I always suspected it was hard work to be a cover designer and it's nice to know that when he can, he reads the book to get a feel for the whole book.<br /><br />I don't read much Urban Fatnasy but I love the covers, the ones featured here are gorgeous! Especially the first True Blood one, I love the blood and the skin is almost weathered? I guess?

I actually mentioned it in my review and had googled Tony's name!<br /><br />Thank you for including that snippet "Direction from the client." Very Cool! You definitely delivered. In fact, I swear I found the exact part of the book the covers was depicting. lol!<br /><br />Actually... I love all three covers of the series!<br />You mentioned your favorite cover was one because you included details... well, I love these covers for the same reason. <br />Did you do the third one as well. I assume so since but not sure!<br /><br />Anyways, thanks for coming over and doing this Q&A. I am very fascinated by covers and artwork. I wish I had a pinky of the talent you and other artists like you have.<br /><br />Aloha!!!!♫♥✿Chas @ LovLivLife Reviews✿♥♫https://www.blogger.com/profile/14305411158834256852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263131327639736886.post-71996294416727681132010-06-13T03:33:32.837-04:002010-06-13T03:33:32.837-04:00The covers are simply awesome!

My favorite one is, I guess the Spider´s bIte cover!<br />And your apartment looks awesome, if I may add. I love the colors! And the swords.

Great idea Tynga to investigate the cover in front of the story and thank you Tony for giving us a glimpse into the behind the scenes of cover-making, I very much enjoyed rading about it! (And let me tell you, I prefer the 1st version of First Blood much mpre than the 2nd one, much more unique and attention grabbing).<br /><br />Thank you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08595369872159009395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263131327639736886.post-40529854409504175742010-06-13T00:26:35.217-04:002010-06-13T00:26:35.217-04:00I've always thought cover artists much work re...I've always thought cover artists much work really heard to get the cover where it is.
