Self-Publishing: More on Covers

So I'm going to continue on this self-publishing thread for the next several weeks. I thought I'd focus on a question I got last week in the comments.

LinWalsh asked me what I liked in cover art. So I thought I'd share some fantasy covers that I like.







Here are the websites of some professional fantasy artists. Amazing. Enjoy. :o)

 On a side note, my submission to Angry Robot has moved up to the editorial department. (sigh). Nothing like good news to make me all confused. lol. I'll continue with the self-publishing plans until I know for certain what is up with the submission. I'll keep you all updated on how that process progresses.

    Those covers are way cool. And that's so awesome that your book moved up to editorial! Good luck with everything!

    Yay! Thanks for answering my question. I can see a pattern to the covers you like: epic-looking illustration, bold type. I really like all three. Your cover will be great!

    I own the first two books you show. I admit I picked up the second one from an unknown author because the cover attracted my eye.
    Good luck with Angry Robot. They rejected me last month.

    The art of the second cover is stunning. I love pictures that look real, but you can also tell they're painted. It's just a huge nod to the artist.
