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.

As a piece of art, the one with the spacestation is really nice. For a cover, though, I think simpler is better, given that the publisher is going to be putting BIG LETTERS over most of the art? Had they chosen the the art featuring the station, we'd've had a hard time seeing it in any detail, by the time the compositing department was done with it.
