no problem, Patty...
Must agree, Violet. This is a GORGEOUS cover and makes a great match with the Bantam series. I'm in love with it. So nice to see Indy amongst the snowflakes but rather sad to know the book is just beyond our grasp!Violet said:Seeing the cover just makes me more sad. The cover actually fits in with the rest of the novels (for some reason, the AotD cover does't follow suit in looks, though I suppose it did match with the adult novel of KOTCS).
Also for our posterity, the artist's name is: Christian GuldagerRocket Surgeon said:In any event, for our posterity:

Kredepops said:Thanks all, glad you like my artwork for SOK. The artwork above is indeed almost 13 years old (I was 18 at the time) and in acrylics (which I abandoned mostly in favor of painting digital). I do work full time now as a freelance illustrator, doing covers for novels and illustrations for kids books.
I'm from Denmark, but this last year I've been doing covers for 7 Realms publishing in the US (I was very kindly introduced to them by Rob MacGregor). I've been doing a series of covers for their Indy/adventure-inspired novels 'Dodge Dalton' which you may like. All available on Amazon.com.
Anyway thanks for all the kind words about my SOK cover, there may be a possibility for a limited edition print next year for those interested.
Oh, I've also done two covers for Dale Dassel's excellent novel adaptation of Fate of Atlantis. One cover is viewable now while the other will be revealed when the novel is done this spring.

That way they don't fork out for publishing a book they don't think they can sell enough print copies of (although CELEBRATE INDY BOOKS ON KINDLE WITH THIS EXCLUSIVE ORIGINAL NOVEL has a nice ring to it ), can gauge the market, and we get to read it.
