A thousand apologies for the gap between posts. My time has been devoured by editing and other things. But what better way to make it up than to reveal the preliminary cover sketch for Kestrel's Midnight Song? Woohoo! (Click to view full size)
Let me get this out of the way: DO NOT COPY, TRANSFER, OR REDISTRIBUTE IN ANY WAY.
For those interested, that's Micah, the main character, on the back of the Aegre Bird, which is a half bird, half dragon.
The cover art is being done by Halil Ural, under the direction of Kerem Beyit. (Halil Ural is Kerem Beyit's apprentice). If you love fantasy art, you must go check out Kerem Beyit's site at http://theartofkerembeyit.com/ The gallery is good for hours of browsing wonder.
Anyhow, what do you guys think? Personally, I'm holding my jaw up with duct tape. I can only imagine what it will look like when it's completed.

There are a lot of things I like about that sketch and yeah, definitely can't wait to see the finished cover. I'd stumbled across Kerem Beyit's work before and think it's amazing, and Halil Ural has some very interesting pieces too. That's very exciting that that's who is making your cover!
Totally sweet, Jacob :)
AMAZINGLY AWESOMELY AWESOME! (excuse my terms...I'm too exhausted to talk literary like at the moment. ;)
It is VERY cool--very, very, very cool. :)
Hope editing and everything is going well...that's my problem. If I start editing, I over-edit at times, and then under-edit, and I take forever. ;)
Blessings,

It looks wonderful! I can't wait to see it finished!!!! Better yet, I can't wait to see it finished, attached to the binding, and in my hands :)
As for the gap between posting.... I suppose you are forgiven ;)

It's wonderful, Jacob! I can't wait until my autographed copy is sitting on my self, having berrn well-read, of course. :-)
I second what Jill and Storyteller said. :)
Chris, you second ST's seconding everyone else? oooh that's cool.

It's wonderful!
I'm getting excited about this book... I couldn't wait to read it even before I saw the cover sketch... now, I'm itching to open up the cover and dive in! :)
Congrats!
WOWZER!!! I know you've heard it before, but let me say it again: THAT IS AN AWE-STRIKING COVER!
I know I don't have any say, but it looks really good in black and white, and I saw and awesome book cover (you may have seen it also)of a fantasy bird that was half black and white and faded into color.
Very awesome!
Wow! What an awesome cover pic! I can't wait to get the whole book!
Intensely EPIC!
Thanks

Amazing sketch Jacob! :)

Wow this is amazing! You are in the big time now. Now get them to send you to ICRS! :) I'll be there in June
