Sneak Peek Eye Candy: Alliance of Equals

[rolanni]

Here we have something rare and precious -- a sneak peek of the comp of the cover for Alliance of Equals.  Which is to say a suggested layout.  Sort of like the cover version of a first draft.

We are cautioned that the final cover may change, but this is where the Art Department at Baen is currently tending.

Art by David Mattingly, and yes, this does illustrate an Actual Scene from the book.

I could be wrong, but look at the background just above the new and around universe? See the dark spot with a star in it at about 45 degrees up from new? Is that an eye? And there's another one over and up a little to the left. Then the body and paws are below, holding up the universe?

Is that a cat, or just a random pattern that my brain is interpreting?

Overlaid by print? The face is pretty vague - not very cat-like. More a Liaden Possum.
