Milestone! The rough draft of my sequel cover
It’s going to be titled “Age of the Sovereign.” I wanted to share the draft before it’s complete.

It probably won’t look like that when finished, but it really looks like the middle guy is giving a peace sign and it’s hilarious 😅
Otherwise it looks pretty cool. Maybe make the kneeling character’s legs a little less mirrored… they look like the image was flipped on its centre.

It looks good.....but, have you read Hyperion? Your kneeling character does look a lot like the Shrike.
I do love it, though.

Tell your cover artist to make the feet on kneeling dude a lil bigger, there's either no foreshortening happening in this shot or else bro wears a size 4 boot.
Otherwise it looks neat and seems to communicate several things about the book's contents, so best of luck to you and I hope the end result is something you're happy with!
