The call for artists was a success, and I have four covers in hand! Two thumbnails are now posted to the locked section of the site.

One image will be chosen by the project patrons for the final. Honestly, I like all of them for different reasons, and it's wonderful to see the talent one finds just by asking talented newcomers.

But it's not just new artists. One established pro piece may arrive tomorrow as well, though it's iffy. It would be quite a coup, I think, but … well, I'm not paying professional rates, so I can't fault them if it doesn't show. One lives in hope.

I'm also feeling like a bit of a slacker; more design analysis and the fourth outline will be forthcoming early next week, if not sooner.
