look like! Wow!
That's a sketch? Wow.
Wow Scott....just wow.
Jaw dropping art there man! I can't imagine what this would have looked like with the megatrath haha
Is he going to do the SOTS cover too? I wanna see him draw that concept you were talking about lol
LOL I've had nothing but very positive feedback on this piece. I guess he was a good choice!
Nathan,
I don't think so. Unfortunately I just can't afford it at this time. I like the original anyway, and I'd like to put my money toward a nice piece for book 3
@Scott, sounds good :D If you add the antique thing over this piece I suppose it would look similar, enough, to the SOTS pic. :)
Keep in mind that AMG will probably use an entirely different cover designer... the image will be the same but the design will likely change.
