Cool cover!
Um, is there some cover other than the one with the badly-drawn, coloured-in-by-a-primary-school-kid, head-too-big-for-his-body guy, that merits the adjectives 'splendid' and 'cool'?
Well, that certainly isn't how I'd describe the cover, so possibly.
The "head-too-big-for-his-body guy" has six fingers, too. You may wish to consider whether these things might not be deliberate.
I like it - not the best of the Time Hunter covers, but comfortably mid-range in what has been a decent run of covers.
Hmm. Perhaps I should give up commenting on my own covers -- I thought at the time that OtCotS was great, when in retrospect it clearly isn't. I think the excitement comes from seeing something I've imagined made visible.
I still like the new cover, though.
To move away form specifics, I am not sure why sci-fi publishers are so keen on representational covers anyway -- I think non-representational ones are much more stylish, nicer to look at, etc etc. The original covers of 'Only Forward' or 'Spares' (not the 'neon icon' ones, though those aren't that bad), for example. But sci-fi publishers often seem to have this need tostick on a picture of a character, an alien, a spaceship, or what-have-you, which will never look as good as the image the reader can create in their mind (if they're that kind of reader) or just distracts them with extraneous visual information (if they're not).
Still, I suspect that covers might look different if they have your own name on.
