in reference to the "aboriginal book cover" and this isn't a criticism , just a personal observation, I presume you are trying to illustrate Native Americans, First Peoples? not Australian Aboriginees' , I actually don't see much resemblance to those nations in the image. I can sort of make out some features that could be remotely recognised, but they do seem like a sort of a 20th generation post disposessed Cherokee , white anglo mix if not more white anglo than native. Before anyone picks me up on the fact I am British and have no idea what I'm talking about, we lived and travelled extensively in the USA from 1996 to 2003, I've always had a fascination with the native peoples and their cultures, and as my US family lived on the aptly named trail of tears, it further stirred my interest, so I visited many reservations in the USA, and met more than a dozen indigenous tribes, yes the facial features have become diluted in many cases from intermarriage, and that is what I see in the book cover. Just my opinion, not a criticism as I stated.

Slightly OT, one old guy I met on an Osage res said "If every Amercian that claimed to have cherokee heritage actually did, the trail of tears was better for that peoples  than fertility drugs" LOL
