Twilight Hunter Cover
🕑 Added 2025-08-31 18:47:23 +0000 UTCThe untitled version of the cover came in recently, and I love it. It's charming and happy, which is something we all want for our main character. The cover doesn't directly depict a scene from the book, but is inspired by Taylor's second trip into Twilight, when he meets Saria. As you can see, he has both hands. Maybe, this is the same food stall on a different day. Just look at that happy little face!
Book cover dimensions vary quite a bit. Audiobooks are square, ebook covers have a 5:8 ratio, and physical book proportions vary by trim size. So it's useful to have an image you can trim and retitle. Until then, it makes a fun background for your cell phone. I've been using the Cursed Child cover as my background for a while now, and am ready for a change.

Should the fish be a swordfish? In a later chapter Saria sounded like she didn’t like seawater and was a freshwater spirit.

You are spot-on. He's definitely a year or two too young in this picture. I ended up going with it because (a) it perfectly captured the feeling I wanted, (b) covers don't have to be literal, and (c) the artist wasn't responsive. As in, probably didn't read my notes at all. Normally, I wouldn't have accepted the work, but I genuinely adore this image. I mean, look at that cute face! And, it wasn't a lot of money. (This was before my patrons gave me something resembling a budget.) Artists and I have a checkered history. I had one artist quit on me because I dared to use ALL CAPS at them when I had to repeat myself more than once. Another one quit, insisting I had insulted him for the last time, despite never mentioning any prior insult. Then there was the time I paid for artwork I couldn't use, because the artist gave me exactly what I asked for. (Not all my ideas are good ones.) After eight books, I'm still learning.

Looks wonderful, just one question:is it me or the child looks around 7 y old instead of 10-11?
