 So, the artist who did the other covers is not available. I may give this a shot myself (and if you guys don't approve, I WILL put out a call for another cover artist), but I have a contract with Dreamstime for two downloads a month, and I haven't used my second (my first was the octopus).  So, which of these three best evokes Imshee? They would be in the background (and I pray someone can find me the cover model who "plays" Liam).

The top one makes me think of the Imshee.

I'll gladly design it for free if you'd like! (www.TiferetDesign.com)

Ashtara

First or second, I think.

Th gold space ship makes me think of insects (like the imshee), but I like the purple back ground better. Which, I realize isn't super helpful :/

That would be wonderful. I can buy the background image (it looks like the top one is the winner so far), and I just found the cover model over at Adobe Stock. So I'm downloading several images with him. What else would you need, because I do not want you out of pocket on this

The silver one has the very holes described in the ship, but it is very clothes dryer interior, innit?

I really liked the first one on first sight. And I love the golden background, let’s me think on a golden (aka one and happy) future.

Sorry, I wanted to write long and happy future, not one and happy, lol

I really like the feel of the third one. Especially as background.

If you decide to contract out your covers, here's some cover providers I've had highly recommended to me (and I've personally had a great experience with Resplendent Media): <a href="http://angstyg.com/services/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://angstyg.com/services/</a> <a href="https://www.jacqueline-sweet.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.jacqueline-sweet.com/</a> <a href="http://resplendentmedia.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://resplendentmedia.com</a>

The third one is the interior of a washing machine :-)

Lyn Gala

Yes it is, but I imagine a cover artist could tweak that and it actually is listed on the site as a alien ship. However, it's clearly not the winning ship in this case.

Lyn Gala

Thank you so much for the recommendations. It's always good to have a personal reference for this kind of work
