The cover for Book 5 is finally finished!

I'm considering a few changes—like removing the cockroach, zooming in on Nat, and adjusting the layout. It's something I'll decide later based on what I like the most.

On the cover, you can see Lissandra, the black mana dagger, the dagger made from Saint Absolute’s flesh and bones, with the 5th floor Champion’s eye imbued into it. And more!

While it’s not 100% lore-accurate—Nat has too many arms, Flamebearer could be more damaged, and there are some other small details—I’m really happy with how it turned out!

P.S.: Plz, no spoilers.

are nat’s eyes supposed to be heterochromatic? or is it just the lighting

Happycolt

Awesome! The sketch shall be missed.

Cnote

Nice!

Nerø

Nat has heterochromia!

Tsorov

Can we exchange the cockroach with an actual cockroach, with both her blades? Just for the jokes of course, probably not as the official cover, but for our inside Patreon joke?

ShockedCorgi

I love it! If I had to make a suggestion I would ask to make Nat a little haggard looking or crazed, that would add a little suspense while also being more cannon.

Desoxyephedrine

ohh okok thanks! For some reason i assumed his eyes were the same color due to the mana wavelength iris.

ShockedCorgi

I also really like how the artist made Nat's Mana arm in this work.

I cannot imagine a more HDT quote than: *Nat has too many arms*. Like.. how dare he have a flesh and blood appendage, doesnt he know mana is superior?

cerim

the artist is too busy for me to commission it unfortunately

cerim

the artist is incapable of making Nat not look handsome

tost

Yeah cut out lissandra... she comes back anyway ;). In that case it would be more generic and fitting to more parts from the book. Also im not sure but the mana pointer finger seems too long compared with the other hand but maybe it's my imagination. The arm is really good, doesn't need flesh anyway.

tost

Yeah cut out lissandra... she comes back anyway ;)

HO

The picture is great, I love it. I agree with the improvement points you wrote too. I could add that the mana crown could be a little more like a halo with a futuristic style. Also some runes on the left arm and the weapons.

Augustus

Add in evident of staying awake for days as well his hair is nice and he would not care about that.

Liss looks short and young on it. Like 16 yo. Not early 30s but perfect body. Great pic though. Forgot about the white hair.

Arnon Parenti

Make the eye on the dagger look straight at the reader.

Alex

Yeah, remove Lissandra and add Biscuit.

I feel like the mana should look more solid. Both the arm and the crown. But i guess that just my headcannon. Nice artwork. .

Sean

I think the way she's holding the dagger is a little weird. I'd imagine she'd be holding it loosely, maybe even having the tip pointing down. That pose looks like she's trying to shank Nat.

Tsorov

Pity, the art looks very good!

arnumart

I feel like Nat does not look smug enough.

Larry L

I feel like the crown looks a bit boring. I was envisioning it with only three finials at the front

nixytrixy

Love it, the concept art sketch is a close second though

Felipe Reis

When you look at this angle it doesn't prepare you for the complete *ss whoop trashing she gave him hahaha

Mandarin

I personally think, that if the cockroach is kept on the cover, that making her seem even more relaxed is a bit better foreshadowing. Also, nat being as serious as he looks here, with Liss being really calm and leaning back could signify that she is noooot worried at all

zoarian

Yeah, I like your point about Liss being relaxed. When they fought, she was partially disciplining an unruly student and partially testing his abilities. I never got the impression she was fighting seriously even though Nat gave everything he had. It'd be hard to convey all that in a single picture but making her more casual would help.

Palao Toug

Is that a Jojo reference?

Flippu

Make Liss wear her suit, this version feels kinda underwhelming to her imao

Rocotrap

Well if it's possible it'd be a nice reference him having an evil orb or two likely bc he forgot about them

Gwalmeich

Why is there a bug on my screen?

Mark Bullock

I smashed my phone a few days ago by leaving it on the car... all I cared about was my patreon...

Noblessejav

Love it. My only gripe is Lis needs more muscle

kyle

I like it just the way it is!
