Cover for Mythic Guide to Characters

[Black Dragon]

I don't know... looks a little too "50 Shady" to me. I like the color scheme though. I'd use a different image- hot metal on an anvil or something like that.

Actually, masks were a symbol for "characters" in drama long before S&M fiction became all the rage.

Latest version of the cover looks good. Another idea would have been to continue the colour instead of removing it. Continue it as a gradient into the title so that it fades very gracefully to black.

Yes, I get that. But in the current public consciousness, the cover will likely evoke 50 Shades. Not sure you want that.

The cover of "50 Shades Darker" apparently has a mask on it. I just looked at it. But Black Dragon's cover doesn't really evoke that feeling. It makes me think of the "tragedy/comedy" masks. I think most people that this book is being marketed towards would get that and not draw some parallel to 50 Shades just because it has a mask on it.
