Wow, this is an incredible cover. I love the charging buck in the title, and the foreshadowing of the stone dragons.
I hope you continue to make fan-art for these books after you're done with all the covers!

Thank you so much. I'm so happy when people notice the little extra things I put in
There's definitely potential for fan art, as I have a lot of sketches I'd be happy to explore further

Przeglądałam tą książkę w Empiku i się zastanawiałam kto zrobił taką fajną okładkę

YOU ARE AMAZING.
This is one of the best cover ever, ever, ever. I love how gritty Fitz is. And dark. And the pin and Nosy and he looks at us. Also, he is dressed in medieval fashion. Buckkeep blue!
And the dragon in the stone! Did I mention the dragon in the stone?

Thank you ! For the first trilogy we decided to have only Fitz on the covers (I've Royal Assassin ready and I'm working on Assassin's Quest now), but I'll be doing The Tawny Man as well and I definitely want to do my impression of the Fool for these covers.

Actually I've just uploaded the next one fav.me/d7t7ztu
I'm pretty sure international shipping won't be a problem. I can post here some links when the books are published

But the Traders exist in Polish, right? That way, you would get to draw Amber, maybe? 
Yes, the Rain Wild Chronicles are nice, although I prefer the Farseer connected ones
That would be nice, actually - thank you

Yes they do, although the translation of the first two volumes isn't very good (it is close to the original, but I find it lacks the quality). They were published by a different editor. I'd love to draw Amber

So let's hope they will re-publish a new version of the Liveship Traders as well, maybe even with a new translation
Yes, Paragon ... I've been trying to draw him once, Amber as well. My attempt at Amber was ~ well, not too bad, but the one with both of them seems to remain forever unfinished

I think Amber must be quite a challenge. Especially when you've read all the books and know her identity

Yes, she was and so I drew on version of her. I'm not sure if I'm satisfied with the outcome, but at least I finished one drawing of her
It was funny to discover her because I read the Liveship Traders after the Tawny Man trilogy ... too bad I couldn't discover things for myself for I already knew by then
