@EClark:

I am operating under the assumption that these were just quick renders to get some ideas flowing.

Quote - Anyway, I decided to  do three book covers just to give myself some ideas of the cover art and what the titles should look like and I'd like your opinion.

With that in mind, I humbly submit this for your consideration. It was a couple hours work and I used 4 different programs to arrive at the final image.

Since I don't have the characters or props that you have, I used Sydney, Ryan, the midieval clothing for Ryan, a gown I made for Sydney, and Dryjack's cottage ruins. The woods behind are just a background image. The titles and other text were added in Microsoft Office Powerpoint.

If I had a nickle for ever time a woman told me to get lost, I could buy Manhattan.
