Now. I never wanted to envision what my character, Tex, looked like. He was sorta' vague in my mind and I liked him that way. So, it's shocking to see him living and breathing on my cover.
What's slyly awesome about C.J.'s stellar work is I believe the cover will appeal to both guys and gals. And that's what I wanted. Thanks, C.J.!
Congrats Stu! It looks awesome. I'm very much like you and prefer not to have actual faces on covers because I feel like it forces me to have a specific image and I much prefer to imagine my own characters so I can understand and relate to your reservations about it. I don't know this story (yet) but as long as YOU feel it's a good representation of Tex, then I'll go with it. I do have to say that I LOVE the skateboard with the symbol on it. Skateboarders are just HOT period, so that totally works for me. :D Good luck and CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHey, thanks, Mel! Yeah, I really didn't want to show the character's face, but it's more commercial. The pentagram on the skateboard is cool. It's not really in the book, but it's so iconic, I added it into the sequel.
DeleteAwesome cover!
