The Ashbound Oaths cover art has been revealed and it's beautiful. It turned out better than I hoped. Originally, I planned to use the same artist from Relentless Blades, but he took longer than I wanted in responding to me, so I went with a new artist: Jesh Art Studios https://www.fiverr.com/s/o8kNGRA
He did a fantastic job at a very reasonable price. Here you can see the progression of his work from the concept to the finished product.
This was Jesh's first concept sketch. I could tell right away he got my vision.
This was his first colored version. I loved it right away, but I wanted a dragon peeking through the clouds and felt the background needed to be more visible.
This was the next version and came very close to what I envisioned but still needed a few tweaks. I felt the characters were too close together and I wasn't a fan of the dragon's arms.
And here we have the final image with no text. I love it!
The final cover with the title and my name. It perfectly captures what I was going for. Not only is it a scene directly from the book but also lets a perspective reader know exactly the kind of story they are in for if they read it.
