At long last, the cover to Shield and Crocus has been revealed on Tor.com!
Go over there and bask in the awesomeness, okay? I’ll wait here.
Back?
Super-cool, right? I was totally awed. Like, open jaw ‘Whaaa?’ awed. It think that Stephan Martinière is one of the best fantasy/science fiction artists working today (and might be the single best landscape painter among them), so the fact that he brought one of my worlds to life, and with a painting of that caliber, is still kind of mind-blowing for me, almost a month after I saw the first rough sketches.
While you’re basking in the cover’s awesomeness, you might as well go and pre-order Shield and Crocus in your preferred format 😉
That is absolutely stunning, Michael!
I’m not sure how it works with cover art – would you be able to get a print of this artwork to frame and display?
I should be able to get a print. That will depend on the terms of the contract – I may end up going straight to Stephan Martinière and ordering a print.
When I hear about general commercial availability of prints, I’ll be sure to let folks know.
Yeah, I’d buy a print of this (or hope its in Stephan’s next collection). I’ve only one print of his, but a slew of his books
