Order of Tales color cover

Possible cover for the Order of Tales one-volume book, without the text at bottom of course. I love the Rice Boy book having no text on the cover, so I think this would work too? I think this would be pretty striking on the front of a 6 by 9 inch, 800-page book. And its shape suggests the nib-icon on the front of Koark’s book, which I like.
I’ve been laying out the book for a while now. I can’t believe I drew 740 pages of this thing. I am still happy with it, but am coming across problems I have with it now. I have less and less of a problem with noticing that kind of thing, though, probably in part by seeing that people are still responding well to Rice Boy. It’s a story, but in a way anything we make is an expression of the particular time in our life and development, and that is not in itself a problem.
